Heavy rain in Jinan

On July 8, 2007, at around 0/7 o'clock, Jinan, the provincial capital, and its surrounding areas were hit by a torrential rain. The precipitation process lasted for a short time and the rainfall was heavy. The precipitation started on June 8th 17 and weakened around 20: 30. The maximum precipitation in urban area 1 hour reaches 15 1mm, the maximum precipitation in two hours reaches 167.5mm, and the maximum precipitation in three hours reaches 65438. The flow of Xiaoqing River is more than double that of 1987 on August 26th. Sudden rainstorm caused water accumulation in low-lying areas of the provincial capital, and some areas were affected, resulting in traffic paralysis in most sections and serious loss of personnel and property. According to statistics, more than 30 people were killed and 1.70 people were injured in the rainstorm, and the city's direct economic loss was about 1.32 billion yuan. It has brought great inconvenience to people's production and life. After the rainstorm, Li Jianguo, secretary of the provincial party committee, immediately gave instructions to do a good job in emergency rescue and disaster relief to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. Jiang Daming, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and acting governor, came to quancheng square and Shanshuigou in the rain to check the rain and water conditions in Jinan on the spot and understand the implementation of flood control measures of Jinan municipal government. Jiang Daming asked all levels and departments to attach great importance to flood control work and take all measures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and minimize disaster losses. Yan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of Jinan Municipal Committee, deputy secretary of Jinan Municipal Committee and mayor rushed to the office of Jinan Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters in the rain to direct flood control and disaster relief work. Subsequently, they immediately went to the scene of the accident and directed the rescue and relief work on the spot.

When the rainstorm came, various departments at all levels in Jinan quickly organized rescue and disaster relief. 17: 20 Start the emergency work procedure in the main flood season, and all flood control headquarters enter the emergency state. The heads of flood control departments at all levels all went to the front line to direct drainage rescue and quickly organize the safe transfer of residents in low-lying areas. The traffic police department urgently launched a traffic management plan for bad weather, and sent all traffic police to divert traffic and carry out security work. The Jinan detachment of the Armed Police sent officers and men of the Armed Police Force to the scene of the hardest hit area, and dispatched a number of vehicles and rubber boats to help residents drain water and transfer people.

As of 20: 00 on 18, some sections have resumed normal traffic; Water supply and power supply in most affected areas gradually began to return to normal. 18 in the afternoon, the weather in Jinan is extremely sultry. When heavy rain comes, it is time for people to go home from work.

At about 7 pm, the reporter saw on Luoyuan Street that the whole road was full of motor vehicles. At the intersection of Lishan Road and Luoyuan Street, the traffic lights changed seven times, but the vehicles did not move. Due to the power failure of the tram 102, the east-west road surface was completely blocked. The traffic policeman standing in the middle of the road is very helpless.

At the intersection, the front wheel of a car sank into a big pit washed out by rain, and the rain almost overflowed the hood, and the child sitting in the co-pilot seat cried with fear. The traffic police on duty at the intersection greeted seven or eight people and simply "lifted" the car out of the pit. Suddenly, a rainstorm happened. At the intersection of Lishan Road and Wenhua West Road, the supermarket in RT Mart was overcrowded for a while, and many people went to the store to take shelter from the rain. There are also many people sheltering from the rain under the eaves of a clothing store on the south side of Wenhua West Road. Miss Xu, who just got off work, said that she waited until 7 o'clock in the unit, and the rain had not stopped, so she had to go home in the rain. I can't get on the bus at all, and I don't have an umbrella. I have to go to the roadside shop to shelter from the rain.

"It's no use taking an umbrella in such a heavy rain." Mr. Wang, who sheltered from the rain under the same roof, said. The reporter saw that because of the heavy rain, the umbrella lost its function, and many citizens simply put away their umbrellas and rushed in the rain. A heavy rain turned the road into a river, and a bicycle could be washed away in a fast-flowing place. On the east side of the intersection of Heping Road and Shanshi North Street, an electric car was washed into the middle of the road and finally smashed into a taxi.

Due to the rapid current, many big bricks and stones were swept everywhere by the water. Pedestrians will be hit by stones in the current from time to time when crossing the road. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the flood gradually receded, and people found that suddenly many bricks were scattered all over the floor, and even buckets, slippers, washbasins and other daily necessities. At about 6: 30 in the evening, many passengers were waiting anxiously at the bus stop south of Dongkou Road in Luoyuan Street. A girl waiting for the bus was afraid that the rain would damage her shoes, so she simply took off her shoes and put them in her hand, standing barefoot in the water.

"Wait for a few buses?" The reporter asked an old gentleman waiting for the bus. "Wait a few road? I can't come all the way now! " The old man told reporters that he had been waiting at the station for more than an hour.

A heavy rain generally caused passengers to stay at the bus station in the provincial capital city. Reader Liu said that at Huanggang Bus Terminal, hundreds of passengers waited in the rain for more than an hour without a bus. In the heavy rain of 7 18, I saw people being washed away by water. We were on the bus, and he opened the window and reached out, but he couldn't reach the person washed away by the water. I can only see two people, and there is another one underwater. Two people are walking hand in hand, but they are overturned by the water. Several private cars parked in the middle of the back road stopped them. People around me saw that they were saved by the police.

When the police came to rescue us in the car, we were pushed to the iron shelf and let us jump from the window to the iron shelf. I couldn't help pinching the skirt I was wearing that day. We are in the back. Seeing that I dare not jump, the driver's sister said to let me walk from the door and let the police uncle pull me over. I look very small. Maybe it's because he is not tall. I was picked up by him before I got to the door, that is, the person who has been very kind to me now. He pulled me and put it on my back. Said I would go behind your back. I was completely cheated at that time. I feel that the water is chasing people, and I can't see what is going on at all.

I have been carrying me on my back that day, going where we are going. I was carried on my back on the way, and the bag I was carrying was accidentally dropped and washed away by the water. He quickly pulled me aside to find my bag. The water that day should be around a person's knees. Anyway, if I stand in the water like this for a while, I will feel washed away. Luckily, I brought a good bag that day. There is no water in the paper.

The harm caused by heavy rain is great, not to mention heavy rain. We should learn from history.
