China: Qipanshan Town Submerged as Powerful Flood Strikes Hebei

This is the dangerous moment that a once-in-a-century flood overwhelmed Qipanshan Town, as a torrent of water raced through the streets. On June 12, 2025, in Chengde, Hebei, the video showcased the staggering volume of floodwater rushed through the township during heavy rains. A torrent surging down a main thoroughfare, submerging roads and smashing against guardrails. The swift current carried away small objects, while the water level rose dangerously close to ground-floor windows and storefronts.

China: Car Seen Floating Through Flooded Streets During Heavy Rain in Dalian

This is the dramatic moment a small car was seen moving through floodwaters during a short but intense rainstorm, appearing almost like a makeshift boat. On June 9, 2025, in Dalian, Liaoning Province, video footage captured torrential rain battering the streets and causing significant flooding. The car was seen navigating or drifting through a strong current, bobbing in the rising water as shocked onlookers looked on. The water level had risen so high that the tires were no longer visible, making it unclear whether the vehicle was being carried by the water or attempting to drive through it. The video ends with the car continuing to move downstream, gradually disappearing from view as the heavy rain continues to fall.

China: Nujiang River Rages in Yunnan, Torrents Sweep Through Area

This is the dangerous moment that the Nujiang River turned into a raging torrent, triggering a powerful flash flood after days of relentless rainfall. On May 31, 2025, in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, the video showed the Nujiang River surging with muddy, turbulent water. Fueled by continuous heavy rain and intensified by orographic lift, the river’s water level rose sharply, unleashing a devastating mountain flood. Water tore through the region with alarming force, visibly inundating the riverbanks and sweeping away debris in its path. According to preliminary data, rainfall across the Nujiang River basin exceeded historical averages by more than four times. Along the Dulong River in particular, rainfall over a three-day span surpassed 300 millimeters, with some areas experiencing over 100 millimeters of downpour in just a short period. The severe flooding damaged roads, farmland, and communication infrastructure, effectively cutting off transportation to several villages. The video ended with torrents of floodwater continuing to rush downstream, leaving behind a landscape of destruction.
