MORE than 10,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes in east China's Jiangxi Province this morning after heavy rainfalls triggered flash floods and overtopping of three reservoirs, flood control authorities said.
The intense rainfall hit the province's northern areas early Wednesday, triggering flash floods and swollen reservoirs.
Water has spilled over dikes at three reservoirs in Poyang County, the provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters said.
Workers are rushing to dig and widen emergency waterways to lower the water levels in the swollen reservoirs.
No casualties have been reported so far, according to the headquarters.
Jiangxi's meteorological department today morning issued a red alert -- the highest level -- warning of the torrential rains.
