The floods caused great material losses to the countries that hit them, including China, and threaten the lives of many, especially those who happen to be in their path.
Powerful flood waters destroy homes, collapse roads and inundate cars, while people are hard to rescue if swept away by strong currents, in China.

A video clip published by the Chinese newspaper “South China Morning Post” shows the defining moments in which a person managed to save another, a few seconds before he fell into the flood waters.
The video clip shows a person stuck on a motorcycle at the edge of a flood stream in China, resisting the pull of water.
According to the video, another person pulled the man, moments before his bike fell completely into the water, which pulled it away, while its rider was rescued and pulled away from the edge of the flood.
