Downpours in densely populated Guangdong this week sparked inundations and landslides, with some areas seeing record flooding. More than 55,000 people were affected by the rains, it said, adding that over 2,200 homes and nearly 4,700 roads had collapsed. Footage by CCTV on Friday showed an entire village inundated by muddy water that lapped against broken masonry and roofs with missing tiles.
State media reported this week that some areas had endured"once-a-century flooding... the biggest since historical records began".
