Hey amigos, Mother Nature is making waves in east China's Jiangxi Province! 🌊 Heavy rainfall has led to massive floods and geological disasters, affecting over 1.56 million people by Thursday evening, according to local authorities.
The chaos didn't stop there. Homes belonging to 43 households have collapsed, and over 2.41 million mu (that's about 160,667 hectares) of farmland are underwater! 🌾💦 That's a lot of crops taking an unexpected swim.
The direct economic losses are estimated at a whopping 1.86 billion yuan (around $260.9 million). That's a serious hit to the economy! 💸
Emergency response teams have been activated to help those in need. Communities are coming together to support each other during this tough time. 🤝
Stay tuned for more updates, and send your positive vibes to everyone affected! ✨
