At least 16 people died and more than 320,000 homes were evacuated in southern and central China after heavy rains toppled houses, flooded roads and damaged a dam, news reports say.

In the central province of Hunan, floods have killed eight people and forced 140,000 to relocate since rain began pounding the region on Wednesday, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

Five have died in southeastern Fujian province while another three people died and four were missing in the Jiangxi province of the Guangxi region.
