A sudden heavy downpour flooded the city of Shangluo, Shaanxi province on Friday.

As a result, the area in front of the door of a middle school was submerged in half a meter of water, making it difficult for teachers and students to get to school.

Fortunately, thanks to somebody's brainwave, a loader was used to carry the students and teachers over the flood waters.
