A dike has broken in Lujiang County, one of the worst-hit areas by flooding in East China's Anhui Province. A three-meter gap first appeared in the dam, and over four hours, it expanded to 50 meters. Five excavators working on trying and blocking off the breach have been washed away. A relief operation is underway, with local authorities evacuating residents from near the lake that has formed and downstream areas.
