This following image is from today China's official Yangtze & #3GD water situation report. Go back to my recent tweet of explaining how to read this graph, you can see how much water level can go up when a major flood arrives.

BREAKING: 3rd wave of flood enters Yangtze today! With this speed, and more rain to come, it won't surprise me that No.4 flood wave will show up by next week.

1/ The problem is, not only the wave of flood are getting closer to each other, but #3GD made a gamble by discharging water too slow (try to save Wuhan) that, Flood#2 has already pushed water level high fast, with #3 coming (& #4 likely not far behind),
cjh.com.cn/article_2313_2… Image
2/ and with #3GD safe water storage level being at 175m, that means, #3 & #4 can EASILY overflow #3GD with rain keep coming & with their current slow discharge speed.

I speculate, sometime in the following 1-2 weeks, #3GD will have no choice but to do ... Image

#ChinaFloods #3GD #ThreeGorgesDam #Wuhan

A very informative 5-min English news giving the latest update & also on how dire the flooding situation is: CATCH 22!

Potentially a very critical moment may hit Wuhan sometime in the following 1 week or so.

So, can it be really possible that Wuhan may get flooded?? And, can that be a trigger to cause a major unexpected correction to the Pharma sector !!???

A real sad tragedy aside, this may create an opportunity to BTFD. Image

Not sure how on the radar this is for you but the #Chinaflooding season starts in 13 days and it’s already a catastrophe.

An interesting analysis of the situation.

#msm not covering this.

Quick #ChinaFloods update from friend in Wuhan.

With rain keeps pouring throughout Yangtze, #3GD will face catch22. Keep eyes on 2nd half July - early Aug: strong tidal bore + rain + water discharge can cause heavy floods in ⬇️stream cities for REAL

*Potentially market moving*
In case some might not know what tidal bore is, watch this: during new moon, moon & Sun create such a huge gravitational pull, causing water from ocean to reverse back into river with speed & power!

With Yangtze water level still rising, can be bad.

Catastrophic crisis brewing in China. The three gorges dam on verge of collapse. Rain expected for another 7-10 days.

400 million at risk.

I can't tell if #3GD is discharging water with speed right now, but I just found a possibly 2nd confirmation; I'm still waiting for at least 2 more to make an update on this.

1-2 weeks ago, #3GD did reveal data of water releasing volume, but they've updated that # since
TYPO .... I meant to say, "they have NOT updated that # since"
Finding out this truth is important, because, as Yichang (1st #3GD downstream major city) got flooded 1-2 days ago. The question is, was the flood done by rain? Or also by #3GD water discharge? If also by discharge, then with more rain coming, sooner or later, Wuhan will be next

#ThreeGorgesDam #3GD #ChinaFlood

Here are some quick updates concerning #3GD & #ChinaFlood situation based on all the news I came across in the past 2 days .....

1/
-- Chongqing city (upstream #3GD) just made it illegal for anyone to post any flooding related material online.
2/
-- CCP warned, heavy rain will last till at least mid July; according to statistics, the worst flood will be seen in July, not June.
-- according to weather forecast, heavy rain may take a pause temporally this weekend, before resuming.
3/
-- water level at Wuhan has exceeded danger level, and begin to seep into city edge.
-- almost 1000 reservoirs (excluding the big #3GD one) in Hubei & Anhui Provinces are overflowing, so all mini dams floodgates have been fully opened to release...

Some ask, "in what way can #3GD & Wuhan flooding affect us outside of China?" In MANY ways; 1 way is: 80-90%+ basic pharma drug material world uses (97% antibiotics US uses) comes from Wuhan China. Most of those factories sit next to Yangtze.

Flooded Wuhan = global drug shortage Image
#ThreeGorgesDam #ChinaFloods

All the record floods so far are only appetizers.

The entree is coming in mid Summer. I can't imagine how will Wuhan & Shanghai look like when #3GD discharges water in full capacity.

Looks like this potential danger finally catches more people's attention

1/ Since someone asked me for an update about China's situation on rain, flood, & dam (#3GD), so I decided to put together this mini report for everyone. I'll give you a quick update, then explain the catch 22 #3GD is facing.
2/ 1st of all, here's a 1.5-min quick news (English), please check it:

News said "Guizhou has the worst hit" today. Below is a snapshot from yesterday China weather forecast; I point out where Guizhou is & how bad the flood is : Image
3/ Although today's rain is not directly above Yangtze river, but half of those water will find their way back to Yangtze in the following 1-2 days (and, keep in mind, rain will keep coming).

Here is the catch22 for #3GD :

When #3GD was built, no one expected rain will...
