Sinkholes are occurring across China amid heavy rains and floods

Reviews of weather events, natural disasters, astronomical phenomena and wildlife around the world China’s unprecedented rainy and flooding season is at its peak and gaining momentum. Incredible levels of precipitation are being recorded by meteorologists in many cities and regions of the country. Storm drains are unable to cope with the huge flows of raging water. Against this background, cases of soil erosion around underground communications have become more frequent, which leads to the formation of cracks and sinkholes in the streets of Chinese cities. Some of these cases or their consequences are recorded by outdoor surveillance cameras and eyewitness footage. The latest such incident occurred yesterday in the city of Yuanping, Shanxi Province. As a result of the formation of a sinkhole, several cars and growing trees fell into the ground. Weather forecasts for the near future predict continued heavy rainfall in most of China, which means that cases of sinkholes will occur more often. #China #flood #sinkhole
