This is off topic, but a few of you commented on how pretty Fenghuang is when I mentioned it several days ago. This is what it looks like today, after three days of heavy rain.

The wooden Fengyu Bridge, built in 2008, has been washed out.

The Tuo River is now 1.5 meters over normal levels, enough to flood out tjhe second floors of buildings along the river.

Public safety officers began evacuating 110,000 people in the wee hours of the morning here, and power was cut off as a safety precaution around 8 am. No casualties have been reported, but ancient quarter has sustained heavy damage.

For the record, I’m OK where I am.

We’re expecting two more days of rain.
