北京61年来最大暴雨造成37人遇难 25人系溺水身亡

流经房山区的拒马河因暴雨引发洪水，最高径流量达到了每秒2500立方米的罕见数值。

Few Fangshan residents were prepared for the downpour, which occurred almost without warning.

房山区的居民几乎对这场暴雨毫无防备，事先也没有预警。

Guo Yanwei, a 25-year-old who works at the Changkuang coal mine in Fangshan, was holding a party for eight people at her home.

25岁的郭颜薇（音译）在房山区的一个煤矿工作，21日在家中和朋友聚会。

At 5:30 pm, she became aware that the water had reached her doorstep. Just 10 minutes later, the floodwaters had reached a depth of 1.3 meters.

下午5：30，她突然发现门外的积水已经达到她门前的台阶处。仅仅10分钟后，洪水就达到了1.3米深。

"I noticed the weather forecast on Friday, but we did not know the rain would be so overwhelming and flood my home so quickly," she said. Guo's sister carried her son to the second floor of an adjacent building. Guo and her friends climbed onto the roof of her house.

她说：“我注意到了周五的天气预报，但是我没有想到暴雨会这么猛烈地，会这么快就淹没我的家。”郭的姐姐带着她的孩子到邻近的一栋房子的二楼躲避，郭和她的朋友们爬上了她房子的屋顶。

Soon, all 50 residents of Guo's village had scrambled onto their roofs in search of temporary safety. Two people shared one umbrella in the forlorn hope of avoiding the unstoppable rain. Some residents tried to climb over the wall that surrounds the neighborhood, but the floodwater was so powerful that some parts of the wall looked as if they were about to collapse and could not support them. The residents stayed on the roofs.
