The Three Gorges Dam, China’s largest, is on high alert as floods triggered by torrential rains wreak havoc in the southwestern part of the country.
Record rainfall in Chongqing has caused flooding in a dozen districts and counties since Thursday, raising the water levels in 29 rivers, state news agency Xinhua reported.
Six people have died in the region which has received over 250mm of rain, according to the Chongqing Hydrological Monitoring Station.
An aerial drone showed a township submerged in muddy waters.
Dianjiang county in Chongqing received 269.2mm of rain on Thursday, the highest in a single day ever.
The rains have affected over 40,000 people, forced the evacuation of several areas and damaged 1,800 hectares of crops, CCTV reported.

The Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters on Thursday raised the flood emergency response to level 3 in the four-tier response system in which level 1 is the most severe.
“As flood preparedness and response enter a critical period, we should strengthen warnings and monitoring and timely evacuate people in areas at risk of geological disasters,” Chongqing’s mayor, Hu Henghua, said on Thursday. “It’s better to be extra careful to prevent any potential losses.”

Heavy rainfall is anticipated in the upper reaches of the river over the next 10 days, with a new round of floods expected to flow into the reservoir around 16 July, Changjiang Water Resource Commission said.
A flood with a peak flow of 45,000 cubic metres per second is forecasted to enter the reservoir on Friday, and two other significant water surges are expected in mid-July.
Where is the little dude poking with a stick meme? We've been hearing three gorges dam on verge of collapse for years now.
Meme coming up! Kek
BREAKING: 'EVACUATE NOW' - Emergency Evacuation Ordered in Nashville, Illinois
🚨 Emergency services have ordered an immediate evacuation for parts of Nashville, Illinois, due to the "imminent" failure of a dam following a flash flooding warning from the NWS. Residents are urged to leave the area immediately for their safety. #NashvilleIL #Evacuation #FlashFlooding #Emergency #DamFailure #SafetyAlert

So far the water is rushing over the side of this Nashville Illinois dam, and has not broke the actual dam “yet”. Video below shows water coming around the side as dam is down below on the other side of little hill next to this house, facing the river/stream.

