[Explanation] This year's No. 9 typhoon "Lu Bi" brought heavy rain to the coast of Fujian.

Severe waterlogging occurred in many parts of Fuzhou City, and many shops and residential buildings were flooded.

On the afternoon of August 7, the reporter went to visit Minhou County, Fuzhou High-tech Zone and other places.

  [Explanation] Nanyu Town in the Fuzhou High-tech Zone was hit hard by this heavy rain. In the area around Qishan Wanfo Temple, almost all the businesses along the street were soaked by the flood.

When I came here again, the reporter saw that rubbish piled up everywhere on the street, and people were busy cleaning up the debris and sand in the shops and washing household items.

The continuous heavy rainfall caused the water level to rise, which many people did not expect.

  Today, I cleaned up at 7 o'clock in the morning, and there may be one-third of it left uncleaned. The cushion is very high. As soon as the water overflows, it will float up, and it will all be drained.

Yesterday (afternoon) from one to three o’clock, the water was so fast that it rose up all at once, and it was too late to move. I swam out from here. The water was so high that I couldn’t get out.

  I can’t even sweep, but today the water has returned a little bit. I can’t do it before. The water level is still high. I have to move it slowly by myself, and then move it out if the contents are flooded, and then slowly sweep it by myself.

The neighbors next door help out.
