Flood Hits Yangtze River Basin Even Shanghai Affected
On the evening of July 21st, during the rush hour, the central urban area of Shanghai was unexpectedly hit by a torrential downpour and continuous thunderstorms. Many areas experienced severe flooding, turning streets into rivers, and making driving more like sailing.
A viral video circulating on the internet shows that in the streets of Shanghai, a large number of vehicles were submerged in water, and the water level rose rapidly, reaching the height of car windows. Another video showed some sections of roads experiencing severe flooding, with elevated bridges becoming "water bridges," as the bridge's barriers were about to be overflowed.

On the evening of July 21st, during the rush hour, the central urban area of Shanghai was unexpectedly hit by a torrential downpour and continuous thunderstorms. Many areas experienced severe flooding, turning streets into rivers, and making driving more like sailing.
A viral video circulating on the internet shows that in the streets of Shanghai, a large number of vehicles were submerged in water, and the water level rose rapidly, reaching the height of car windows. Another video showed some sections of roads experiencing severe flooding, with elevated bridges becoming "water bridges," as the bridge's barriers were about to be overflowed.
