ALBAWABA - Flash floods in Shandong province in eastern China killed two people, local media confirmed on Tuesday.
The government in China said that half a year’s worth of rain fell in five hours, drenching the Laiwu district in Jinan city.
Up to 364 millimetres of rain filled parts of the provincial capital Jinan between midnight and 5 a.m., state broadcaster CCTV revealed, leading to the death of two, while rescue workers are searching for 10 missing people.
The heavy rain caused flash floods in two villages in the town of Dawangzhuang, "destroying or damaging" 19 homes.
"At present, all-out efforts are being made to search for and recover the missing persons," the broadcaster said.
