I was looking at some uTubes of what’s going on in China and they are terrifying. One showed people trapped on subway cars in water up to their chests while a muddy torrent, clearly several feet higher, can be seen rushing past them through the windows.. Another guy was trapped in his car while the flood rushed by halfway up his windshield. Like a disaster movie only real! Yet, China claims only a few dozen deaths.
Most counts are based on recovered bodies.
So expect the official count to rise as rescue/recovery efforts get underway.
We do thy s same in the US.
Don’t speculate on mortalities - verify !
In the two thousand or so years that China has existed these idiots haven’t learned somewhere along the way how to deal with this?
