Heavy rains wreaked havoc on the surrounding areas of Chongqing on Tuesday morning, leaving a trail of damage.

According to Jiangjin District, heavy rain started to hit their area at 8 a.m. yesterday, and the accumulated precipitation in many areas of the district reached over 206mm.

The district said that the rainfall was so heavy and sudden that many low-lying areas were flooded and they were subsequently closed to traffic with warning signs.

Many drivers asked for help after being trapped on flooded roads, but no one was injured.

It’s reported that the front will hover over the city until June 7, so all areas have to be alert to heavy rain for the rest of the week.(CQNEWS)
