The river is flowing loudly, and the mountainside is deep. At present, Jilin Linjiang has suffered another historic flood disaster. The water on the Yalu River is like a wild horse on the loose, and the water level rises wildly, submerging the city in an instant. This ferocious flood frightened the local people into retreating, shouting "Run, the flood is coming!" ”
The flood came so quickly and violently that from the day before yesterday to this morning, 400 millimeters of rain fell on hundreds of miles along the Yalu River. This amount of rain is enough for a month in the south. The rain on the mountain rushed down, forming a particularly turbulent torrent, coupled with the large drop of the Yalu River, the river channel is narrow, this encounter of heavy rain, it has become a natural floodway. It is no wonder that the cities of Linjiang and Dandong downstream, suffered greatly and were tossed by the flood.
I remember that day, I was walking around Linjiang City, when I suddenly heard the sirens sounding, and when I looked back, I saw that the river was turbulent, and it was only a few meters away from the embankment. At this time, the streets were already in chaos, full of evacuated residents and vehicles, mixed with the shouts of the traffic police on duty. I hurried to the heights, thrilling all the way, for fear that I would be overtaken by the flood. It wasn't until I climbed to the balcony on the third floor that I breathed a sigh of relief, but when I looked down on the river, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart: the once bustling streets had been swallowed up by the yellow floodwaters, and garbage and debris were floating everywhere, and the scene was very tragic.
However, in the face of the flood, we ordinary people can't just cry bitterness, and we have to rely on ourselves at the critical moment. I heard that some residents near the river moved to higher places overnight, for fear that the flood would suddenly rise and flood their homes. Government departments are also desperately fighting floods, all kinds of water conservancy facilities are running at full capacity, and inspection teams are working around the clock to do their utmost to ensure the safety of the people's lives and property.
As I watched from the balcony, I called my relatives and friends and told them not to go near the river. At this time, in WeChat, all kinds of videos and photos of the Yalu River flood were overwhelmingly transmitted, each more scary than the other. Just looking at the surging torrent is enough to make people tremble. This is not the first time that such a large flood has occurred. It is said that in 95 and 2010, the lower reaches of the Yalu River suffered similar major floods.
No, God played a joke on us, and this year it's coming again. It seems that in the face of the impermanence of nature, no matter how advanced our technology is, we have to bow our heads obediently. One of my buddies is a water conservancy engineer, and he has been directing the rescue on the front line for the past two days, so I called him to ask about the situation. He said: The reason why the current flood disaster is so serious is inseparable from the water conservancy development carried out in the northeast region in recent years. Several large reservoirs have been built on the river, which are usually full of water for power generation, but they have to release water during the flood season, which virtually increases the pressure on downstream flood control.
Dude said that the government departments must reflect on this, and while pursuing development, they must consider it as a whole, and they must not delay flood control. I thought, the government, it really has to be prepared, and if the flood comes, it will not work. In normal times, it is necessary to make a plan, dredge the river, inspect the reservoir, and nip the potential safety hazards in the bud. However, then again, the reason why this flood is so severe is also inseparable from the heavy rain that has been falling a while ago.
I heard that the south has suffered a crazy high temperature again, jumping up to 40 degrees a day, and the north is also rainy and continuous, especially in the northeast and north China, and the rain is so fierce. No, the flash flood on the front foot has not stopped, and the typhoon "Gemei" on the back foot has hit again, and this rain is pouring down as if you don't need money. Therefore, the flooding of the Yalu River this time really can't only blame man-made disasters, and the factors of natural disasters are not small.
In other words, the Yalu River flood is by no means an isolated case. According to the forecast of the meteorological department, in the coming period, the situation of high temperature in the south and heavy rain in the north will continue, especially in the northeast, and there may be heavy rain locally. It seems that this summer, everyone should not want to stop. Isn't it, my house is full of all kinds of flood prevention and rescue equipment, rain boots, ponchos, flashlights, everything. The fellows who took refuge with me also moved all the valuable things at home upstairs. Everyone, you and I have to say a word, and I will talk endlessly.
At the moment, all parts of the country are working hard to deal with the floods. In this special period, we people must be vigilant, pay more attention to the government's early warning information, and transfer those who should be transferred quickly, and don't be careless. At the same time, we must also cheer for the comrades on the front line of flood fighting, as long as we are united and united, we will not be afraid of any kind of catastrophe! Just now, I saw a few figures on the other side of the river upstairs, wearing raincoats, patrolling the riverside in the heavy rain, and the scene made me feel very excited.
As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. In the face of the power of nature, we are small, but as long as we work hand in hand, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. I believe that under the strong leadership of the party and the government, and with the joint efforts of hundreds of millions of people, we will definitely be able to defeat the flood devil and usher in a smooth tomorrow! This great flood is destined to become an indelible memory in the hearts of the people of Linjiang. It reminds us that while enjoying the benefits of the river, we must also learn to respect and conform to nature. Let's unite to rebuild our home!
Let's pray for the people affected by the disaster and cheer for the flood fighters! May the mountains and rivers be safe, and the country and the people will be safe! The flood will eventually recede, and the dawn is ahead!
