[Explanation] At 5 o'clock on August 6, this year's No. 9 typhoon "Lu Bi" weakened into a tropical depression, but the power of "Lu Bi" remained undiminished, bringing huge wind and rain to Fujian.
Affected by "Lu Bi", the urban area of Fuzhou continued to be hit by heavy rains, the city suffered serious waterlogging, and the people were besieged by floods.
In the afternoon of the 6th, the reporter drove to Fuzhou to visit several flooded points.
[Explanation] At 4:30 in the afternoon, in the Wisdom Avenue section of the Fuzhou High-tech Zone, the accumulated water here stretches for nearly 100 meters. In the depth of the water, the traffic guardrail only exposed the top, and the accumulated water completely flooded the motorway.
Many vehicles tried to force through, but broke down.
[Concurrent] Mr. Ye, a citizen of Fuzhou
The rescue team rescued me just now, and now my car is parked on it, I call the tow truck over.
(Call the trailer to tow, right?) Tow back.
[Explanation] The rain at the scene is getting heavier, and the water level is gradually rising. The trapped drivers in a shallower place cooperate with each other to push the vehicle out of the stagnant water and wait for rescue.
The traffic police department set up roadblocks at the intersection to order vehicles to make an orderly U-turn and divert.
[Commentary] Leaving the section of Wisdom Avenue, the reporter rushed to Nanyu Town, which was severely affected by the disaster.
The heavy rainfall caused serious water accumulation and a large number of people trapped in Nanyu Town, Fuzhou High-tech Zone.
At 6 pm, the reporter rushed to the vicinity of Qishan Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Multi-party rescue forces including public security, fire protection, and Shuguang rescue teams carried rescue equipment to carry out rescue operations on the scene.

Affected by the torrential rain brought by Typhoon No. 9 this year, there is already a country behind me. There is also a serious waterlogging here. Now the rescue forces from all sides are using kayaks to trap the staff in the shop. , And some of the residents inside have been transferred out for them.
[Explanation] Rescuers introduced that the villages around the Wanfo Temple in Qishan were besieged by floods, with water as high as 2 meters deep, and a large number of people were trapped in their homes.
Due to the large number of elderly and children in the village, the rescuers at the scene were divided into various groups and entered various villages to carry out search and rescue work.
[Concurrent] On-site rescuer Mr. Liu
It’s already deep, and it’s one and a half stories deep, and the deep place is almost reaching the second floor. (Then what’s the plan now?) Let’s go in and evacuate all the personnel first, and we have to persist. Until no one comes out inside, remove the people inside.
[Commentary] The reporter noticed that although the sky is getting dark, many local residents have been reluctant to leave for a long time, and are eagerly waiting for their children to be rescued sooner.
[Simultaneous on-site]
Or I will tell him to the door, from the door to the door, and at the door I will pick him up.
[Explanation] Not far away, the originally wide road is already a vast ocean, and kayaks shuttle back and forth on the water.
People have been moved to safety one after another.
[Concurrent] People rescued
Probably we can already drown one person. Fortunately, these two lifeguards rescued us, but there are still a lot of people inside. Now we have to go in (rescue) one after another, and there are many children and parents.
[Explanation] The reporter learned that on August 7, the rainfall in the whole province of Fujian will gradually weaken, but the rainfall in the central and northern coastal areas will still be strong. The impact of wind and rain caused by "Lu Bi" will not be basically lifted until the 8th.
