Mudslide in China Kills One, Leaves 11 Missing After Tropical Cyclone Saudel
A mudslide in Suichuan County, Jiangxi province, China, caused by heavy rain from tropical cyclone Saudel, killed one person and left 11 missing, damaging about a dozen homes. Rescue teams relocated residents to safer areas, with two survivors reported in good condition. Saudel made multiple landfalls in neighboring Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, where flooding damaged over 100 houses and breached a dike, prompting evacuation of around 600,000 residents. State media showed flooded streets and rescue efforts using inflatable boats.
