In Beihai, cars were half underwater in flooded streets and in one multi-storey building, water cascaded down a staircase as firefighters raced to rescue its residents, videos circulating on social media showed. The nearby city of Yulin, west of Guangdong province, had had 35 hours of rain as of 7 a.m. on Friday , CCTV reported.
Rain is forecast to continue in southern China over the coming days while the northeast is expected to be hit by sudden thunderstorms, the weather bureau reported.
