Heavy rains that brought relief to drought-hit central China have caused much flooding in the southwest, leaving at least 14 people dead, officials said. As of Tuesday morning another 35 people were reported missing in the flooding in Wangmo County in Guizhou Province, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported. The floods led to the evacuation of about 45,000 county residents, while another 3,000 remained stranded, relief officials said. Essential services including electricity have been disrupted in several towns and cities. More precipitation was forecast for the flooded-hit areas. The long-due rains, however, have brought huge relief from the months-long drought that has savaged several provinces in central China, described as the worst in the past six decades.
