Stranded residents rowed through flooded streets to escape after heavy rains submerged villages in China.
Footage shows locals floating in their boats across the deluge that had almost reached the roofs of homes in the debris-littered water near a reservoir in Hangzhou province on August 3.
More than 300 people have reportedly died due to the recent extreme weather in China, including 14 that died when they were trapped in a flooded subway train carriage in Zhengzhou, Henan.
Scientists warn that climate change might bring similar weather phenomena in the future.
