Although the number of this year’s No. 11 typhoon “Haikui” has been stopped on the afternoon of September 6, its residual low pressure still lingers in Guangdong, bringing continuous heavy rains to many places.

The rain in Tangxia began to fall on the morning of September 7 and has not stopped since then. On the evening of the 7th, the rainstorm continued to intensify, and the emergency response level for flood control was also continuously raised. This night was destined to be a sleepless night.

Tangxia recorded 86. 6 mm of precipitation in the past 3 hours. It is expected that there will still be heavy rainfall in Tangxia in the next 6 hours. The Dongguan Meteorological Observatory extended the red rainstorm warning to Tangxia at 21: 21 on September 7.

While the heavy rain is falling, the relevant departments and communities in Tangxia Town are taking urgent actions to mobilize various resources to carry out rescue work. Relevant departments are strengthening road inspections and timely cleaning drainage pipes to ensure smooth drainage. At the same time, we should do a good job in the warning work of the dangerous areas, promptly notify and evacuate the citizens in the dangerous areas, and organize personnel to transfer the people who may be affected and the groups with special difficulties. As of press time, 777 people have been relocated in Tangxia Town.
