Nanjing experienced the heavens’ opening yesterday. Many parts of our City were knee deep in water, while the rainfall set near records for cumulative waters. But just where was it highest? And which parts of Nanjing got off unscathed?
南京昨天开了天。我们城市的许多地方都被齐膝深的水淹没，而降雨量也接近累积水量的记录。但最高的地方在哪里呢？南京哪些地区毫发无伤？
As the week dawned, the rains starting falling late Sunday evening in Nanjing. So who got hit hardest? And by how much?
随着本周黎明的到来，南京周日晚间开始下雨。那么谁受到的打击最严重呢？增加多少？
That would be the residents of Qinglong Residential Community in Chunhua Subdistrict of Jiangning. There, a good 26.29 centimetres (almost a full foot to our imperially-minded readers) of water was accumulated yesterday, 17 July, according to data pertaining to the period from 00:00 to 13:00.
那就是江宁淳华街道青龙小区的居民。根据 7 月 17 日 00:00 至 13:00 期间的数据，那里积聚了 26.29 厘米的水（对于我们有帝国主义思想的读者来说，几乎是一英尺）。
Elsewhere, the rainfall in multiple districts of Nanjing exceeded 10 centimetres yesterday. Data released by the Municipal Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters Office show that the next biggest-hit area of Nanjing was Jianye District, where Shuangzha Subdistrict saw a cumulative rainfall of between 8.01 and 16.6 centimetres.
