BEIJING -- Thirty-one people had been killed, eight were missing and 171 had been injured by 11 a.m. on Thursday as rainstorms continued to rage in east China's Shandong Province, according to the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs.

By Thursday morning, 5,718 households had been flooded and 135 houses destroyed in cities that included Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai and Zibo, the ministry said.

This is the strongest rainfall in Shandong this year and Jinan, the provincial capital, received a record of 180 mm of rainfall within three hours from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, the city's meteorological bureau said.

The rainstorm also cut off traffic, electricity and water supply for three hours in Jinan, according to the local government.

Momentan wird die Gegend hier ab und zu von solchen Unwettern heimgesucht. Uns ist nichts passiert und wir haben es auch nicht als soooo schlimm miterlebt.
Krass ist es allerdings schon, wenn auf einmal mitten am Tag draussen das Licht ausgeht. Grollender Donner, Blitze, die die Dunkelheit erhellen, und Regengüsse als ob die Sintflut kommt....
Das geht aber auch wieder recht schnell vorüber.
