The imminent typhoons have caused rivers and reservoirs to overflow their banks, causing deadly floods in central China. A new typhoon hit the province, bringing even more rain to the country. According to media reports, Zhengzhou, the capital of the province, received a month's worth of rainfall in three days due to the downpour. Then the storm moved to the north and in two hours, 30 centimeters of rain fell on the city of Xinxiang. The region's network of rivers and reservoirs burst their banks, and floodwaters inundated transportation infrastructure and buildings, trapping nearly a million people. Forecasters are currently monitoring the development of a tropical cyclone.
