Torrential Rain in Shanghai Turns the Global City Into a Vast Ocean, Instantly a Maritime City

On the afternoon of August 18, Shanghai was suddenly hit by strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning, causing the sky to darken rapidly. Fierce winds blew, and torrential rain poured down. A Chinese citizen remarked that Shanghai truly lives up to its nickname as the "Devil City." A video showed a tent at an exhibition being blown down by the strong winds, and panicked people were seen fleeing in all directions.

To have such severe flooding after only 50mm of rain shows that the government has failed its responsibilities of urban safety and rainwater management. Those responsible need to be replaced.

If the highway is acting like a bathtub then you've built it completely wrong. there should be drainage all over that span. Just you watch, next few months or even a year from know we'll hear about that span falling down due to the damage this water is causing

The CCP are pleased to announce that they have solved the problem of drought...

I swear it's almost like China is at or below sea level. The amount of flooding I've seen happening in China is ridiculous.

How does "rainwater" backflow into the toilet?

There isnt a separate storm / sanitary sewer system? That's some real 3rd world plumbing right there.

Shànghǎi, which is written as 上海 in Chinese characters. This name means "On-the-Sea"

All the people should grab the operators of the dams that release waters in a storm and bring them downstream to endure the dangers and horrible consequences people have to endure because of them opening the dams

[sbdreamin]

This happens every year in China and I always wonder if the flooded areas from last year were ever able to recover.

[zenon]

What struck me about all this reports is that in none of these videos was there even a single rescue effort...no boats...no helicopters...no fire department...no nothing...just carnage and chaos.

…maybe don’t dam up all the rivers and destroy natural drainage infrastructure? 🧐

Save the children and animals first...the them.
