At Least 10 Dead as Huge Floods Sweep Southern and Central China The news from southern and central China is dire, with at least 10 people confirmed dead in the wake of torrential rains that have brought widespread flooding and landslides to the region.
The affected area stretches for approximately 620 miles across Hunan, Guangxi, Hubei, Chongqing, and Guizhou. This latest bout of monsoon fury is not unprecedented in China's history with extreme weather events.
In 2010, record breaking floods in the Yangtze River basin left over a million people displaced and caused billions in damages.
