Sichuan was the hardest hit. At least 73 people were killed as a result of the flooding, with 180 people missing.[1] An estimated 6 million lives were disrupted by the floods.[3] Floods and damageStarting during the weekend of 6–7 July 2013, from 8 am Thursday to 8 am Friday, China experienced heavy rainfall affecting 20 provinces and causing disruption for roughly 6 million people.[3] The southwest was the hardest hit, experiencing what was described as the heaviest rainfall in 50 years. In Dujiangyan, Sichuan {{Convert|37|in|cm}} of rain fell from 8–9 July, the heaviest rainfall since records began in 1954.[5] The rainfall led to widespread coding that destroyed bridges and houses, as well as a memorial for victims of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The rain also triggered multiple landslides that buried dozens of people.[6] Mountainous regions of Sichuan suffered the most damage. Qushan, the former county seat of Beichuan which was depopulated after the 2008 earthquake, was submerged in {{Convert|23|ft|m}} of water. The site had been designated as a memorial to earthquake victims and was home to the Beichuan Earthquake Museum. On 9 July, a bridge across the Tongkou River failed, sending six cars into the rushing waters. At least twelve people went missing as a result and are presumed dead.[2] The bridge had only returned to service a few days earlier after undergoing repairs for earthquake damage. Flood waters in the area were measured at {{convert|6600|m3/s|ft3/s}}, the highest recorded flow rate since records began in 1954.[3][9] Two other bridges collapsed in Sichuan with no reported injuries.[3] In Dujiangyan City, Sichuan a landslide buried 11 homes and numerous vacation cottages on 10 July.[5][2] At least 18 people were killed by the landslide which covered {{Convert|2|km2}}, and 117 were missing as of early 11 July.[5][3] Phone lines were cut, so survivors had to hike to nearby government offices for help.[5] Later on 10 July, additional landslides trapped roughly 2000 people in a tunnel between Dujiangyan and Wenchuan. All were rescued by the evening.[4] In Aba, three people were killed and 12 others went missing after a mudslide in the area.[5] Across Sichuan more than 220,000 people were evacuated due to the storms and roughly 300 dings were destroyed by the floods[5][6] As of 11 July, there were 31 confirmed deaths in Sichuan and 166 people missing.[5] In Suijiang, Yunnan, four people were killed by the floods.[4] The storms destroyed 5,280 homes in the province and led to the suspension of school in rural areas.[6] In Shouyang, Shanxi, twelve workers were killed when an unfinished mining building collapsed on 9 July.[4][2] Outside Beijing, three people drowned in a car. Deaths were also reported within the city, in Inner Mongolia, and in Gansu.[5] As of 11 July, the storms had killed 46 people in total, according to official statistics, with hundreds more missing.[5] A further, sixty people were missing in Sichuan.[3] Further storms were expected on 11 July.[4] July storms{{main|Typhoon Soulik (2013)}}Typhoon Soulik made landfall over mainland China during 12-13 July as a minimal typhoon. About 72 million people were affected by the storm. Heavy rains extended into Guangdong. A total of $433.3 million USD were damage loss. Flooding continued until 15 July, as the storm ended affecting northern or northeastern part of China. 3 people were only reported dead due to Soulik. {{main|Tropical Storm Jebi}}2 weeks after Soulik impacted northern China, Tropical Storm Jebi made landfall over Hainan on 1 August. Approximately 1000 homes were damages and damage loss amounted to $20 million USD. Just after Jebi, Mangkhut had affected the most southern part of China. But this storm didn't made that much effects. August storms{{main|Typhoon Utor}}Widespread damage took place in Guangdong Province. With that, at least 4 people were killed by the storm. As of 15-16 August, another person was killed in a place called Dongguan. Losses across the province amounted to a total of $6.6 billion USD. On 16 August, it is reported that in Guangxi, 6 were reported dead and damages topped to $62.5 million USD. Widespread flooding was also reported in the province of Hunan and 5 people were killed. {{main|Tropical Storm Trami (2013)}}Trami made landfall over East China in the midnight hours of 22 August. Damage losses were reported about $406 million USD and most of the damage occurred in Fujian Province. In Guangxi, 2 people were killed. Contributing factorsIt is thought that the 2008 earthquake contributed to geological instability, which contributed to the landslides.[4] Deforestation was likely a significant factor.[2] See also
