Horrifying visuals of overturned cars and people trapped in flooded subways and streets of China have inundated social media in the past three days. A video by the China Xinhua News shows commuters in neck-deep water inside a metro line at the Zhengzhou city, which has a population of over 1.2 crore citizens, as they wait for rescuers to arrive.

At least 25 people, including 12 subway passengers, have been in the downpour so far, as China’s central Henan province witnesses its heaviest rainfall in a 1,000 years. Officials have stated that Zhengzhou recorded 617.1 mm rainfall from Saturday to Tuesday, nearly the same as the annual average rainfall in the city (640.8 mm).

According to state-run media, a total of 1.24 million people were affected by the flooding and as many as 1,60,000 were evacuated. Seven individuals have been reported as missing, while two were due to a wall collapse. Not just subways, streets, hotels, and a large number of buildings were waterlogged, bringing the city’s public transport to a halt. The Shaolin Temple, a sanctuary for Buddhist monks, has also been reportedly hit by severe floods.
