Over 8,000 evacuated in Hubei
MORE than 8,000 residents were evacuated after a dike breached early morning yesterday in central China’s Hubei Province.
The breach had widened to about 70 meters long as of 7pm after the dike in Huangmei County collapsed around 3am, local officials said.
The rising flood waters affected 670 hectares of arable land in eight villages, forcing 8,400 residents to be relocated.
Over 700 soldiers and 200 sets of equipment from neighboring three cities have been dispatched to close the breach overnight.
Another dike in provincial capital Wuhan was also breached, causing substantial flooding and resulting in the relocation of around 200 residents.
