Thoughts with the people of Spain our town of Los Alcazeres was hit at least twice since my retired mum has gone over regularly most recently 2022. The streets were filled with brown water for a couple of days following a crazy thunderstorm but this is on another level ABSOLUTELY heartbreaking. ❤ Espana
My heartfelt Condolences to the people in Spain so sad to see this devastating weather conditiones.. Stay strong everyone.. greetings from Skandinavia 💞✌️💞
This is absolutely heartbreaking to hear about the devastating flash floods in Spain. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this tragedy. It's times like these when emergency services truly become heroes, risking their lives to rescue those in need. Let's all come together to support the people of Valencia and the other affected regions during this difficult time. Stay strong, Spain ❤
In case anyone is wondering. The southeast of Spain has a Mediterranean climate, and is characterised by long dry periods and flash floods from time to time. Once every few years is very common. These torrential rains can be more or less violent, so this has been happening literally forever in the region. The difference is that this time it was one of the worst in decades, but it is not a rare weather phenomenon in the region. In Spain they are called "Danas". The real estate companies have been building in ravines and vagoadas which are the natural channel for these torrents of water. Until now no one cared because events like this happen once every thirty or fifty years, but eventually this is what happens because of building in flood risk zones.
@@NapoleonGelignite Spain is a very mountainous country. Most of the region are hills, so many town are built near rivers. Seriously, its a typical problem here, many of the new buildings are just bad planning
Actually, it was. The warning had been out for a week. It’s the regional government of Valencia that failed to act, alert the population and decree the closure of all businesses for the day.
Yes. God surely could, and I'm sure would want to, but will not, cause a devastating flood anymore. Something worse is coming for our lack of wisdom regards to the environment and lack of compassion towards bulls and animal kingdom.
In Florida 23 people died and in Valencia around 90 and counting when the territory is not as big. The Valencia's authorities failed to tell people to stay home when they were already adviced by the meteorology national agency.
@@rejotalin There was no alarm or evacuation orders in East Tennessee/North Carolina, and the deaths are estimated to be at least 1.5-2.5x higher than current figures. But yeah, Spain totally dropped the ball.
@@Lyrielonwind not true at all,the're were about 200 official dead in Florida, North Carolina etc, but some say over 1 thousand deaths and thousands without houses now they are practically homeless,billions in losses,I know what I talking about, clearly you don't 😮

