A policeman measures the extent
to which a road has buckled due to the excessive heat in Wuhan, Central
China's Hubei Province July 28, 2003. The piece of road, 11 metres wide
and 5 metres long, raised about 0.6 metres above the road. The city, known
as one of China's four "heating stoves'' in summer, has endured continued
high temperatures over 40 degrees centigrade since July 24. The buckled
road was repaired Tuesday and the traffic has returned normal.
