Shenyang shut schools, urged residents to skip work and canceled all southbound trains for July 13-14 after floodwater up to 30 cm covered major roads and intersections.
Heavy to torrential rain is forecast across Liaoning through July 14, with some areas facing more than 3 inches an hour and over 6 inches in 24 hours.
