What is the serious waterlogging in urban areas with heavy rainfall in Jiangxi?

On the night of May 3rd1,a new round of heavy rainfall began in southern China. The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning of strong convective weather and heavy rain at 6: 00 this morning. It is estimated that there will be heavy rain in parts of Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Yunnan and Taiwan Province provinces at 8 am tomorrow, and there will be heavy rain locally.

Affected by heavy rainfall, many urban areas in Jiangxi are seriously waterlogged and citizens' travel is blocked. At the same time, rainfall and accumulated water have also caused many crops to be affected.

Yesterday (1) afternoon 1: 30, there was a general rainstorm in Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province. Due to heavy rainfall, the water in low-lying sections is serious. Ji 'an Xin 'gan and Jishui also suffered heavy rain raids, and some sections of the county were seriously waterlogged.

Heavy rainfall also caused a serious flood in a culvert in Xinyu. An electric rescue vehicle was flooded and three people were trapped inside. Fortunately, the traffic police rushed to the scene in time and contacted rescue vehicles to rescue the trapped vehicles and personnel.

In addition to serious waterlogging in many urban areas, heavy rain also caused water accumulation in a watermelon planting base in Poyang County, Shangrao. It is estimated that 230 mu of watermelon will lose about 80%. After the disaster, the local government used irrigation and drainage equipment to continuously discharge water into the outer river, trying to minimize the loss.

44 counties focus on preventing geological disasters of rainstorm.

According to the monitoring of Jiangxi Provincial Defense General, as of noon yesterday (1), there were 44 counties in Jiangxi Province with heavy rain, and the maximum accumulated rainfall occurred in Yiyang County, Shangrao City, reaching141mm.

According to the analysis of experts from the flood control department, due to the lack of precipitation in Jiangxi in the early stage, the water level of each reservoir is low at present, and it is unlikely that this round of heavy rainfall will cause basin floods, but mountain torrents and geological disasters are still the focus of prevention in various places.
