Dramatic moment CAR swept away in seconds during flash flood in China

Footage captured last week showed a white car getting swept away by rushing floodwaters in China's Guangdong province as authorities carried out rescue operations in the flood-hit province on Monday (April 22).

Floods have swamped a handful of cities in southern China's densely populated Pearl River Delta following record-breaking rains, sparking worries about the region's defences against bigger deluges induced by extreme weather events.

Precipitation records for April have already been broken in many parts of Guangdong, with the cities of Shaoguan, Zhaoqing and Jiangmen to the west and north of Guangzhou also half-submerged in flood-waters.

Weather events in China have become more intense and unpredictable because of global warming, scientists say, with record-breaking rainfall and drought assailing the world's second-largest economy, often at the same time.
