At least 21 people are missing after a landslide in souther China caused by relentless rain buried dozens of apartments in Shauanghe.
Rescuers have been searching for the missing people as more than 4,000 were evacuated from their homes on Tuesday.
Flooding in the area has already caused the deaths of at least 823 people this year, keeping the flooding disaster in the Google trends and a big topic on the web for months.
MSNBC reports that at least a dozen major rivers had risen beyond their warning levels, with workers scrambling to sandbag riverbanks along the Yellow, Jialing, Han, Huai and Yangtze rivers to prevent further flooding.
At last report, rocks and mud from the landslide buried 58 homes in Hanyuan County in China's southern province of Sichuan. Rain is expected to continue
