The Three Gorges Dam in China has released water from 754 reservoirs, leading to severe flooding across Hubei Province. With current inflow rates around 50,000 cubic meters per second and outflow rates exceeding 30,000 cubic meters per second, the dam is under immense pressure. Heavy rain has continued to fall across northwest Hubei, with the National Station recording an unprecedented 253 mm of rain by 4 PM, marking the heaviest rainstorm in the region's history.
The urgent decision to release water was made to prevent the dam from overflowing after relentless rainfall pushed water levels to critical limits. However, this has resulted in severe flooding, leaving communities submerged and residents scrambling for safety. Streets have turned into rivers, homes and businesses are underwater, and transportation has come to a standstill.
The situation remains dire as water levels continue to rise in many parts of Hubei. Authorities have issued evacuation orders and are urging people to move to higher ground. The province is grappling with the aftermath of this unprecedented natural disaster, as millions of tons of floodwater inundate cities, towns, and villages, causing widespread devastation.