From the street interviews in the piece, it seems like ppl didnt understand what a flash flood is despite the warnings, ie. that it happens suddenly, not like usual flooding.
What should buildings be made of if not concrete and metal? There needs to be more flood defenses and areas around rivers and tributaries to absorb water
You completely missed the point. This is climate change and our infrastructures cannot handle the extreme events it causes and that will become more and more common
The Valencia autorithy,the employers, knows about the emergency and extreme wheather. Was priorize the production of things, and then the humans. They give the alarm ,at 8 pm, when was very late for a lot of people. The driver of the sunk green truck is a driver of big famous supermarket in Spain(Mercadona),for that reason they bluring the name. Nothing new.
To give an example: Rajasthan is years ahead of European countries when it comes to a distributed and well integrated concept of slowing down, storing and infiltrating large amounts of rain water that falls during the monsoon season. Droughts and extreme rainfalls are one and the same challenge. Watershed management is one of the key fields where we can improve our climate resilience.
Being in an area that experiences a monsoon season for over 1000 years, like the cities and people of Rajasthan has, and you would be expected to be years ahead of dry desert Spain in dealing with monsoon rains, right? Or did they just realize they were getting rained on in 1999 and have pursued enlightened civil engineering projects in the modern era to accommodate the seasonal monsoon?
I did not know that but Rajasthan is mainly flat and now imagine 400 litres per sq meter coming downhill top speed from the mountains... You would need to erase all human construction and re-start from zero to make a smart and efficient rainwater distribution
@@lazurusknight2724 They have experience to draw upon, but a few decades ago the drought-stricken land was only used for a single crop cycle, laying barren while the population had to migrate to cities for work. Where it's worth investing in watershed management, the downstream benefits include effective flood impact mitigation. But there the driving factor is food security and economic opportunity. Do watch "Creating an Oasis: How a Rajasthan village is reviving traditional water management practices | CEEW" for a more thorough view. Afaik in Spain urban cisterns are being shut down while in India laws are being passed to mandate that every building contributes to water harvesting. In "How to Save a Drying City (BENGALURU)", a number quoted is a 75% rainwater capture rate. Such ideas also start being embraced in European cities, but not nearly as effectively imo.
@@sinsubterfugios2637 Many people in Europe think that flood management is a permanent allocation of space to infrastructure. Much of the flooding that happens in valleys and downstream however has a chance of being addressed by slowing down the water such that it takes a few days to a week to make its way into rivers. This means that fields may be subjected to temporary flooding, and that permitting in former flood plains needs to be scaled back in relevant places. The take-away from the report is that people in Valencia have known extreme rain events, so there is imo now a serious incentive to effect change towards building climate resilience.
Esto es horrible increíble los Valencia España . Hemos sufrido problemas ambientales tanto en Estados Unidos con huracanes Que tristeza y ver esto en el bello País . Espero el Rey deceso Ana haga algo Porfavor
Did they not call this 'monster rain'..when it happened elsewhere?! It happened in Dublin one terrible day in 2011 but thankfully only 2 people died despite the huge financial cost of the destruction
Did you not think there would be consequences for pumping c02 into the atmosphere ten times faster than the petm extinction event? Your “weather manipulation “ is just getting started, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show
Flash floods does NOT help against droughts. Hard ground does not intake water and the flood washes most of the water away. Like here 500mm of rain in few hours. And most runs away from the area. Almost no ground water is develooed by these events. If same amount of rain would come in few months most of it would remain in the area, because the soil would take more rain and there would be green vegetation. This type of extreme rain is NOT helping, not even for drought. And you will also lose top soil due to runoff that the currents make. And that is harmful for all vegetation.
@ google Stefan Rahmstorf 3 degrees more. He’s an actual scientist and spells out exactly what’s happening in his interviews and scientific articles. Another scientist, Michael Mann, wrote the book Our fragile moment
Should we be asking the question as to what is causing these devastating flood rains that are occurring worldwide more often? There are some who are pointing their finger at the construction of large Solar Panel farms as the cause of sudden heavy flood rains. It seems the larger they are building the massive solar farms the more heavy torrential rain and floods are occurring more often. The majority of scientists are saying no, solar panel farms are not the cause of flood rains. However, some scientists believe that large solar panel farms can change the molecules in the air above the solar panels and the air heats up and rises above cloud cover and increases moisture and instability in the atmosphere. Maybe not, but what is causing these heavy flood rains that are occurring worldwide more often?
Dollar bill..... What is causing all the floods..... Rain 🌧️🌧️🌧️ It's been happening for a very long time... How far back to we hold weather precipitation records ? Not very long.
Like a month and a day after the Storm system plus Hurricane Helene struck North Caroline in the US southeastern mountain region of Appalachia. This is happening monthly somewhere in the World.
curios if Spanish citizens now look to tourists and people from elsewhere to help rebuild considering so many locals protested the presence of outsiders in their cities recently ???

Ah ha. This is the Spanish version of ‘they need to dredge the rivers’ narrative right?
Not to this extent.
Here comes the splainer. The climate change denier.
@@NapoleonGelignite Spain is a very mountainous country. Most of the region are hills, so many town are built near rivers. Seriously, its a typical problem here, many of the new buildings are just bad planning
Such a high total amount of precipitation is historically rare because the atmosphere holds 10% more water than it did a century ago.
Terrible, truly. But what happened with the meteo service?! How is it possible that such amount of rain was not part of the warning systems?
Actually, it was. The warning had been out for a week. It’s the regional government of Valencia that failed to act, alert the population and decree the closure of all businesses for the day.
Stay safe and warm. sad times
Now everywhere is raining and flooding around the world.
Relax buy insurance.
Not flooding around the world. Annual rain is coming uninvited.
What was that thing Carl Sagan kept going on about?
Or drought.
Yes. God surely could, and I'm sure would want to, but will not, cause a devastating flood anymore. Something worse is coming for our lack of wisdom regards to the environment and lack of compassion towards bulls and animal kingdom.
Just like Florida in the USA and North Carolina devastating 😢
In Florida 23 people died and in Valencia around 90 and counting when the territory is not as big.
The Valencia's authorities failed to tell people to stay home when they were already adviced by the meteorology national agency.
At least there, the regional (state) governments raised the alarm on time, helping to decrease casualties, not like here.

One thing we need to do in the face of such deluges, is to let/help rivers carve deeper, wider courses so they can manage this extra precipitation.
The Valencia autorithy,the employers, knows about the emergency and extreme wheather.
