Two people were killed by storms in southwest China's Guizhou Province through Thursday to Friday, the provincial civil affairs department said.
A total of 350,000 people in Guizhou have been affected. Over 3,800 were relocated following the destruction of 120 buildings, and losses have passed 120 million yuan (19.2 million U.S. dollars). A landslide disrupted services on the rail link between the capital city of Guiyang and Shanghai.

Over 800,000 people from 250 townships in central China's Hunan Province have been affected by heavy rain, 7,559 have been relocated and about 100,000 hectares of cropland have been damaged.
Storms lashed north China's Shanxi Province and Tianjin Municipality causing traffic chaos on Friday afternoon. Many streets in Taiyuan City, capital of Shanxi, were underwater.
Some districts in Tianjin were hit by a hailstorm in the afternoon, according to Tianjin Meteorological Bureau.
