A man wades through a flooded street in Anqing, Anhui Province, on July 13, 2010. A downpour began to pelt the city Tuesday, bringing up to 290.5 millimeters of rainfall from 5:00 to 16:00, a record-high in the city's history. No casualty report is currently available. A massive flooding similar to the one in 1998 that killed thousands of people is likely to occur this year, if downpours continue to batter the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River, a flood-control official has warned.
