A persistent downpour which started on Friday 19 April has flooded various cities in southern China.

In Shaoguan City, Guangdong province in southern China, heavy rainfall over the weekend has left urban and rural areas under water, blocking highways and disrupting traffic.

Rescuers were deployed to evacuate residents with boats, footage from Chinese state media CCTV showed.

Low-lying areas of Qingyuan and Zhaoqing, also in the Guangdong province, were deluged with rain.

No casualties have been reported yet.

The rainfall is expected to persist until Monday in some areas.

The Watchman River channel`s newest vid brought me here. I pray not just for the physical and mental well being of the people in China, but also for their salvation(s)too.
