According to Shaanxi CC&TSPM, on August 8, Zhidan County in Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, was hit by a sudden heavy rainfall, which caused landslides. The communication, transportation, electricity, and water infrastructure in most parts of the county were severely devastated, with many houses collapsing, leading to significant property losses for the residents.
