Hong
Kong media caused many friends to phone saying "Be
careful....you're in great danger in Zhaoqing....floods & heavy rain
are dangerous in your city". One HK school group even
cancelled tour due to travel by bus to Zhaoqing today, due to stay
one night |
The
situation on the ground / in the water in Zhaoqing:
Yes, HK ferry was cancelled because
river had risen so high.
Yes, a few badly drained roads had some very minor flooding.
Yes, there was some flooding on far side of river.
Yes, road beside river on city side closed to normal traffic
   
But
.....river on city side was still more than 2 metres below bank.
and....99.9% of traffic in city flowed, so to speak, as normal
In first
photo, notice people using umbrellas....for the sunshine!
(Not one drop of rain yesterday....) |
