JINAN, July 22 (Xinhua) — Two people were killed and 10 were missing after a sudden torrent caused by heavy rainfall in east China's Shandong Province early Tuesday, local authorities said.

Torrential rains hit Laiwu District of Jinan City, capital of Shandong Province, and lasted for five hours from 00:00 to 05:00 Beijing time. During this period, a maximum of 364 mm of rain fell, the district government said in a statement.

Rains caused a sudden mountain torrent to collapse near two villages in Dawangzhuang Township, washing away and damaging 19 houses, killing two people and leaving 10 others missing.
