Beijing suffers flash floods in worst storm for six decades

The death toll is expected to rise further, with several more people reported missing. By Sunday morning, however, the rain had given way to clear skies.

At Beijing’s airport, 500 outbound flights were cancelled, leaving 80,000 passengers stranded without operational trains to ferry them away.

However, there were several reports on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, of Beijing residents pulling together in the calamity, offering strangers lifts and even spare beds to shelter in overnight.

A group of foreigners also became a trending topic on the internet after swimming, with an inflatable ring, on a major traffic intersection.
