27,000 people were evacuated from flood-prone areas as heavy rainfall triggered by Typhoon Doksuri — the fifth typhoon of this year — lashed Beijing and its surrounding regions, including Tianjin and Hebei province, on Sunday.
The deadly storm, which first careened into southern China's Fujian province on Friday and then swept through the country's northeastern belt, prompted high-level emergency responses against potentially hazardous conditions including flooding and landslides.
The National Meteorological Center renewed a red alert for northern China at 6 pm on Sunday. The red alert is the country's highest level of warning for rainstorms. This is the second time a red alert has been issued since the warning mechanism was put in place in 2010.
