The Daily Mail reports on "once in a century" flooding in Guangdong province in Southern China due to storms. More than 110,000 people have been relocated across Guangdong according to Chinese news sources, including more than 45,000 evacuated from the city of Qingyuan. The storm causing the flooding was atypical coming earlier than the normal May or June floods and, of course, dumping much more water.
Chinese history in brief: Drainage pipe fails, precipitating the battle of the Seven Dragons. 20,000,000 killed.
