Chinese websites say it's 37 people. Probably thousands of people also lost their cars, while some who have ground floor apartments were probably flooded.

 

It was really, really terrible. I just stayed inside. It was like that scene from Forest Gump in Vietnam where it's raining. Crazy crazy.

 

150mm of rain on AVERAGE.

yeah read the same around 37 but sure many more were lost in the storms. Just was crazy the next day blue sky and no signs of damage. Good work must go out to the health and safety teams for cleaning up the mess.

I usually follow the weather, but for some reason this week I did not do so.  Thanks to Brisguy's warning I was able to load up on some stuff, so I spent a comfortable time watching the rain and moives.  I stayed home as  i remember last years storm and how a couple of workers were sucked down a manhole and drowned.

Yet as of yesterday afternoon, not a clue was left of the storm.

Read something interesting: someone said you can tell how the wealth distribution is in Beijing by looking at which streets got flooded and which didn't.

GuilinRaf:

I think that is true just about everywhere. It definitely is the case in San Juan, PR where I come from.

They SAY 37, but my wife says it's more because after like 40 deaths or something in a disaster officials have to be fired.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
