China: Floods Swamp Southern Provinces
By Larry Habegger | Permalink |Floods ravaged 10 provinces in southern China, killing some 200 people and displacing more than 2 million. Some of these areas had just suffered their worst drought in decades only to see three times the normal rainfall for the period come in a week. With rivers bursting their banks and at least one dike having failed, the forecast called for another week of heavy rain. Provinces that were hit hard include Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Jiangxi and Sichuan.
