What happened to Mentougou in Beijing?

The flood caused by this rainstorm caused a terrible scene in Mentougou area. Some basements were poured backwards, and vehicles were washed away, which brought great disaster to residents and traffic.

The rainstorm lasted for a long time and the rainfall was extremely strong. A large amount of rainwater in Mentougou area quickly accumulates, overflows the river bank and spreads to low-lying areas.

Residents were awakened by the sudden disaster at night and moved to safer places, hoping to avoid greater losses.

In addition, a large number of vehicles were washed away. As the accumulated water rose too fast, the streets were flooded instantly, and many vehicles could not be evacuated in time and were washed away by the flood.
