How serious is the flood in Chongqing after Chongqing Rail Line 2 became a water train?

Due to the increase of precipitation, many roads in Chongqing were flooded and the water level of rivers rose. No.2 flood occurred in Jialing River basin of Chongqing, and No.5 flood occurred in Yangtze River basin. 18, Chongqing upgraded flood control level II emergency response to level I, and immediately entered the emergency flood control period. Monorail Line 2, which was originally a scenic spot among network celebrities, attracted the attention of netizens. Due to the rising flood, the section under the light rail has been flooded. Looking at the light rail in the distance, it is like a cruise ship on board, as if driving on the water. Many people who took the light rail took photos and posted them on the Internet to record the scene of flood spread.

From the light rail of Line 2 to the water cruise ship, we can realize how serious the disaster in Chongqing is. From August 14, Chongqing changed from the third-level response to the second-level response and then to the first-level response, all of which entered the emergency flood control stage. At 8: 00 15 on August 20th, the highest flood peak water level appeared at Cuntan Station of the Yangtze River 1939 since the station was established. 19 1.62m! Many streets in Linjiang were flooded, and many hydrological stations, such as Ciqikou, Caiyuanba, Chaotianmen and Cuntan in the main city of Chongqing, successively appeared flood peak water levels.

The government has done an excellent job in transferring the masses. All the 250,000 people affected by the disaster have been successfully transferred without any casualties. However, many ordinary people have a good chance to see the sea. The Qianshimen Bridge, Dongshuimen Bridge, Jiangbei Grand Theatre and Chaotianmen Square in the main city of Chongqing have all become the choices for people to watch the flood.

This flood is so serious, mainly because of the recent large-scale continuous heavy rainfall in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, resulting in a large flood peak. There was also a flood peak in the last round of the crossing of the two rivers, and the water level has not retreated. The two flood peaks are superimposed before and after.

In this flood, many touching stories happened. A Chongqing rescuer rescued a sleeping baby with a washbasin, which brought a lot of emotion to everyone.
