Flooding from Tropical Storm Maysak kills 39 in southern China

Tropical Storm Maysak has caused severe flooding in southern China's Guangxi region, resulting in 39 deaths. The city of Nanning was particularly hard-hit, with 26 fatalities attributed to a dam breach at the Liulan Reservoir. Record rainfall led to reservoirs overflowing, inundating towns and cities. Approximately 130,000 people have been evacuated, and a large-scale rescue operation involving thousands of personnel and boats is underway. While floodwaters are receding, more rain is anticipated in some areas. Efforts are ongoing to clear debris, restore electricity, and repair roads in affected regions like Hengzhou city.

Tropical Storm Maysak has caused severe flooding in southern China, resulting in 39 deaths and nine people missing. The majority of fatalities, 26, occurred due to a dam breach near Nanning in the Guangxi region. Record rainfall from Maysak led to reservoir breaches, trapping residents for days. A large-scale rescue operation involving drones and thousands of boats has evacuated approximately 130,000 people. While floodwaters are receding, authorities are continuing relief efforts, including clearing debris and restoring utilities.

Typhoon Maysak has caused significant damage in southern China, resulting in two fatalities in Nanning, Guangxi province. The storm triggered extreme flooding, forcing the evacuation of approximately 48,000 people in Nanning, where at least three reservoirs breached their barriers. Authorities raised the flood control emergency response to its highest level due to heavy rainfall. Maysak previously impacted Vietnam and China's Hainan province over the weekend. Meteorologists predict continued heavy rainfall across Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan in the coming days. China is also preparing for Super Typhoon Bavi, which is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain to eastern China later in the week.

Typhoon Maysak's passage caused rivers to swell in Heng County, Nanning. This swelling led to the reservoir wall in the area breaking. The article states that the reservoir wall broke as a direct result of the increased river levels. No further details regarding casualties or the extent of the flooding are provided in the article content.
