City under sea, China dam release water! Many cars damage in Fujian

On July 28, Fujian Province was struck by the year's most powerful typhoon, which brought with it strong winds and torrential rainfall that swept across the region. The province faced an unprecedented deluge, leading to severe flooding and presenting significant challenges to local authorities and residents.

Definitely, some impressive rainfall and flooding occurred! There have actually been 2 typhoons in short succession; Philippines got hit too. (So far, reports back from my wife's relatives in Philippines indicate they are ok. One indicated the damage at his farm, mostly crops, was "typical for us".) Of the modest amount of footage I've seen, China's is more "impressive".

The headline appears to be written in Engrish.

HERE (Mid-South USA) the places that got 8-15” of rain a couple weeks ago still have standing water in a few spots. (There has been modest rain since then, too.) In my own yard there is a layer of smelly grey, almost inpenetrable clay, a couple feet down. Once the soil above that gets saturated, it doesn’t dry out quickly.

And... We have more heavy rain coming. (It actually started with a couple moderate rounds this morning.) This evening looks “interesting”, tho’ I don’t expect anything quite as epic as these two 2 typhoons in a row.)

[Paul R.]

Yeah.

This news report is like the millionth time the collapse is predicted...

Perhaps renamed at least in English....Three Disgorges Dam

[Reno89519]

Electric cars?

[struggle]

No, but for some reason, they're keeping the dam very low this year.

If I'm not mistaken, the title of this thread was borrowed from this movie poster.

Isn’t ‘climate warfare’ the best tool to thwart the Chicoms?

Keep driving those SUVs and fire up the BBQ! [/s]

Because Hunter & the big guy told them the Three Gorges Dam was a target of the US Military if China messed around too much
