floodwaters

Torrential rain triggered severe flooding across parts of eastern China, rushing down streets and sweeping away vehicles. One weather station recorded more than half a metre of rain as authorities raised the emergency response to the highest level.

Footage shows a house surrounded by raging floodwaters at the Nepal-Tibet border, with people trapped on rooftops and balconies. Authorities say at least 675 people have been killed and nearly 2,500 remain missing.
