Devastating flash floods swept vehicles away in northern China.

The video was filmed in Baoji City in Shaanxi Province on July 17.

A sudden torrential rainstorm struck the city, unleashing severe havoc upon the unsuspecting urban landscape. The deluge caused extensive urban flooding, with multiple vehicles swept away by raging floodwaters, leaving drivers and residents covered in mud during their rescue efforts.

Eyewitnesses reported that within a short span, the downpour rapidly accumulated into torrents, submerging roads along riverbanks and surrounding low-lying areas.

Numerous cars parked along the streets were swiftly engulfed, tumbling and colliding amidst the floodwaters before disappearing into the tumultuous currents.

Simultaneously, underground garages in nearby residential areas were inundated, resulting in significant property losses for residents.

Local authorities had urgently evacuated 913 households comprising 1,881 individuals, with rescue operations continuing in earnest.

Emergency response teams are mobilising all available resources to swiftly restore normalcy to the disaster-stricken area, aiming to stabilise both production and daily life.
