Rescuers are searching for people reported missing after severe storms hit southern and central China this week, forcing about 100,000 residents to flee, according to reports from multiple outlets. The extreme weather has caused widespread disruption across affected provinces, prompting evacuations and emergency response operations. Forecasters warn that additional dangerous conditions are expected, including a super typhoon anticipated to move toward China’s eastern provinces over the weekend. Emergency services and rescue teams are focusing on locating missing individuals and assessing damage in areas affected by the storms, which have brought strong winds, heavy rainfall, and hazardous conditions. The situation remains fluid as authorities monitor the typhoon’s track and prepare for further impacts in the coming days. The reports present the flooding and storm damage as part of a broader bout of extreme weather affecting multiple regions across the south and centre of the country before the next system approaches the east.
