The Observatory issued the first black rainstorm warning signal in the past three years in the early hours of Saturday (6th). Heavy rains and severe flooding occurred in many areas. Among them, the village of Sai Kung Keng Keng became a severely affected area. The roads were flooded and many vehicles in the village were washed. Go or not.

After the heavy rain this morning, the village was messy and muddy. Villager Mr. Li recalled that when water flooded into the house at about 3 am, he was forced by the flood. He and his family had to abandon their home and fled and walked to a high place on the hillside to take shelter, but witnessed their dogs trapped in their cages and drowned. . He described that the water was about 2 meters deep and was close to the roof of the truck. Its two private cars and one truck were also inundated, and its gardening company and personal supplies were inundated. The estimated loss was over 1 million yuan. Some villagers suspected that this serious flooding was related to the road project at the village entrance. They believed that the narrowing of the water channel prevented the rainwater from being diverted in time.

Mr. Li, a villager, said that heavy rain began at 3 a.m. today. Afterwards, water poured into the house and the water level rose very quickly. He and his family were in danger. He had to leave home to take shelter at a high position outside the house. The female dog Hero is still in the ground dog cage, he once tried to return to save the dog. But the water level had risen to the top of the truck at that time. It was estimated that the water was 2 meters deep. Seeing that the dog was submerged, I could not help. I had to stand at a high position and wait for the water to return. "At that time, I saw a dog struggling, but the water level was too high. !"

"Alas, I don't know if there is any compensation!" Mr. Li said. After returning to his residence and his gardening company this morning, he found the unit was messy and muddy, and furniture and house items were scattered all over the place. According to his preliminary calculation, 2 private cars and 1 truck were flooded, together with company and personal materials, he estimated an estimated loss of about 1 million yuan.

In addition, a number of private cars in the parking lot of Shicun Village entrance in Qingjing were seriously intruded into the water. In the afternoon, someone called a crane to the scene to lift the fallen private car for processing.

Another villager, Mr. Liang, said that he had lived nearby for nearly 40 years. He said that the heavy rains in the past would not be seriously flooded. He believed that in recent years, there were road works at the intersections, which narrowed the drains. It is suspected that the rainwater failed to divert in time, causing serious flooding in the village. Mr. Liang said that his nearby engineering company had also damaged trucks and tools, with an estimated loss of several hundred thousand yuan.
