On July 20, record rainfall flooded the city, turning the streets into turbulent rivers and flooding at least part of the subway lines. A video posted online shows that as the water level rises, vehicles are washed away and desperate people are trapped in subway cars. 14 people were killed in the subway flood.

The death toll announced last Friday was 99.

Authorities said that floods and mudslides caused 189 deaths, house collapses caused 54 deaths, and underground areas such as basements and garages (including Metro Line 5) caused 39 deaths. The death toll in the highway tunnel is still 6 people, of which 247 vehicles were demolished. It was drained.

On behalf of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, Governor Wang Kai of Henan Province expressed deep condolences to the victims and condolences to the families of the victims.

Worst of all, Zhengzhou started at 4 pm on July 20, and within an hour it rained 20 centimeters, flooding the already soaked city. The children are trapped in the school, and the stranded people spend the night in the workplace.

In the following days, heavy rains headed north, hitting the cities of Hebi, Anyang, and Xinxiang in Henan Province. Seven people were killed in Xinxiang, three were missing, and rainfall exceeded 25 cm in a record 19 hours. Henan is an inland county about 620 kilometers southwest of Beijing.
