Zhao Guodong almost did not sleep all night, and the majestic rain outside the window did not stop for a moment, and Zhao Guodong estimated that the rainfall would be at least 120 millimeters or more within five hours from 3 o'clock to dawn

This is only the first day, Zhao Guodong estimates that he is only afraid that the next two or three days is the key, there was not much rain in the early stage, and the soil absorbed a lot of this rain, but with the passage of time, after the soil moisture is saturated, the uncertainty will become greater

Zhao Guodong curled up on the sofa in this office all night, went to bed at one o'clock, woke up at half past three, then fell asleep again at half past four, got up at half past six and meditated and breathed for an hour, his energy was completely restored, and he could meet the heavy work of the whole day

The sky is still gloomy and terrible, although the rain has decreased, but it has not stopped, Zhao Guodong stood in front of the bed and watched the staff of the district party committee and district government enter the compound one after another, obviously the heavy rain did not have much impact on them overnight, after all, Ningling is a city that is often hit by heavy rains, and a group of people have already been mentally prepared for inertia, many people have been pushing bicycles and trouser legs into the courtyard, and it is estimated that some streets in the urban area have poor drainage and waterlogging

A Mitsubishi off-road run by the district government and a Cherokee from the Water Conservancy Bureau drove in and stopped outside the door of the building; Zhao Guodong, Zeng Lingchun, and Wei Xiaolan had already made an appointment to inspect the Wujiang River embankment and the Yuexiu River embankment together; Huo Yunda wanted to visit several factories and urge them to make preparations for flood fighting; Ling Xiao and Xiao Chaogui wanted to go to the shantytown of Yuexiu Street Office to visit the grassroots people

Mitsubishi off-road and Cherokee Jeep Fury. Roaring into the rain, there has been water accumulation on the street, although it is not very deep, but some sections of the road are still flooded with half a tire, Zhao Guodong's heart is a little tight, the waterlogging situation in the urban area is also worrying, only a few hours of heavy rain has become like this, if the precipitation continues, and the water level of the Wujiang River and the Yuexiu River rises, the water in the urban area is afraid that it will be difficult to drain away

Zeng Lingchun also had a sad face, last night it was Zhao. Guodong led the class in the district party committee and district government, Zhao Guodong asked him to go back and rest for a night, it is estimated that there will be floods in the next few days, and he did not refuse, but after three o'clock in the morning, the torrential rain began to pour, he could no longer sleep, standing by the window for two hours without seeing the rain have a small appearance, until his wife screamed, he would go back to bed and lie in a daze for two hours, and then he couldn't sleep and got up so easy to wait for the driver to pick up, and hurried to the district

Wei Xiaolan's face was a little calmer, no. There was a tiredness on her face that could not be concealed, she didn't have much rest last night, after Zhao Guodong's phone call, she didn't feel at ease and contacted the Construction Committee, Water Conservancy Bureau, Agricultural Bureau and Yuexiu Street Office, and asked the on-duty staff of the district government office to contact the townships and towns again, asking them to strengthen the personnel on duty, once the situation was discovered, they should report it immediately, lying on the bed, the husband also complained that since he became a member of the Standing Committee, he seemed to be on the clockwork alarm clock, and he couldn't even take care of the family, but fortunately, the husband complained and complained. But I am still quite supportive of her work

The two cars went on the Wujiang River embankment, and the group was wearing raincoats directly. Get out of the car, Zhao Guodong walked down the stone ladder on the embankment, carefully looked at the water situation in the river, the water color is not too turbid, it is estimated that the upstream water has not really come down, but compared with yesterday, the water level has begun to rise slowly, Liu Yonggui and Sha Yicheng also hurried down, squatted on the side of the stone ladder to carefully observe the erosion of the embankment, and assess the water and sand content

After looking at it, Zhao Guodong walked up to the embankment, his face grim, until Liu Yong. After Gui Ye went up to the embankment, he asked, "Lao Liu, how do you feel?" ”

"Secretary Zhao, District Chief Zeng, I can't see it now, just this rain is. I can't tell the difference, there is such a rainstorm every year, even the next day and two nights, with us standing on the Wujiang River embankment now, there should be no problem," Liu Yonggui said in a deep voice

"If it's down two or three. Days or even three or five days? Zhao Guodong immediately answered

Liu Yonggui was stunned, "Secretary Zhao, this kind of rain has not happened for three or five consecutive days, if it is like that, the warning water level has already been alerted, even if the Wujiang embankment is strong, I am afraid that the flood may overflow the embankment."

"It doesn't matter if you cross the embankment, we can temporarily increase the height, or build a second embankment, what I'm worried about is that once the embankment bursts, it will be troublesome" Zhao Guodong stood on the embankment and looked back, from the embankment to the west is the entire main urban area of Ningling, once the embankment breaks, it is simply unimaginable

"This kind of thing shouldn't happen, this section of the Wujiang River embankment is built quite firmly, although it is a project in the city, but because it involves the life and death of our district, I was still quite concerned at the time, not to mention that the style of Director Ma of the Water Conservancy Bureau was quite rigorous, and the requirements were very good, and the general construction team wanted to play tricks in front of his eyes, that is not to think" Liu Yonggui is still quite confident in this section of the Wujiang River embankment, "But from this section onwards, it took three years to repair, and I don't know what the situation is."

