A flood-stranded pregnant woman was about to go into labor when she was rescued from her flooded house on July 12. The woman called her doctor for help after she felt irregular contractions. However, her access to the hospital was cut off by deep floodwaters.

Firefighters, along with a doctor and a nurse, took a rubber dinghy to her home. After examining her, the doctor said she needed to be transferred to the hospital. It took less than an hour for rescuers to move the pregnant woman to the hospital. 

The water level of the Rongjiang River in Rongshui County reached 111.87 meters, 5.27 meters above the warning line.
