900 snakes, including deadly cobras, have escaped from the farm: 'Don't go near them, call for help immediately'

The article reports on a tragic incident in China where at least 900 snakes, including venomous cobras, escaped from flooded farms near Hangzhou, one of the largest snake farming centers in the country. The floods, part of extreme weather conditions affecting the Guangxi region, have created dangerous situations for residents. One woman died after being bitten by a snake, while another was injured during cleanup efforts. Authorities warn people not to approach the snakes and to immediately contact emergency services. The flooding has also impacted other livestock, such as pigs and zoo animals, causing significant damage to infrastructure and agriculture. The region is a major hub for commercial snake farming, with around 30 million snakes used in traditional medicine, leather production, and food industries. The disaster highlights the broader impact of climate-related disasters on local economies and communities.

Video of disaster in Guangxi Province, dam burst, people waiting on rooftops for rescue

A tropical storm named Maysak caused catastrophic floods in the autonomous region of Guangxi in southern China. The storm weakened after making landfall but continued to bring heavy rainfall, leading to the collapse of the Liulan Dam, one of the largest medium-sized reservoirs in the area. This breach resulted in severe flooding, with dramatic videos showing mudwater breaking through the dam and rushing toward populated areas. Residents reported panic as the floodwaters overwhelmed their homes, forcing many to seek refuge on upper floors. Local authorities raised the flood warning level to the highest degree and evacuated hundreds of people. The disaster has affected multiple reservoirs, including Yunbiao, Sancha, and Chayuan, with some areas completely submerged. Reports indicate that over 170,000 people are at risk of flooding, and more than 800 residents have been evacuated in the city of Fangchenggangu.
