Car owners used bricks to elevate their vehicles to escape flooding brought by typhoon Haikui in southern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Fuzhou in Fujian Province on September 6.

The filmer named Sun clarified that the car was not lifted by a crane. Instead, the owners had meticulously arranged bricks on a graded slope, gradually driving the car onto this makeshift platform.

The vehicle was raised by an astonishing 50cm, successfully averting any potential water damage. Distressingly, nearby vehicles that didn’t employ this method weren't so fortunate, with many suffering water ingress.

9月6日，福建福州，台风海葵过后，暴雨致城市大面积内涝，有车主在车轮底下垫砖头躲过水泡。
视频拍摄者孙先生介绍，车辆不是吊车吊上去的，而是用砖头垒砌的由低到高的坡度，一点一点儿开上来的，整个车身被垫起的砖头抬升了有50公分，成功避免了水泡，而周围没有采取措施的车辆里都进水了。
