Scores flee storm damage in Beijing

About 1 pm on Tuesday, scores of tourists stranded at scenic spots in Shicheng, in Beijing's Miyun district, were able to step through rubble to pavement hastily built overnight by road repair workers, ending an ordeal that began the night before.

Food and medicines were provided.

Liuxing Road, the only way to or from the area, had been washed away by heavy rains on Monday night.
