The storm lasted for six hours.

I have been with my father for more than half a month. After my father was diagnosed, I sent him back to Yang for follow-up treatment. Settle down at home and watch the weather forecast. There will be a series of heavy rains in the next few days, so I want to return to Los Angeles as soon as possible to avoid too long delay.

There used to be a shuttle bus from Yangcheng to Luoyang every day, but I don't know why it was cancelled after the opening of Yangji Expressway. Facing an hour's drive home, I had to transfer from Jincheng, and it took more than three hours for both the bus and the high-speed train.

There was also heavy rainfall in Yangcheng before. Many people were trapped in Manghe Scenic Area, and mudslides occurred in many places. People in nearby villages have moved away. However, when I returned to Yang Yang and Luoyang, it was a thing of the past. Although the rain continues, it has obviously weakened. According to the rainstorm warning, it is only guilt at most. So is the weather forecast on the way home. Cars with less than seven high-speed seats can still pass, indicating that the heavy rain has not had a great impact on the traffic along Taihang Mountain. Like most people, I didn't pay attention to the rainstorm warning and didn't fully estimate the subsequent impact. Subconsciously, I think that as long as there are no accidents during May Day, the high-speed rail is still the safest and most punctual means of transportation, so I just want to get home as soon as possible. I didn't choose the bus from Jincheng to Luoyang, but chose to take the high-speed train to bypass Zhengzhou and return to Luoyang, plan my trip and buy all the tickets one day in advance. Facts have also proved that only this road can pass. 19 On the same day, it was learned that due to the rain, all long-distance buses from Jincheng to various places had been stopped.

/kloc-it has been raining all the morning, and the high-speed commuter train booked in advance was stopped because Jinyang Expressway restricted the passage of more than seven vehicles. At about eleven o'clock, it rained a little less. Call the passenger station, all long-distance passenger vehicles are still out of service, only chartered cars and carpooling. At that time, I didn't realize the seriousness of the rain, so I carpooled to Jincheng high-speed railway station at noon 1 p.m. 10. Less than ten minutes after the departure, it began to rain heavily, and the wiper blew at the fastest speed, but the line of sight was still not clear. The driver's eldest brother is an old driver who has been running on this line for more than ten years. He knows the road like the back of his hand and humorously dispels the tension in the car while driving smoothly. On the way, we can see that the protective nets on both sides of some sections have fallen off under the impact of soil and water, and some low-lying sections have flooded the road. It is not clear how deep the water is, and the expressway along the line has been completely closed. We think it was in the last few minutes that we got on the highway. We used to walk for an hour and a half, and it's already 2: 45 today in high-speed railway station.

The first scheduled stop is to leave for Zhengzhou at 3: 28 pm. Because the departure time is still early, I thought I could take the bus after a rest in the waiting room, but when I entered the station lobby, I saw a large piece of late information. The big screen of the station is red, and the high-speed trains in Taiyuan and Changzhi hardly leave on time. The D3353 I took was late 1 hour 55 minutes, and the G2389 I transferred to in Zhengzhou was equipped at 5: 06 pm, which means I haven't taken this bus yet, and the next train has already left.

The information desk was crowded with anxious passengers. My travel plan is to change trains at Zhengzhou station, but there are not many trains to Zhengzhou. As can be seen from the big screen of the station, the G7875 train that arrived in Zhengzhou at 2: 00/2 pm was 55 minutes late, and the estimated departure time was 3: 09 pm. In other words, if I transfer to this train, I can still arrive in Zhengzhou as scheduled and transfer to the next train smoothly. However, the departure time of G7875 has passed, and it is impossible to change it on the mobile phone. The staff suggested trying the ticket center. The previous experience of high-speed rail being delayed was May this year 1 day. The high-speed rail line was interrupted by strong winds in Hebei province, and vehicles from north to south were delayed. Because the ticket was tight during May Day, Zhengzhou Ticketing Center replied that it was not feasible for me to refund the ticket or wait, so I stayed in Zhengzhou for eight hours. With my last experience, I don't have much hope for this change. At the same time, I have inquired about the train information from Zhengzhou to Luoyang after seven o'clock for backup.

Unexpectedly, you can change your visa! The lady in the ticket center told me in a hoarse voice after finishing the change procedure, pay attention to the time on the big screen of the station, and don't miss it. With infinite gratitude, I said thank you to my little sister, went straight to the waiting room, announced that G7875 began to check in, got on the bus smoothly and took a seat. At about 3: 00 12, the vehicle left Jincheng East Station. My brother called to ask about the situation. After a short notice, he leaned back and rested, thinking that he would arrive in Zhengzhou in fifty-four minutes and get home before six o'clock in the evening, and his mood was slightly relaxed. Looking out of the window, it was still raining, and the rain on the glass merged into a line and then flowed down. Soon the vehicle entered the tunnel and drove forward in the hinterland of Taihang. The window was dark, and the screen at the front of the carriage only mentioned epidemic prevention safety information, and the speed of the train was no longer displayed, but it was obviously very slow. An old woman next to her said that she would arrive in Jiaozuo soon, and she would get off at Jiaozuo. According to the normal speed, the train will arrive in Jiaozuo in 24 minutes. When grandma said this, I looked at my watch. It's already 3: 48 pm, and 36 minutes have passed. The train is still running in the tunnel. From Baidu map, it's just over half the distance. At this speed, it takes at least two hours to get to Zhengzhou, so you will definitely miss the transfer. So I quickly checked the train information again, and changed the transfer train in Zhengzhou to G7947 through 12306, leaving at 5: 55 pm, so as to have enough transfer time.

Finally arrived at Zhengzhou station around 5: 20, rushing to transfer. The station is orderly and everything is as usual. The station lobby shows that most vehicles are expected to arrive on time and some trains are delayed. My train was late, but I didn't tell you the time. Check-in started around six o'clock, five minutes later than the expected departure time, and about ten minutes later when we arrived in Luoyang. Walking out of Luoyang Station around 7 pm, there are a few drops of light rain scattered in Luoyang sky, the air is fresh and pleasant, and there is no water on the road. After six hours, I finally got home after many twists and turns.

Later, I learned from the news that from July 8, 2026 to July 2, 2026, the precipitation in Zhengzhou, Dengfeng, Xinmi, Xingyang and Gongyi reached the extreme value since meteorological records were recorded, and Zhengzhou was suffering from a once-in-a-thousand torrential rain, from 20: 00 on June 17 to 20: 00 on the 20th. On the day of 19, Zhengzhou has changed from waterlogging to waterlogging, and serious mudslides and landslides have occurred in Dengfeng and Zhongmu. From July 20th 17: 00, Zhengzhou Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters upgraded the secondary response to the first level. Many high-speed trains stopped or turned back, and some trains were trapped for dozens of hours without food and water; Several communities were cut off from water and electricity, subway station services were suspended, and hotels were full; Many people are trapped in isolated islands such as stations, subways, streets and villages, and their lives are seriously threatened, and property losses are countless.

Looking back, overnight, this city with a population of10 million became the hardest hit, only to realize that it was so close to disaster. The journey was thrilling everywhere, but I finally got home safely. I want to thank my brother Yangcheng. Com, who is skilled in driving, my sister, who is flexible and serious at the ticket window of Jincheng East Station, and the staff of various railway departments. We should pray for the people who are still waiting for rescue in the flood, praise the heroes who went to the rescue line, and praise the ordinary people who lend a helping hand. At the same time, it strongly condemns some celebrities who use disasters to sneer at Henan, and some businesses who use disasters for marketing.
