China's Floodwaters STILL RISING — 3 More Provinces Hit CRITICAL LEVEL, 80 Million At Risk

In Hengzhou, Guangxi, the Liulan Reservoir dam partially collapsed under Tropical Storm Maysak's rainfall — killing 26 people in a single dam failure, displacing 130,000 across Guangxi alone, bursting 40 rivers, and leaving nine still missing as rescue teams work through mud-submerged streets by inflatable boat. The current death toll across southern and central China has reached at least 39 confirmed dead. Hubei was struck simultaneously by rare tornadoes that killed 11 and injured 331. Hunan's Shimen County recorded 339mm in 24 hours, breaking its own historical record. And Super Typhoon Bavi is now tracking toward the Zhejiang-Fujian coast — arriving before the provinces already hit have stopped counting their dead. China's National Climate Center is projecting up to six July typhoons, nearly double the historical average. The 2026 flood season is the strongest and most widespread since it began. It is July. The season runs through September.
