According to the Beihai City Traffic Police Detachment, due to the influence of the weather, the visibility of the road in the early morning is low, and the waterlogging is serious. In addition, the power outage signal lights at certain intersections cannot be used normally, which “adds congestion” to the road traffic that is already affected by heavy rain.
In order to maintain the safety and smooth flow of road traffic, the police went on the road in the rain and directed traffic at various intersections.
According to the Beihai City Fire Rescue Detachment, a police situation of trapped vehicles and personnel appeared in many low-lying sections of the urban area that morning, and rescuers rescued 7 trapped personnel.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, a wall near the Yima Primary School on Xin Century Avenue in Beihai City was washed down by stagnant water, causing a billboard on the wall to fall and hit a middle school student passing by with his leg under the billboard.
After the firefighters went out of the police, they used the expander to expand the bottom of the billboard, successfully propped up the billboard, rescued the trapped middle school students, and moved to a safe area.
