South China's Shenzhen experienced catastrophic flooding on August 5th after record-breaking rainfall—surpassing 2018's Typhoon Mangkhut—prompting emergency responses. While no casualties were reported, districts like Longgang and Pingshan faced severe flooding, with workers trapped in factories. Firefighters carried out 62 flood-related rescues, evacuating over 150 people from submerged industrial areas. Authorities advise citizens to stay away from flooded zones due to risks of electrocution and debris, as the city remains on orange alert.
