[quote:Anonymous Coward 77374864:MV80NDM0OTE5XzgwNzI5NDkyXzkxMkQxRjA=] [i] "...the upper reaches of the Three Gorges Dam are seeing the highest flood levels since 1940. Weather China has issued its highest warning for flooding and rain for the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to Guizhou. The rainfall is expected to peak on Tuesday and Wednesday (June 23 and 24)..."[/i] https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3952434 [b]It appears that the Three Gorges Dam is going to get it's first massive structural test later this week as all that rain finally reaches the impoundment basin of the Three Gorges Dam. [/b] The Dam has already apparently been "bending" in the middle, though the Chinese say it is only by a few millimeters ... and that was occuring PRIOR to this 80 year record rainfall /flood event!! Because of everything happening in the US and in Europe wrt CV19 AND the protests (in both places) this China Flooding event has gotten scant news coverage, but may actually be the biggest current news event.
