The flood waters from the China rains already reached as high as three feet in many areas, destroying properties like houses and vehicles and causing severe destruction in many areas . There are some residents stuck in their homes, and there are possibilities they can be caught in mudslides if not evacuated soon enough. But people are still hopeful that the weather will clear up soon.
