China: Fierce Storm Topples Trees In Ya’an, Sichuan Province

On September 2, 2024, in Ya'an, a city in Sichuan Province in southwestern China, a video captured a severe storm with strong winds and heavy rain.

The wind was so powerful that trees were swaying violently, with small debris flying everywhere, creating a hazardous and frightening scene. The filmer described how he was driving down the road when he happened to encounter strong convective weather. The violent gusts of wind lasted for twenty minutes, and leaves were flying all over the place. He had to get out of his car and cut down the fallen trees blocking the road before he could pass.

Lhasa-Xigaze Highway Opening - China

An aerial drone photo taken on June 27, 2024 shows a view of a high-grade highway linking Lhasa and Xigaze in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. A high-grade highway linking the two largest cities in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region officially opened to traffic Sunday June 30, 2024 cutting travel time between the cities in half, said the regional transport department. The highway, linking the regional capital Lhasa and Xigaze, the region's second-largest city, stretches 245 km.
