One night last week there was a surprise flash flood in Xiahe.
It evidently started pouring down rain at about 1:30 a.m.
The rain fell so hard that it broke loose parts of the mountains and the water and rocks and mud came cascading down the small ravines leading to town.
The dangerous flood of mud and rock came crashing through some of the neighborhoods on the edge of town and down onto the main street.
At least 4 people died after being swept out of their destroyed homes by the flood waters, and many more were injured.
The main street was left covered with mud and rock.
