On the morning of April 23, Longhua District issued a red warning for heavy rain, with an average rainfall of 85.4 mm in Longhua Street from 07:50 to 11:50. Affected by the heavy rain, the water level of the Guanlan River basin increased significantly, and the water level of the Guanlan River (Gonghe Station) increased by 4.7 meters, which was the largest in the city. Due to the sharp rise in the water level of the river, the road was flooded for a short time. Longhua District quickly organized water affairs, drainage, traffic, streets and other forces to be on duty on site, and took emergency pumping and temporary traffic control and other work measures. At the same time, Yifang Tiandi Shopping Center has also made defensive preparations in advance such as installing water baffles and placing water-retaining sandbags. With the joint efforts of relevant departments, streets, shopping malls and shops, there was no water accumulation in the shopping mall. At 11:49 a.m., the water on the road began to subside, and at 11:55 a.m., traffic at the scene was restored.
