Floodwaters from the Maquoketa River have eaten a 30-foot-wide gap into the earthen dam. The lake's level has now dropped as much as 45 feet, with water flowing into the area below the dam. Water was beginning to surround homes in Hopkinton, a town of about 700 people. Emergency officials in Delaware County say it'll likely cause "significant losses of property." A meteorologist with the National Weather Service says areas below the dam will see an "initial wave from the sudden shot of water" caused by the dam's failure. That will be followed by a secondary crest as the high water above the dam made its way downstream." Heavy rains across the Midwest have flooded parts of Chicago interstates and commuter tracks and put a big hole in a dam in Iowa. In Chicago, officials say more than 7 inches of rain fell early yesterday, inundating the sewer system and overwhelming waterways. West of Chicago in suburban Westchester, crews in boats searched for people who were stranded in their flooded homes or trapped in cars under viaducts.In eastern Iowa, the Lake Delhi dam failed as rising floodwater from the Maquoketa River (meh-KOHK'-eh-tuh) ate a 30-foot-wide hole in the earthen structure. The water poured into the river 45 feet below, threatening the small town of Hopkinton. Jack Klaus, a spokesman with the Delaware County emergency management office, predicts "significant losses of property" in Hopkinton.]]></dfo:notes>

At least 100,000 have been evacuated from their homes in south-western Sichuan province after torrential rains caused waters to rise sharply in the Jialing River.The Jialing is a major tributary of the Yangtze.In Shaanxi province 6,400 people had to leave their homes when the Luofu river burst its banks in the city of Huayin.The Luofu feeds into the Yellow river, China's second-longest river.In Hubei, floods have killed six people, left eight others missing around the city of Yichang near the Three Gorges Dam."    "Rain-triggered floods and landslides have left at least 34 people dead, 28 others missing and forced the evacuation of more than 12,400 people in the past two days in west and central China, local authorities said.Additionally, flooding in parts of China may worsen as the National Meteorological Center forecast on Saturday that torrential rains would continue to pound the nation's central and southwest regions through Sunday.Water levels on the upper reaches of the Yangtze, the nation's longest river, are at their highest since 1987 and water levels on its middle and lower reaches are above warning levels for the first time since 2003.Flooding was temporarily eased Saturday on the Yangtze River as the Three Gorges Dam saw water levels fall slightly from its crest stage, the nation's flood control authority said Saturday.However, it also warned that the water level at the dam would rise again and exceed the record high reached Friday.Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has ordered local authorities to prepare for "more serious floods and disasters", as some major rivers saw water rising above their warning levels.Wen said China was at a "crucial stage" for flood control during an inspection tour in central China's Hubei Province that began July 23. Floods in China in 2010 have left 742 people dead and 367 missing, as of Friday morning, in 28 Chinese provinces, regions and municipalities.The death toll increased by more than 34 during the past two days.In southwest China's Sichuan Province, four people are dead and 16 missing after torrential rains caused flooding Saturday in one township, local authorities said.Rainstorms pelted Chenhe Township in Tongjiang County for 10 hours Saturday beginning at midnight, triggering floods that swamped all one-floor houses in the worst-hit Chang Town. Roads leading into the town were cut off, as were telecommunications and power supplies, said officials in the county's emergency response office.More than 3,100 people evacuated their homes and were relocated to warehouses and tents on higher ground, said Li Gang, head of the county government's information office.Rescuers continue searching for residents reported as missing.As the rain had ended by noon, floodwaters are receding from the town, he added.In the northwestern province of Gansu, thirteen people died in a landslide caused by heavy rains in Pingliang City early Saturday, the provincial government's response office said in a statement.Also, in neighboring Shaanxi Province more than 9,300 people were forced to flee their homes early Saturday as the Luofu River burst its banks.The 50-meter breach widened to 80 meters in the afternoon.More than 500 people were battling to strengthen the remaining riverbanks and fill the breach, said Dang Decai, Party secretary of Huayin City, where the breach occurred.Shaanxi is among the worst-hit provinces, with 100 people dead and 149 missing since July 14, the provincial government said in a statement late Saturday.In central Hubei Province, mountain torrents and river floods have left 13 people dead and 10 missing since late Friday.Floods have also killed four people and left two missing in central China's Henan Province during the past two days."]]></dfo:notes>

Field workers reported six people had been missing, four of them were found death.?We don?t yet the identity of the victims. They were drowned in the river,? Achmadi said as quoted by kompas.com.The flood followed three days of heavy rainfall, which was exacerbated by the sea rise."Rain-triggered landslides and floods swept through villages in Indonesia's provinces of Maluku and South Kalimantan, killing at least 21 people, officials said on Sunday.The worst happened in Buru Island in eastern province of Maluku, where a landslide hit scores of houses, killing 18 villagers, said Priyadi Kardono, the spokesman for Indonesia's Disaster Management Agency.Seven other villagers were injured in the Friday landslide in the southern part of Buru, an island that once served as a prison camp for communists in the 1970s.The bodies of the dead have already been evacuated, Kardono said.Meanwhile, in South Kalimantan, an Indonesian province on Borneo island, a flood killed three people and left one missing, said Surat Wiyono of the local Search and Rescue Agency.More than 3,000 families were affected by the flood that began on Saturday.Dozens of people are killed every year in Indonesia, a vast tropical archipelagic nation with more than 17,000 islands that are prone to landslides and floods during the annual monsoon rains.]]></dfo:notes>

The local meteorological office said that it recorded 2.2 inches of rain during the storm. Train service has been suspended as the railway track was swept away in five different sectors.Several villages have swept away due to the flash floods.

At least one person was killed in the flooding. Torrential rains slammed Hong Kong yesterday, washing away a man and flooding villages, just a couple of hours after the Hong Kong Observatory lifted warnings for tropical storm Chanthu. The intense, heavy rain system struck dozens of villages in Tai Pom which caused flooding in over 3000 homes and resulted in at least one death. Rescue workers came to assist the thousands of families who had been trapped by flood waters for hours. 
Motorists and workers were caught by surprise in the raging torrent, (additional video footage) which caused traffic to come to a standstill throughout the city. 
A Government Flying Service helicopter was called in to assist the search following reports that a person had been swept away, in what is said to be the worst flooding in 30 years. Residents raced for high ground until the storm had passed. The Hong Kong Observatory first issued an amber warning yesterday afternoon but then shifted to the red and black warning signals. All rainstorm signals were lowered at 9pm. The four-lane Choi Hung Road's Sun Po Kong (shown in the pictures and this video) section was closed for 1 1/2 hours from 6.30pm. Bus passengers were trapped by the meter-deep floodwater and police and fire department rescue teams were called in to assist. 
Typhoon Chanthu landed on the western coast of Guangdong at 2pm yesterday. Meteorologists at the Observatory expect Chanthu to move northwest at about 14 kilometers per hour and weaken gradually. More rain is expected in Hong Kong over the weekend. Chanthu is bearing down on China today with even more heavy rains, flood damage as well as danger of loss of life anticipated by police and fire rescue teams throughout this region.]]></dfo:notes>
