Residents paddle a ferry boat on a
river as police officers keep a close monitoring on flood waters in Qing Yuan,
south China's Guangdong province July 18, 2006. The booming province is cautious

continues to rage in south east China. Forty-four dead in the rainstorms
triggered by the tropical storm and the direct economic losses surge to six
