The year of 2008 seems to be a disastrous year for China. Natural disasters hit China one after another. Snow disaster, earthquake and flood invaded China. A heavy rainstorm hit Chongqing yesterday because of strong convection. The city’s transportation was largely affected by the storm.

A community in the south of Chongqing became a "flood discharge area".

While the rain was heavy in the morning, the north side of town was not so bad and it was all over by lunchtime. I had no idea Nanbin Lu could flood like that. Nowhere near as bad as last summer when it rained non-stop for 24 hours.

Some storm water drains around Jiangbei overflowed dumping some pretty nasty looking stuff around the streets. My classroom ceiling sprung a leak in two places and we collected quite a lot of water in just a few minute in the buckets and basins we put out to collect it.
