Rainstorms have battered Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces over the last 24 hours causing landslides and power cuts across the region, as well as flooding along many rivers.

A flood crest topped the warning level along Hunan Province's Xiangjiang River by around four meters on Friday night. The state flood control headquarters has issued flood warnings for the affected areas.
