In southern China, days of heavy rain has caused a hydro-electric plant to sustain heavy damage. There was a landslide that moved approximately 100,000 cubic meters (3.5 million cubic feet) of rocks and mud. Emergency responders rushed to the scene but have only so far uncovered 10 bodies as of Monday. There are still 31 people unaccounted for, and it is unsure how many have survived if any at all.

Construction workers were asleep in the living area of the mountain site in Fujian province. Early Sunday, the mudslide pushed the living quarters more than 10 meters (30 feet) from the original position, precariously close to the river situated below. More than 600 emergency personnel have been working around the clock to uncover people trapped by the rubble. Those that have been rescued are being treated at a nearby hospital. “We were asleep when the mountains began to jolt very strongly, and before we knew it, sand and mud were flowing into our room,” survivor Deng Chunwu told the official Xinhua News Agency.

The hydro-electric plant that was being built there is an extension of the Chitan hydro-electric station that provides power for the surrounding area. The station was predicted to open in August 2017 but unfortunately, this will be pushed back to an unknown date.
