From 22: 00 am to 7: 00 am on August 6, there was heavy precipitation in Tianchi, Liping and Sheshu sanxiang town in Wenxian County, and heavy rain caused flash floods and mudslides. According to @ Longnan Wenxian, as of August 8, 2 1, the disaster has caused 8 deaths, 1 lost contact and 4 people were injured; Houses were damaged 174 households, of which 44 households collapsed.
According to @ Longnan Wenxian Weibo, Jinping Village and Yuping Village in Liping Town are two hardest hit areas. The two villages are bounded by Tanggou, and the people and fields in the village are built along the side of the ditch and extend outward.
Zhang Mingxi, a villager in Yuping Village, told Red Star News that it had not rained in Wenxian County for two months. The riverbank of Yangtanggou is 2.5 meters high and 4 meters wide, and the water level is just ankle high.
At about 22: 30, Zhang Mingxi heard the cry of Zhang Guozuo, the village director, from the loudspeaker in the village. "The general idea is to remind farmers that it is raining too hard now, so let's hurry to a safe place." He and his family went out with umbrellas and flashlights and waited at the meeting place. He could hardly hear anything except the rain outside.
Hearing the shouts of village cadres, the villagers along the ditch rushed out of their homes and watched the river rise from a distance. Zhang Mingxi told Red Star News that "at first, it was almost half as high as the riverbank".
Li Jianxiang lives on a dirt road opposite the ditch, and his parents live next to the ditch. He works outside all the year round. In recent days, because his mother Li Sun fell off the roof and broke her leg, he came from other places to take care of her bedridden mother. His father Li Changxing is also in poor health.

He went out to watch the rain. He didn't think it was raining hard, so he hid in the house when people weren't looking.
At around 23: 00, the flood suddenly rose and everyone rushed up. Someone shouted "Debris flow is coming". At 2300 hours, the village cadres counted the number of people near the old supply and marketing cooperatives and found that there were fewer people. The village party secretary told the young people in the village to search the river ditch again, and some even forgot to bring their umbrellas.
In the back room, Li Jianxiang watched the flood and roared past, but he was afraid to open the door. Finally, a dozen people knocked off the tiles on the roof and carried him out from it. They saved five people in the same way.
Li Jianxiang and Zhang Mingxi are still thinking about two old people, Li Changxing and Li Sun. "They are my grandparents," said Zhang Mingxi. "At that time, the water had overflowed, so we had to bypass it from the side. The river ditch was flooded, and the house could not be seen. There was only one tree left in their yard. " At this time, it is about 0: 00 on August 7, only more than two hours away from the rainstorm.
On the morning of 7th 10, villagers found the body of an old man under the beam. On the 8th, Zhang Mingxi found the body of an old man behind the fence of a farm downstream. On the morning of 9th 1, villagers buried two old people.
The mudslide killed two people in Yuping Village. The deceased were Li Jianxiang's parents. Zhang Bin, a staff member of Wenxian Propaganda Department, confirmed this information to Red Star News.
Zhang Guohong, the village party secretary, said that more than 60 families and 80 people were evacuated in Yuping village. On the afternoon of the 7th, communication and electricity were available, and the support team arrived.
At present, the villagers have found an open space to set up tents and told each other in the WeChat group that they can get water, instant noodles and rice.
