Broken dams and bridges! The worst flood in 140 years in China, Typhoon Haikui
Broken dams and bridges! The worst flood in 140 years in China, Typhoon Haikui
Natural disaster 6 September 2023.
Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes and cars were washed away in floods. Storms, driven by the now weakened Typhoon Haikui, have made landfall in China’s southeast Fujian province after hitting Taiwan over the past two days.
About 114,000 people were moved from risky areas as the typhoon rolled in with a maximum wind speed of 20 metres (66 feet) per second.
Several areas in Fujian recorded more than 300 mm of rainfall in just over 24 hours. In Fuzhou city, two firefighters were missing after a fire truck carrying nine rescue workers was swept away by floodwaters during a mission.
Furniture were seen bobbing up and down in the floodwaters. Vehicles were swept away in the currents and some cars stranded in waterlogged areas were completely submerged.
Schools in Fuzhou city as well as in Xiamen, were also shut.
Many flights were cancelled at two airports in Fuzhou and Quanzhou, tourist spots and parks were shut, and ports, coastal and river transportation was suspended, state media reported.
The typhoon lost strength and became a tropical storm after its landfall.
It was last reported to be moving over southern Guangdong province, and forecasters expect it to continue to weaken.
Haikui slammed into the province just after Typhoon Saola barrelled into southern Guangdong province over the weekend.
Last month, northern and northeasten China saw heavy flooding caused by Typhoons Doksuri and Khanun which brought the capital Beijing its heaviest recorded rainfall in 140 years.
Over the weekend, the finance ministry said it had earmarked 1 billion yuan as disaster relief funds for floods, droughts or crop pests.
