On July 22 at 11 a.m., Henan's provincial meteorological observatory reissued a top-level red alert for heavy rains affecting the cities of Anyang, Hebi, Xinxiang, and Jiaozuo. The intense downpours led to significant flooding, with a CGTN stringer in Xinxiang reporting waist-high water levels near the Affiliated Middle School of Henan Normal University.
The unprecedented rainfall has disrupted daily life, causing road closures and challenging rescue efforts. However, residents can breathe a sigh of relief as the floodwaters have begun to recede, signaling an end to the immediate threat. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely to ensure the safety and recovery of affected communities.
