China's online social media Weibo was playing an important role in the flood news sharing system when catastrophic floods hit China this year. However, it was not intuitive for people to get a bigger picture of the overall flood situations. Therefore, I integrated the Weibo microblogs with flood inundation map. Try the map of Wuhan, China and hover the Weibo icon!

The map below shows the distribution of overall 376 large flood events in China, from 1985 to present. About 12 large flood events happened per year. The bigger the points, the worse the impact of the floods. (Data comes from Dartmouth Flood Observatory.)
