Footage shows flash floods in northern Laos close to the border with China today (July 21).

Heavy rain battered the Luang Namtha region next to China, Myanmar, and Vietnam causing sudden flows from mountains. The muddy torrents then caused a river to burst its banks sending water onto nearby roads.
