31,000+ EVACUATED — CHINA HIT by Massive Flooding (Latest Updates)
Heavy rain has battered Hainan, the tropical island province off southern China, since Friday, forcing more than thirty one thousand people from at-risk areas over the weekend.
The rain has centered on the island's southeast coast and inland mountains, with a township in Wanning recording four hundred fifty two millimeters over three days, the highest total in the province.
Officials say a storm system that moved in Friday kept feeding rain onto the same ground for days, saturating soil in the hills and sending runoff downhill into coastal towns.
Ports have closed, schools are suspended across twelve cities and counties, and reservoirs on the island's west coast are releasing water as authorities work to prevent further flooding downstream.
In this video, we cover the flooding and evacuations across Hainan, the record rainfall in Wanning, the water rescues carried out as rivers rose, and the reservoir releases officials are watching closely.
