Provincial authorities warned that water levels in the Bei River were expected to hit once in a century levels after another flood earlier this month. They later downgraded the warning, saying water would reach once in 50 years levels.
İn Guangdong Province, more than 54,000 people have been relocated across the province, with 12,256 people being urgently resettled, the department said. So far, 36 houses have collapsed, 48 houses have been severely damaged, resulting in a direct economic loss of nearly 140.6 million yuan or about 19.8 million U.S. dollars.
