11 dead, 14 missing in China after heavy rainstorms

BEIJING — Heavy rainstorms that swept through a city in northeast China this week killed 11 people and left 14 others missing, while causing more than $1 billion in damages, state media reported Friday.  State broadcaster CCTV said an officer who was trying to save lives was one of the people who died in the city of Huludao in Liaoning province. Rescuers were still trying to find the people who went missing during the "historically rare" destructive rainfall, it said. An image from the broadcaster showed roads seriously flooded.
