DISASTER!!!! FLOODS IN CHINA, VIETNAM AND BANGLADESH. MANY DIED AND MANY MORE DISPLACED. PIN!

Days of torrential rains in southern and central China have forced more than 300,000 people to flee their homes, the state-run Xinhua news agency says.

Floods, landslides and houses toppled by the rain killed at least 16 people in Hunan, Fujian and Guangxi provinces. A number of people are still missing.

In Guangxi, the army and residents were struggling to shore up a breached dyke at the base of a water reservoir.

At least 15 people died in neighbouring Vietnam, officials say.

There are fears the death toll in the two countries will rise further.

Both are prone to major flooding during the annual summer rainy season.

Deadly floods Happen every year in those areas during the summer season. :(

Are these normal? I don't think so. I don't remember hearing about similar floods last year or last to that.

Yes its normal in the monsoon season its even been worse.
But the reason it will get worse these days is due to more population.
When you have more people all congregating in the same areas you are bound to get more casualties.

Okay, I got it. But last time it happened in November. Why is it happening in July itself this time?


Something is wrong.The weather pattern is changing.

Agree.

Adding something else to the list:
