M059-CHINA TIFON BAVI

Heavy rains from Typhoon Bavi battered parts of northeastern China, triggering floods, river warnings and emergency evacuations across Liaoning and Jilin provinces, as seen in foootage aired by Chinese state television CCTV on Tuesday (July 14).

In Shenyang, Liaoning Province, some areas recorded more than 450 mm of rainfall (more than 17 inches) after downpours began on Sunday (July 12). Floodwaters surrounded residential compounds in Hunnan District, trapping residents inside, CCTV said.

State TV reported that firefighters rushed to a residence after receiving reports that an elderly man had suddenly fallen ill. The man was taken to hospital for treatment. Rescuers then carried out door-to-door checks across the compound, and all trapped residents were evacuated.

The storm pushed several rivers above warning levels, while more than 80 reservoirs in Liaoning exceeded their flood-season limits and began controlled discharges.

In neighbouring Jilin province, authorities launched emergency responses, ordered round-the-clock embankment patrols and evacuated residents. Officials said 23 reservoirs in Jilin exceeded flood limits.
