Rescuers evacuated residents trapped in their homes by rising flood water in Wangmo town, southwest China's Guizhou province, on June 16, 2008. Heavy rains in China have left at least 65 people dead and missing across nine provinces over the past 10 days, with more than 1.27 million people evacuated in the hardest-hit areas, with large swathes of farmland submerged and economic losses already totaling more than 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion).
