Since July 17th through the end of the month, Henan Province in China has been impacted by severe flooding following unprecedented rainfall.  The death toll is now 302 with numerous people unaccounted for.  Floods have resulted in relocation of 1.1 million residents of the province out of a total of 100 million.  Major cities including Zhengzhou, the capital, that received 24 inches of rain in three days in mid July suffered extensive damage, destroying as many as 400,000 vehicles with over $1 billion in insurance claims.  Other cities with populations of 5 million, encountering flooding and damage include Xinxiang and Kaifeng.

 

According to press reports, 15,000 farms were inundated with the loss of close to seven million chickens and a quarter million hogs.
