Last weekend we had one of the worst thunderstorms in years or even ever - at least that`s what several colleagues and students told us, and they should now, as some of them live here their whole life already.
It really had the darkest sky, the strongest winds and the heaviest rains I´ve ever experienced in China so far that day. Of course we stayed home, but could see the road from our window, people being unable to hold their umbrellas up or keep on their scooters or bicycles due to the wind, and wade or drive through knee-deep water on the road.
On some underpasses the water level obviously was far more critical, as you can see on the picture, taken by a friend not that far away from our apartment and put on weibo. We even heard a person drowned during the rain. Our condolences.
Maybe a good thing we could take out of this - the following day we had a BBQ on our rooftop and it started raining. And everybody was just happy it wasn`t as heavy a storm as the day before.....
