In the section of Meifeng Branch Road, a reporter from Chinanews.com observed that the water in the section reached a depth of one meter, which had been urgently closed, and many vehicles nearby were flooded.

Heavy precipitation caused serious flooding on many roads in Fuzhou's urban area, and many people were trapped in cars overnight. According to the Fuzhou Traffic Police Detachment, as of 9 o'clock on September 5, temporary traffic control was implemented due to stagnant water at the Degui intersection of Liuyi Road in Gulou District, the section of Meifeng Branch Road, and the undersea branch of South Square Road.

Flooding brought about by heavy precipitation has invaded many residential areas, forcing many Fuzhou citizens to busy "moving cars" in the middle of the night.

The record-breaking rainfall also kept Fuzhou citizens awake at night. Zhang Jiang said frankly that the wind and rain were loud, making people unable to sleep and worried about the seriousness of the disaster.

During the rainstorm, a "Fuzhou Rainstorm Assistance Document" spread on the Internet, and in just a few hours, more than 200 requests for help were received. Some citizens who were stranded on their way home at night left messages on the Internet thanking them for "being 'taken in' by a roadside shop".

In view of secondary disasters such as urban waterlogging caused by continuous heavy rainfall, the Fuzhou Flood Control and Drought Control Headquarters issued an initiative to ensure safety by not going out of the house or cars unless necessary. The Fuzhou Municipal Education Bureau made it clear that on September 9, primary and secondary schools (including secondary vocational schools), kindergartens, and training institutions in Fuzhou will suspend classes and schools for one day.

Early in the morning of the 6th, although there was still water in many places nearby, Zhang Jiang, who had spent a night of horror, went out again to move his car. "Make way for the main roads early and restore order to the roads. I hope that the disaster will not be serious, and everything will be fine if someone is well. ”
