Rescuers Search for Survivors of China Storms as Super Typhoon Nears

Officials said 60,000 people were evacuated as flash floods, dam breaches and tornadoes left homes submerged and rescue efforts underway.

  • In the southern region of Guangxi, at least 130,000 residents were moved to safety after extreme flooding from Maysak, while the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters maintained a high-level emergency response.
  • Separately, severe convective weather triggered tornadoes in Hubei, killing at least 11 people and injuring 331, while 4,800 houses suffered damage and 22 collapsed, state news agency Xinhua reported.
  • President Xi Jinping ordered officials to "go all out" in organizing rescue operations, as authorities set aside 30 million yuan in reconstruction funds.
  • Eastern provinces are bracing for Super Typhoon Bavi, with Liu Fei, Party Secretary of Zhejiang's Hangzhou city, urging officials to shift into a "state of combat readiness" before expected landfall between Saturday and Sunday.
