Chinese flash flood kills 18
Flash flooding caused by torrential rain in south China’s Hunan province killed 18 people and left 15 missing, the official Xinhua News Agency said yesterday.
Some 10 inches of rain fell Sunday on Hunan’s Longhui county, prompting the floods and mudslides, which toppled at least 15 houses, Xinhua said. Rescue crews were looking for the missing on Monday, the report said.
While the months of June through August mark the annual rainy season that sets off floods and landslides in China, storms this year arrived unusually early.
Prior to Sunday, rain storms in southern China, including Hunan, had killed 170 people since late May and forced 1.6 million people to flee their homes.
