Recent heavy rains and floods have hit Leshan, Sichuan, and Sichuan has launched first-level flood control. Emergency Response Wutong Bridge issued an emergency evacuation warning. It can be said that the heavy rain this time is very exaggerated. This resulted in serious water accumulation in parts of the city, including the Gaobeimen Old Park Air Raid Shelter, the road closure at the junction of Qingguoshan and Chunhua Road, and other impacts. Why does Sichuan have so much precipitation? It is precisely because of heavy rains and floods and the heavy rainfall in the western part of the basin. ,

At the same time, when moving people in the disaster area, there was water everywhere, which made the transfer more difficult. It can be said that almost half of the car body was submerged. Along with lightning and thunder, violent storms, low-lying areas turned into puddles of water.
