Heavy rain has caused flooding and landslides that washed away cars, forced evacuations and knocked out power around the Chinese capital.

Heavy rains and flooding killed 30 people in Beijing, bringing the death toll from the storms in the region to at least 34. More than 80,000 people have been relocated in Beijing.

The dayslong rainstorms have left 30 dead in the Chinese capital and eight dead in its neighboring province of Hebei, state-run broadcaster CCTV said.
