Henan floods: Firefighters race to save lives

Heavy rain sparked dramatic rescues in Xuchang, central China's Henan Province. A woman swept away by a sudden mountain flood survived by clinging to a tree. Rescuers waded through raging water with safety ropes and pulled her to shore. Elsewhere in Xuchang, firefighters carried a 96-year-old woman on their backs after floodwater poured into her home. Henan has activated a Level II flood emergency response and remains under a red alert for rainstorms. Some areas recorded more than 350 millimeters of rain in 24 hours.
