The heavy precipitation mainly concentrated on the 29th to 30th, and the heavy precipitation areas were mainly distributed in the central and eastern counties such as Huaibin, Gushi, Shangcheng, Xinxian and Huangchuan. The cumulative precipitation in the process is 50-90 mm, the local single station 120-200 mm, and the maximum hourly rainfall intensity is 50-80 mm.

First of all, it caused serious damage to industrial and agricultural production. Farmland was flooded, greenhouses were destroyed, and agricultural losses were heavy. Secondly, the traffic has also been greatly affected, such as the cancellation of flights, the suspension of railways and the closure of roads, which have brought great inconvenience to people's travel. In addition, the closure of schools and shops has greatly affected people's lives.

In order to cope with the impact of Typhoon Du Surui, the government and relevant institutions have taken various measures. Early warning and information transmission have been strengthened to remind people to do a good job in disaster prevention and mitigation. At the same time, organize a rescue team to rush to the disaster area for rescue. All walks of life also responded positively, donating money and materials to support the reconstruction of the disaster area.
