Heavy rains fall in Bazhong City, Sichuan Province, causing serious waterlogging in the city and rivers overflowing

Recently, due to extreme weather occurring in multiple provinces and cities in mainland China, the China Meteorological Administration declared a level four emergency. Torrential rains caused traffic mayhem and school closures in Beijing, residents in Hebei Province held onto trees to keep from getting flushed away, and floods in Sichuan swept away several ships.

Beijing began seeing heavy precipitation from around 11:30 in the evening on July 11, with an average rainfall of more than 2 inches. The rainfall in Fangshan New Village, Fangshan District, Beijing exceeded 4.3 inches. Lightning and thunder were erupting everywhere, in some places constant and intense lightning even lit up the sky. Rain storms caused severe traffic irregularities, while more than 700 flights were cancelled and trains delayed. On July 12, all kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools as well as outdoor sports activities were suspended.

The streets of Wu’an City, Hebei Province, 310 miles from Beijing, looked like rivers, causing some vehicles to be dragged away by the current.

China’s Central Meteorological Observatory (“Observatory”) said that the extreme weather affected a vast area, accumulating rainfall, strong turbulence, and a high disaster risk.

The Observatory’s newsletter stated that from July 11 to July 12, heavy rain occurred in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places. Among them, in central and southern Hebei, southeastern Shanxi, northern Henan, and northwestern Shandong, there was extraordinarily heavy rain, with 2–8 inches of rainfall, accumulating to between 8.5–13.5 inches in some areas. The heavy rains were accompanied by thunderstorms from level 8 all the way to level 10, and hail poured down in some parts of Hebei.

I’ve been told that the swimming pool on the Titanic still has water in it.

If you have Google Earth go to 30 49N, 111 00E and look at the Three Gorges Dam. As you slowly zoom in it shifts from photo imagery to computer graphics.

This is no doubt the result of "climate change" or perhaps the communist chinese virus or maybe even secondhand smoke ... who the hell knows anymore! I'll just have to wait to see what the "experts" command me to believe.

One thing for sure: At least part of the blame for the bad weather in China falls on Trump.

Prior to 2008, everything was Bush’s fault. Now it’s always Trump’s fault. It’s never Obama or Biden’s fault.

RE: One thing for sure: At least part of the blame for the bad weather in China falls on Trump.

In future, I look forward to them blaming Ron DeSantis (if not Trump ).
