China's capital has recorded its heaviest rainfall in at least 140 years over the past few days as remnants of Typhoon Doksuri deluged the region, turning streets into canals where emergency crews used rubber boats to rescue stranded residents. The city recorded 29.3 inches of rain between Saturday and Wednesday morning.

The torrential rain continued to pound the Chinese capital and northern China for the fourth day and has caused extensive flooding, leading to the loss of at least 20 lives.
