RESIDENTS in southern China have been advised to stay home after more than 70 crocodiles escaped from a farm during horror storms.<\/p>\n
Seven people have already died in the deluges in in Maoming, according to Chinese media, as the beasts swim in the streets.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
An emergency official said 69 adult crocodiles and six juveniles had escaped as the region is battered by rain from former Typhoon Haikui.<\/p>\n
Some have been captured but others are more difficult to reach due to the depth of the lake they entered.<\/p>\n
More than 100 landslides have trapped thousands of residents in floodwaters.<\/p>\n
No injuries have been reported from the crocs yet, but seven people have died in the floods and more are missing following landslides.<\/p>\n

The rain caused flash floods in Hong Kong last week, which killed two people.<\/p>\n
