Wuzhishan City · Full chronicle and history

Wuzhishan City, Hainan Province, suffered severe urban flooding due to continuous heavy rain, with rapid floodwaters spilling onto streets and washing away many private cars and electric bikes, while some areas experienced water, power and gas outages. The Hainan Provincial Meteorological Bureau issued a level‑2 rainstorm warning, and local authorities have upgraded flood‑and‑wind emergency response to Level I, implementing a “five stops and one closure” measure across the city.

On September 15, some areas of Wuzhishan City had been without water for multiple consecutive days due to flooding. At the emergency water distribution site, residents got into arguments and physical scuffles over grabbing water hoses and cutting in line, and order at the scene was thrown into chaos for a time.

On September 14, 2026, Wuzhishan City, Hainan Province experienced continuous heavy rain, and a sudden landslide disaster occurred near Wuzhishan Middle School. The current casualty situation is still unclear.

Affected by the combined impact of the residual vortex of a South China Sea tropical depression and cold air, Hainan has experienced persistent extreme heavy rainfall since September 11, 2026. Rainstorm warnings have been upgraded in many areas, with severe waterlogging and rising river levels. External traffic arteries in Wuzhishan City have been completely cut off, with only emergency rescue vehicles allowed to pass, and floods have caused heavy losses to local farmers.
