Su’ao became a town of muddy canals on Tuesday, due to the heavy rains that battered the northeastern region. The combined forces of Tropical Storm Fung-wong and northeasterly winds brought more than 1,000mm of rain to the coastal town. Streets turned into rivers, homes were submerged up to the first floor, and rescue teams dispatched dinghies to help the locals. More than 7,000 homes were left without power.
Shocking images of the flooding in Su’ao show the first floor of buildings completely underwater.
The second floor is now the first. Water covers the street as far as the eye can see, and rescue crews move about in dinghies and amphibious vehicles.
The water even caused an electrical box to blow up, sending sparks flying.
Locals had to contend with scary situations, such as floodwater pouring right into their homes.
Residents watched helplessly as muddy water steadily filled their building.
– The water’s already to my knees.
– How long has it been since such a big flood?
– About 15 years.
– My house is flooded.
– Were you scared?
– Yes, the water suddenly came rushing in!
Some even had to contend with landslides.
A brown waterfall has formed right at home, with a torrent of water flowing through the living room. The downpours turned Su’ao into an isolated archipelago.

Su’ao Mayor
The town center has pretty much become an island. All roads out are flooded, so vehicles can’t go in or out. Despite the pumping stations running nonstop, the water level keeps climbing. The whole downtown area is underwater.
The downpour and flooding is Yilan’s worst in more than a decade, and left 7,000 households without power in Su’ao, Luodong and Wujie.
