Floods, mudslides kill two people in northwestern China city

In southwestern Guangxi on Friday, heavy rainfall in the city of Nanning led to urban flooding, forcing rush hour commuters to drive vehicles and motorcycles through waterlogged roads, CCTV said.

Local authorities set up cordons to allow drainage work on some roads, while the city dispatched nearly 3,900 police to help.

In the northeastern province of Jilin, efforts were underway to fortify a 90m breach in a river levee and protect 29 downstream villages, CCTV said. Some 500 officers and soldiers, 62 vehicles and three construction machines have been dispatched to seal the breach, it said.

In Huozhou city in the northern province of Shanxi, some low-lying houses faced stagnant water breaches, as floods from heavy rain trapped some residents in their buildings, the broadcaster said.

In the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, a flash flood swept away a road, trapping a number of people on Thursday, the official Xinhua News Agency said on Saturday, adding that more than 40 people were rescued.
