Xinhua - Heaviest Rains In 60 Years Pound Beijing - At Least 14 Dead

STORMS that lashed large swathes of northern and southwestern China from Friday night through yesterday have killed at least 14 people, authorities said.

And heavy rains are forecast to continue in China's northern regions and some southern parts over the next three days.

In Beijing, rainstorms and gales that started around 10am yesterday have left at least four people dead and six others injured, police and medical workers said.

Roofs at a construction site in the city's suburban Tongzhou District were blown off by strong winds, crushing five people, sources with the Beijing Emergency Medical Center said. Two people died on the spot, while three were taken to a nearby hospital. A third person in Tongzhou also died when struck by lightning.
