Remnants of Typhoon Gaemi trigger flash floods in northeast China

By Economic Times - 4 months ago
Two officials, including the deputy mayor of Linjiang city in Jilin province, went missing during flood rescue efforts, state broadcaster CCTV said, citing city authorities. More than 27,000 people in northeast China were evacuated and hundreds of factories suspended operations. Cyclonic winds from Gaemi, downgraded from a typhoon, had mostly dissipated by Sunday, but many parts of China remained under alert for flooding risks caused by earlier rains. Remnants of Gaemi's vast cloud-banks could still dump rain on already waterlogged cities, forecasters warned.
