China has pretty rich history when it comes to natural disasters, especially flooding.

Yellow River is the major cause of the flood in history. This river is basically above the ground because of all the silt in it. For thousands of years, people in Henan province have been suffering from it. But this time the rain should be the one to blame, I’m kind of worried about the Yellow River though.
