Days of torrential rain in central China's Hunan Province raised the water level of the Xiangjiang River, a major tributary of Yangtze River, to exceed its record flood level Sunday morning.

The water level in the section of the river in Changsha, capital of Hunan, reached 39.21 meters at 6:30 a.m., above the previous record of 39.18 meters set by a massive flood in 1998.

Already at 3.2 meters above the warning level, the water level is expected to continue to rise as heavy rain is forecast for upstream regions over the next few days.

Meanwhile, the water levels in Dongting Lake and several other major rivers in Hunan have all risen above warning levels, worsening the flood control situation.

Rain started to batter Hunan on June 22 and the ensuing flooding has forced 311,300 people to evacuate, damaged 295,160 hectares of crops and destroyed 6,369 houses, according to the provincial meteorological service.

Rainstorms lashed 832 towns in south and eastern Hunan from Saturday morning to Sunday morning, with Huangtang in Ningyuan County receiving the most precipitation at 264.2 mm within 24 hours.

In neighboring Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, flooding disrupted railway services with 45 trains canceled, returned to origin or detoured.

) we had lived with my wife (we didn't have a kid yet) on a street close to the Moldau River; it was decided to evacuate the street as a precaution (the water didn't rise that high, fortunately) which meant cops came and gave my wife (I was already at work) 30 minutes for packing up and leaving the premises ... I still recall the two of us sitting on a bench later that day, with a blue bag containing all we got !!?? ... despite we were otherwise OK (we then spent several days in my friend's place), this was a terrible feeling which I won't forget

Good Lord! I can't imagine when somebody is directly affected by a flood

Lieutenant General
Why does everyone have a hood? Are they all graduate students getting their post graduate degrees? Undergraduates getting their Bachelor's shouldn't have any hood...
That depends on the Universities as well. I've seen more and more college bachelor graduates are wearing hoods these days.