The 3 gorges damn will be waaay more catastrophic!
But yep, seems like the dams are breaking on the Cabal perhaps.
What’s that theory?
Yes, I heard this years ago also. I've been watching and waiting for that dam to go down for 6 years or so. I have no idea how it has managed to stay together. The floods have been historical every year. There is also supposed to be baby raising and organ harvesting etc. going on at the base of the dam.
Hmm...
scrambles to sell all BTC...lol
TLDR: Almost all the BTC mining computers are housed under the dam and connected to the electric supply from the dam.
What is the BTC theory about 3GD? Never heard of it.
Got it, thanks.
Agreed Saggy agreed! Exciting times my friend, and I’m glad to be with you to keep up the diligent work and watch all of this. 😊
Look for heavenly signs. The flood has begun.
On point! 😉
Looks like the DS needs to bump assassinations off the American psych. Engage operation memory hole.
Praying for the people of Nashville Illinois.
This sounds like sabotage for me. There are no coincidences. China is trying to get Taiwan off from the Cabal chains, this was planning to happen within a few weeks, and then all of the sudden this happen to China? If the Cabal could bomb the Nordstream piping, then they could bomb the China Gorges Dam as well. The Cabal is desperate. Their days are counted and they know it. They will keep trying everything. So let's keep on alert.
I feel sorry for the Chinese people, since civilians are always the ones who paid the consequences. My prayers are with them.
God Loves You all!
They must suck at it because we've been hearing this same exact story for years now.
Or,
maybe it is not cabal sabotage and Chinese engineering and maintenance programs really does suck, even on critical systems.
There are plenty of videos about shoddy Chinese quality on many Chinese items, from clothes to housing to electric cars to military equipment. What makes you think that China will not skimp on quality for its major infrastructure projects like dams?
I'll say this as an engineer: if every year we are biting our fingers off in fear that a (what's supposed to be a robustly-designed) dam would collapse just because there is too much water, and whole villages and towns were getting wiped out to probably prevent a collapse, it is a sign of very poor engineering and everyone on that project should be locked away for incompetence.
Cabal sabotage or not, we shall not tolerate the wicked habits of the "allies" of the white hats, else how are we better than the cabal we fight?
This one is a nothing burger.
Back in 2020 there were 3 Gorges Dam generals on /pol/'s 4chan spanning up to 300+ threads trying to unravel the complexities of the event back then. This happened around the Suez Canal blockage too. Alot of anons were pretty sure this would tank the world financial markets even worse than covid.
https://archive.vn/YBhat -- the 4chan 3GD general.
There were several key critical failures in the 3GD, but the CCP ended up diverting water pressure upstream from other sources, sacrificing some smaller provinces to keep the 3GD intact. It got so bad that there were visual aerial and satellite photos of cracks on the dam's structure. Estimated damage back then was 200+ million people displaced.
CCP will just let it flood again, divert water pressure, and if they have to, sacrifice some smaller provinces again.
Speaking of Taiwan, a year or so back I read something (please don't ask for a source, I've long forgotten where I read this) that said Taiwan has developed approx. 1,000 missiles specifically designed to strike the 3GD and other upstream dams to create nationwide havoc if China ever invaded Taiwan.
I wouldn't put it past Taiwan (or any small nation) if their very existence was threatened. Taiwan might lose in an invasion, but China would pay a terrible price for it.
Of course. It’s an insurance policy. And China knows it. The damage would be akin to lobbing a nuke, or worse. I don’t know what they were thinking with that idiotic dam.
CCP knows everything is corrupt. They know a project that big is going to be riddled with corruption from top to bottom. Shitty steel, shitty concrete, swapped materials, shortcuts. Every vendor or contractor at every level is trying to get their piece of the pie. I would be shocked if 20% of the building material was the specification called for.
They already admitted it’s a 100 year dam not a thousand. Which is quite an admission. XI and the top elite are so desperate for clout, so desperate to show the world how advanced China is, they built a guillotine over 500 million people.
One day, that piece of shit is gonna fail. Likely in our lifetime. The damage is going to be biblical. Like nothing anyone has seen in hundred or thousands of years. The amount of people who live in the flood path below it is more than the entire population of the US.
Idiots. They did it to themselves. The Chinese never ending quest to convince themselves they are superior to the west.
Right you are. They built a sketchy dangling Sword of Damocles over 400 million people, 114 towns, and 1,680 villages along the river banks below the dam. GREAT JOB, China, just a GREAT JOB.
Being raised on the gulf coast and experiencing Harvey's totals in 2017 of 58" of rain in 24hrs, it's hard to understand that only 10-11" of rain could be so destructive. Im so used to monsoon rains on the coast, I forget there are places that can't handle the kind of rain we can. Prayers for the Chinese people since their govt does care. Prayers for the people in Nashville, IL, same reason.
Harvey dumped on an area that is almost totally flat. The water, massive amounts though it was, was able to spread out. In this region of China, 10" of rain is forced through the rugged terrain to not only exponentially pile up as channels converge, but to be moved at high speed as it hurtles to lower elevations.
While I appreciate the lesson, it was unnecessary. As I posted, it amazes me because I was born and raised on the coast. We get this amount of rainfall in a day. Now, the lesson of the day is, you do know that most of the land on the coast does slope toward the water, right? So, not flat. If it weren't for this gradual rise in elevation, well, you get it.....
This dam has been on the verge of collapse for the last decade. Sometimes I wonder if it's just fear mongering or if it'll actually happen.
People need to stop investing in cheap, Chinese knock-offs
Remember China wanted to control the rain, over an area the size of India.

Edit to add this one with some predictive programming maybe : https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/chinas-three-gorges-dam-disaster/
Makes me wonder why we have such an "ally" in this fight against the Satanic Cabal.
DAM IT MAN
The collapse has been imminent for how many decades now? It's like climate change, nothing ever actually happens.
THREE GORGES DAM - 2009 AND 2019 - Oh, it's going all right:

Tofu Dreg Construction: Dam was rushed and corners were cut.
The belly of the dragon will drip water.
Yup that area getting hammered and more coming.

Also: The news predicting that the Mississippi river is drying up, seems bit per-mature.
it is going to break.
I wonder what's under all that water?
Maybe this will be it
It would be weird if the 3 Gorges Dam breaks open... revealing a slip of paper inside with a clever "fortune" saying on one side, and lucky lottery #'s on the other.
Who knew the 3 Gorges Dam was always like one big concrete fortune cookie?
What's weird is this happened last election summer, 2020. Last time it was a "near catastrophic event" last I heard b
Whether 3 Gorges Dam fails, the flooding is real, crops & homes lost. The suffering is real.
Q. Will they flood their lower cities and towns. They have too. Because, the billions they spent on this retarded monstrosity. They will continue to have to do this every storm season. Shit, anchoring, and tofu cement. It's no longer straight on orbital photos. It's crooked and getting worse. Not if but when. Time for Vegas to start taking bets. But, seriously, the chinese people are going to continue to be hurt by this communist incompetence. All their food crops are getting ruined again.
FYI 254mm = 9.84 inches. That's a lot of rain.
Dam levels have risen 161.1 meters - 528.5 feet
That's a lot of moisture.
How does that compare to the last 4 years, as we have been talking about this before?
Feels like 4chan all over again with the 3 gorges dam generals.
