On the evening of July 11, the water level of the turbid river was still rising on the Changjiangwei dyke on the outskirts of Poyang County, Jiangxi Province, and was gradually leveling with the dyke that was raised only during the day.
The water level of the Raohe Poyang Station exceeded the historical extreme value of 22.61m in 1998, 16 hours earlier than predicted.
The flood control staff kept on patrolling and found a dangerous situation. The armed police officers and soldiers who had just rotated to the embankment rushed to the embankment to fill the plug. The atmosphere at the scene was very tense.
There are several villages under the embankment with a drop of several meters. Near 22 o'clock at night, there are still many villagers who are worried about the flooding of their homes. (Editor Jiang Shiliu Zhankun Liu Lixin Guo Shihao)
