FUZHOU, China - A flood-battered dyke in China suffered a fresh breach on Wednesday morning as heavy flooding in the past week intensified and about 100,000 residents fled after an earlier break in its wall.
The Fuhe River in Jiangxi province first burst through the protective the dyke on its Changkai section late on Monday, after days of torrential rain, threatening areas near the small city of Fuzhou. The width of the breach near Changhu Village, Luozhen Township was still not known, said the municipal flood control officials.
