Horrifying video of massive flash flooding in Guangxi, China as a result of Tropical Storm Maysak.

This system was merely a fraction of Super Typhoon Bavi’s strength and yet has inflicted far greater damage in comparison. A scary situation that has kind of flown under the radar.

Rescue teams in southern China launched door-to-door evacuations after severe flooding submerged homes and villages in Guangxi, following the arrival of Tropical Storm Maysak.

Floodwaters reached up to 1.6 metres in some areas.

Footage shows armed police navigating chest-deep floodwaters in inflatable boats, rescuing residents trapped inside their homes and carrying them to safety.

This is wild. It appears that the moist remnants of Tropical Storm Maysak, after drenching Guangxi in mass flooding, went on to at least partially fuel the supercells that spawned a violent tornado in the uban river city of Huanggang, China several hours ago.

Translated from Spanish
🌪️ A large tornado struck the Huanggang and Ezhou areas in China's Hubei Province during severe storms associated with the remnants of Typhoon 'Maysak'.

Videos circulating on social media show the vast condensation funnel moving over densely populated urban zones.

Although unconfirmed reports are circulating indicating at least two deaths and hundreds injured, local authorities have yet to issue official figures on casualties.

Available images show widespread damage in central Huanggang, with hotels, hospitals, schools, and other buildings affected, collapsed roofs, fallen facades, and streets covered in debris.

July 4 Landfall



Backpirch Weather

Jul 4
🇻🇳LANDFALL: At the very last second, Tropical Storm Maysak has abruptly intensified while making landfall near the Vietnam-China border from the Gulf of Tonkin. The storm’s radar signature went from complete slop to an organized and well-defined eyewall structure in less than 3 hours, and it’s possible Maysak unexpectedly reached the intensity of a low-end Category 1 Typhoon just as the center crossed shore.

Strong winds and very heavy rainfall are now moving deeper into Guangxi Province.

A flood in China that caused a dam to collapse led to the escape of approximately 900 snakes from a submerged farm.

An "emergency" was declared in Dengwei village, which was swarmed by the snakes, including deadly cobras.

In southern China, torrential floods triggered by Typhoon Maysak caused a breach in the “Liulan Dam” in Hengzhou (Guangxi). This collapsed the barriers of a local snake-breeding farm, allowing around 900 snakes, including venomous cobras, to escape into flooded residential areas.

Hello Guangxi

Stand Together Through the Storm: This video honors everyone fighting Typhoon Maysak #Maysak #HeavyRainstorm #AI assisted Music Creation In recent days, Qinzhou has been gripped by grave flood risks brought by Typhoon Maysak, the year's 10th typhoon. Record-breaking rainfall, rivers exceeding safety warning levels, widespread urban and rural flooding have forced the emergency relocation of more than 30,000 locals.The first typhoon landing in China this year, Maysak caused disproportionate catastrophic damage. It made landfall twice in Hainan and Vietnam's Quang Ninh Province, then swept through Guangxi and inflicted unprecedented destruction on Qinzhou. Its overall impact was far beyond initial forecasts.

"Having been here for a few days, I finally had a hot meal." On the front line of flood rescue in Guigang, rescue teams from all over the country are working busily day and night. To ensure these heroes moving against the current can have a hot meal, a catering enterprise from Yulin made a special trip here, setting up stoves at the temporary collection and distribution center for relief materials at the Guigang Museum to prepare hot food for everyone. A meal may seem ordinary, but it is a warm response amidst the storms.

The team, China Anneng, was transformed from the armed police hydropower troops and is now a national-level emergency rescue force👍🏻

At least 12,000 students and faculty members trapped in flood-hit buildings in Guigang, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, had been evacuated by Thursday with the help of emergency powered pontoon bridges.

Torrential rains triggered by Typhoon Maysak have caused severe flooding in parts of the city since Monday.

Each pontoon bridge has a load capacity of more than 60 tons and can transport up to 500 people in a single trip. Originally designed for military operations, the bridges can also be rapidly deployed for emergency rescue and disaster relief.

#Huanggang Tornado Causes Multiple Casualties and Missing Persons# #Man's Parents Killed After Being Swept Up to 100 Meters in the Air#

This morning's on-site situation in the affected areas along the river in Huanggang's Huangzhou District aligns closely with the tornado's characteristic narrow-band, concentrated, yet intensely destructive impact.

In addition to the tornado that crossed the Yangtze River last night and severely affected the urban areas of Ezhou-Huanggang, there was another tornado earlier in the afternoon that significantly impacted Daye. Yesterday's outbreak of tornadoes in Hubei was triggered by the super single-cell supercell formed from the intense interaction between the low-level strong warm and moist airflow introduced by Maysak and the high-altitude dry and cold air mass brought by the southward-moving upper-level cold vortex; however, a wedge-shaped tornado of this intensity directly striking urban areas remains quite rare.

Meanwhile, as the remnant circulation of Typhoon Maysak continues to move northward, the low-level warm and moist airflow it brings has now reached central Anhui and northern Jiangsu. From now until the first half of the night, central Anhui and northern Jiangsu are also expected to experience severe convective weather, including thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail.