"Secretary Zhao, Mayor Meng and Director Wang, they're here" Wei Xiaolan saw a Mitsubishi off-road parked under the embankment, and several people jumped out of the car and walked towards the embankment with umbrellas

Meng Yuan's face was very haggard, obviously because he hadn't slept all night and his heart was anxious, so he suddenly seemed to be out of shape, Zhao Guodong reminded him to strengthen and repair several rivers in the city, which also caused the other party to be a little dissatisfied, but now the other party seems to realize that this year's flood season is not good

After a brief greeting, both of them were unintentionally talking about anything else, and went straight to the point: "Mayor Meng, how are Canghua and Fengting there?" “

"It's not good, it's raining heavily in the Wuling Mountains south of Canghua, and it is said that the situation in Penn is similar, the water level of Yunxi in Fengting has risen sharply, and there has been waterlogging in Fengting County, and the water volume of several streams in the mountainous area has increased sharply, and the water level of Daqing Creek and Xiaoqing Creek in the upper reaches of the Yuexiu River has skyrocketed, I estimate that it will soon be transmitted to the downstream, Secretary Zhao, I'm afraid you have to pay attention to the Yuexiu River" Meng Yuan needs to pay attention to not only the Wujiang River and the Yuexiu River, but also other rivers in the city are now beginning to face crises and pressures, like the Cui River, Guixi, Yunxi, Jinma River, Baitou River, etc

"Mayor Meng, we have fully mobilized on the Xijiang side, I am a little worried about Canghua, the upper reaches of the Yuexiu River are in Canghua, especially the Mishan Reservoir, I heard that it is in disrepair, the reservoir capacity and flood discharge capacity are very poor, if the problem is in Canghua, but the biggest loss is not good is our Xijiang District."

At this time, Zhao Guodong was also blunt, the Mishan Reservoir has always been a shadow in his heart, he once specifically mentioned this problem to Wang Daolu, but Wang Daolu said that he had inspected the Mishan Reservoir before the flood this year, and everything was normal, so he didn't want to say anything more, but seeing today's rainfall, he was a little hanging

"I also called Canghua on the side of the Mishan Reservoir, asking them to strengthen the safety inspection of the reservoir, pay close attention to the changes in the water situation, and empty the reservoir capacity as early as possible in case of accidents" Meng Yuan's tone was not very sure, the Mishan Reservoir belongs to the management of Canghua County, and he can only make this call, but the specific implementation can only rely on the county

"Mayor Meng, let me say hello to you first, I think Canghua is not fully prepared this time, I'm worried that something will happen" Zhao Guodong stared at the other party and said

Meng Yuan forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart, and tried his best to make his face calmer: "Secretary Zhao, each county has a county plan, if something really goes wrong, whoever should hit the board will hit whom's board, I don't think there are many people who don't want black yarn hats in the past two years."

Seeing Zhao Guodong and his entourage disappear into the rain curtain with two cars, Wang Daolu saw Meng Yuan's face unswerving, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to call Canghua again?" I think that compared with the Xijiang side of Canghua, the preparation work is indeed very bad, and the Xijiang side is not unreasonable to worry, if the Yuexiu River is in addition to the problem in Canghua, then the last thing to suffer is the Xijiang side, and several towns and villages in the southwest of them are directly under the threat of the Yuexiu River."

Meng Yuan was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "What else do you want to say?" I have called their secretary and county magistrate several times, and they are impatient, thinking that our hands in the city are too long and too wide, or, Lao Wang, you can call their water and electricity bureau and tell them, do our heart."

The rain finally gradually subsided after ten o'clock in the morning, Zhao Guodong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the lunch meal was much more palatable, but his heart only retained two hours of calm, from two o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to darken again, accompanied by thunder and lightning and strong winds, the rain began to be heavy again

Zhao Guodong finally realized that what he remembered was only afraid that he would really cash in, such continuous rainfall, and the amount of rain was so large, it was simply impossible not to have a flash flood, and as far as he knew, Canghua County's early flood control preparations were not sufficient, Wei Xiaolan also specifically raised her worries for this, especially worried that once the Yuexiu River bursts in the Canghua area, it may cause great damage to several towns and villages in the southwest of Xijiang

The rain did not subside until after 7 p.m., and the waterlogging situation in the urban area was already quite serious, and the water level of the Wujiang and Yuexiu rivers was also soaring, and the turbid and reddish waves crashed against the embankment, and driftwood, trees and even large livestock continued to float through the river, indicating that the flood in the upper reaches had caused considerable damage

"Lao Zeng, I guess something may happen tonight" Zhao Guodong looked at a buffalo struggling to float on the riverbank, the surging giant* swallowed it sometimes and sometimes floated, and several young people with good water on the bank watched this buffalo float dozens of meters away from him, but no one dared to go down and take this risk
