Snow in China

_41188444_xinjiang203.jpgMillions of Chinese faced a humanitarian crisis on Friday, as petrol and food reserves dwindled and yet more bad weather was forecast for a country paralyzed by record-breaking cold and snow.

More than 160 counties and cities in central China were suffering blackouts and water shortages, Xinhua news agency said, including Chenzhou, in Hunan province, a city of 4 million that has been without power and water for more than a week.

“Many trees are severed and power lines have collapsed. It’s like we have experienced an air raid or lost a battle,” a Chenzhou hotel worker told Reuters by telephone. “It is a complete mess. We are hungry and cold.”

Sheffield Floods

Flooding in Our City

What a week it has been. Last week we saw a number of schools in our city closed due to the heavy rainfall which in turn caused serious flooding. Shaffield has not seen flooding like this for a long time.

So what caused it?

What were the effects on people, businesses, homes and the local environment?

How have people managed since the floods?
