Heavy floods cause devastating losses in China, leave shop owners in tears | ABS-CBN News

Small business owners along the streets of Pingjiang County in the Chinese province of Hunan Province woke up to devastating losses after the area was pounded by heavy rainfall and floods on Wednesday (July 3). Tan, a local resident and stationery shop owner, said that her family was trying to move all the goods to the attic when the floodwaters rose in the early morning, but the flood soon submerged the entire first floor. Tan mentioned that she received no prior notice before the flood arrived. Heavy rainfall pounded parts of central China's Hunan province earlier this week, causing the Miluo River in Pingjiang county to swell to its highest level in 70 years. Local authorities in Hunan activated the maximum emergency response level. About 340,000 people in China were affected and businesses were hit.
