An embankment failure occurred Thursday in Wushan village as a result of downpour-triggered internal soil erosion. The subsequent flood drowned 333 hectares of land and caused a blackout that affected 7,000 households. Some 2,300 residents have been evacuated. Zhejiang has been lashed by downpours after the Wednesday landfall of Typhoon Haikui. (Xinhua/Xu Yu)
