Over 95,000 people affected by heavy rainfall in Hunan

In Guzhang and Baojing counties, the most severely affected areas under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, the weather has become clear and the floodwaters has receded. Local officials and residents have been seen working together to resume transportation, electricity, and communication networks.

"I heard the drum beating at around six o'clock in the early morning on Friday. I opened the door and found village officials were beating the drums and alerted the villagers to the flooding. Within just 10 minutes, the floodwaters rose from the doorstep to my knees," recalled Deng Zhongxiang, a villager.
