The
heaviest rain to hit Beijing in six decades killed at least 10 people and left
cars and buses submerged, and 10 other storm deaths were reported elsewhere as
China braced Sunday for more downpours.
The rain
Saturday night knocked down trees in Beijing and trapped cars and buses in
waist-deep water in
some areas.
In Tongzhou district on the capital's eastern outskirts, two people were killed
by collapsed roofs, one person was fatally struck by lightning and a fourth was
electrocuted by a fallen power line as he helped neighbors escape, the
government's Xinhua News Agency said.
