The heaviest rainstorm in Beijing in six decades has killed at least 37 people, flooded streets and stranded 80,000 people at the main airport, state media and the government said on Sunday.
The storm, which started on Saturday afternoon and continued late into the night, flooded major roads and sent torrents of water tumbling down steps into underpasses.
The Beijing city government said on its official microblog that at least 37 people had died, including 25 drowned, six crushed in collapsing homes, five electrocuted and one struck by lightning.
I wish people would stop overreacting to this global warming hoo-hah!
Weather isn’t the same as atmosphere. Outsourcing isn’t the same as offshoring. A tax isn’t the same as a penalty. Not paying your taxes isn’t the same as paying 0% in taxes on your income because that’s what the law allows. Oh, wait….maybe it is. Words mean nothing to anyone unless they mean the same thing to everyone.
This storm wasn’t man-made.
It was part of God’s plan to rid the world of communists, 37 at a time.
Wait, a hoo-hah? Now you have my interest!
