Heavy rains drench Yunnan Province, triggering geological hazards that have impacted thousands. In southwest China's Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, nearly 6,000 people from over 1,600 households faced property damage—27 houses and 16 bridges were hit, with road disruptions at 97 spots. Emergency teams quickly relocated more than 1,700 residents, and thankfully, no fatalities have been reported so far. 🌧️
Meanwhile, in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, landslides, mudslides, and flash floods have blocked roads and forced the temporary closure of popular sites. The Meri Snow Mountain scenic zone saw flash floods that led to the evacuation of 300 tourists. Local transport and fire crews have been diligently working on repairs and rescue missions as dense fog adds to the challenges.
With meteorological authorities warning of more rain in the coming days, this incident is a stark reminder of nature's power. Stay alert, support your community, and take care during these intense weather conditions!
