Скачать или смотреть River Overflows Banks to Flood a Hainan County in South China

Affected by this year's eighth typhoon codenamed Dianmu, most parts of the Lingao County in south China's Hainan Province have got flooded on Thursday after torrential rains have battered the county and a river has overflowed its banks to the county seat.

Typhoon Dianmu has landed in south China's Guangdong Province on Thursday afternoon, bringing torrential rains to much of the region.

Lingao on Thursday received almost the whole amount of its 2015 rainfalls. Though rains have stopped by late Thursday, floodwater from swollen upstream has continued gushing out of the river to the county seat. Most parts of the county got inundated, with places as deep as up to one meter.

More than 40,000 people are evacuated as of early Thursday, according to the provincial headquarters for droughts, floods and typhoons.

Trains to and from the island province as well as high-speed trains that loop around the island have all halted services. Ferrying services across the Qiongzhou Strait have also been suspended, and some flights have been grounded.

In Hainan's capital, Haikou, local meteorological authorities have issued a red alert for Thursday. Strong rains have caused urban flooding and water logging and most public transportation has been suspended in the city. More on: http://www.cctvplus.com/news/20160819...
