The warning system did not fail. Politicians did. AEMET had already warned authorities since Tuesday, but the region government didn' t trigger the alarms until 20:30. By that time people were already trapped.
I live in Valencia, and I received several warnings (first orange, then red) from AEMET on my phone before the situation became as severe as it has been. However, many people seemed to misunderstand the danger of the phenomenon or did not receive the warnings. I’m actually surprised by the number of casualties, because having experienced it firsthand and seeing it now, I would have expected even more. But the coming days may reveal a higher number... I'm so sad for my city of adoption. I managed to gather dozens of bags of winter clothes to donate today, thanks to my neighbours, but we’re still in need of drinking water.
i am from valencia. the valencian country government is more worried for economic interests instead human lives. when the alarm government has been actived it was too late. the incompetence of valencian government is colossal
My son lives in valencia aswel, he is fine. Lives on the seaside. Hope you are doing wel, the weekend wil bring rain again. Hope you have food for in case. Be safe 🙏❤
Absolutely agree with you ....the Valencian local government s incompetence is stark and they ve acted like utter buffoons The warnings came 8 hours after the rains began and they kept downplaying all of it throughout the incident . Terribly upsetting that the local government did not act prudently nor correctly.....too many lives were lost while they fiddled around
Have visited this amazing city 3 weeks ago. I can't believe what they are going through these days. My heart goes to all those who lost the loved ones. May they rest in peace😔
Natural disasters not only kill but cause billions of dollars of damage and trauma that never really leaves. RIP all the victims. Sending blessings from Australia where both floods and fires kill each year. 💔
@@DementiaDon they run a weather modification project in that area. it's to convince people of their climate change agenda to force people into smart cities.
I don’t think anyone can be ready for flash flood I watched and seen a lot of terrifying scenes and like they all say it happened so quickly don’t think anyone could be prepared for that situation sadly. Plus Spain is quite a dry country I still can’t wait to visit next year. Sending love to all over valencia 🇪🇸 💙💙 from wales 🏴 you been in my thoughts.
I agree I don’t think anyone can be ready for a flash flood, I was in one along time ago in Texas and at least I made the choice not to try to rescue my car but to stay up on the second floor. I didn’t notice it till too late because I was already on the telephone talking about a relative in the hospital unrelated to the hurricane that just sat on top of my city, raining hard Prayers to all the people the region that they get the help they need in reality.
Put Utiel (the origin of the flood) and Paiporta (the worst hit destination) in Google Maps. It rained so heavily in Utiel that the water dragged trees, hundreds of cars and debris down the river destroying everything in it’s path (roads, bridges, more cars). It wasn’t even raining in Paiporta, they were simply buried by the avalanche coming from upstream, their streets full of piled up cars and everything else, leaving the street level, bottom floors and garages under several meters of water and mud, and under all that, many drowned residents. 😢
Yea, no amount of green area is going to help with that amount of water. It was like a years worth of rain in one day, there' nothing you can do about that much water.
The warning system is ruled by regional goverments in Spain, and the region of Valencia is ruled by Partido Popular (the right wing), and another important detail is that the regional Rescue Group of Valencia was dismantled by Partido Popular when they won the last regional election
The right-wing, the world over have a psychotic apathy towards the consequences of global warming. to accept it is to admit to it's causes which is to risk loosing those corrupt backhanders which is what they are really bothered about.
I'm living in Cabanyal, Valencia right now and I got a red warning (danger to life) weather alert on my phone on Monday night in advance of the weather on Tuesday. The truth is most people disable their weather alerts on their phone as it's a nuisance most of the time. If I didn't have that alert I wouldn't have had a clue until it was actually occurring. The day after there was still hundreds who didn't have any idea of the devastation.
HALF A METER rain in 8hrs or so is not easily soaked, specially when it hits drought toughened soil and mountains. The only real way to lessen these extreme events is: STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS.
Part of the problem lies on drought killed vegetation and doil that does mot allow any water to penetrate it in first few hours of rain. Having trees and absorption places could have taken few centimeters from the flood, but the amount was way above these measures.
Do you believe there was no extreme weather before the industrial revolution? This is a natural phenomenon that has happened before in this region, nothing to do with fossil fuels. The actual path to lessen the damage in the future is building better water management and alarm systems.
It is happening all over the world, just yesterday a huge typhoon passed near northern Philippines and over Taiwan. Never are their typhoons at the end of Oct. Late sept maybe early Oct but just shows how much warmer the ocean is later in the year.
It was the president of the Autonomous Community who failed to raise the alarm on time and he shouldn't have dismantled the Valencia Military Emergency Unit. He's responsible for most lives lost but won't resign. They never do.
Many places throughout the world have received great amounts of funding for flood prevention & other work. I don't know about that in this case, but yes in many.
@@DementiaDon Valencia has always head danger of flooding, they diverted an entire river a couple of decades ago because of this. Any time it rains for a day, the river literally comes back to life
We are praying for everyone. 🙏 So shocking and sad. This happened in America after hurricane Helene recently and they are still searching and cleaning up. Rebuilding will take a long time. So tragic and heartbreaking. 😢
Here in Madrid we always look at the weather in our mobiles if it rains or has tormenta and we know. But people are really not looking , that's the problem.😢
Warning System completely nonexistent in Valencia. We didn't receive any emergency texts until 8pm when it was already too late. In the Midwest in USA where I grew up, we have Tornado Alarms that blare loudly throughout the city. Valencia government should consider adopting a similar alarm for floods. Not only do we have a Tornado warning, we have a system where all TV programs are stopped, and an Emergency broadcast comes on to warn citizens as well. And usually if it's expected to be a deadly weather, the governor or mayor holds press conferences a few days or weeks before to inform citizens. None of that ever happened in Valencia.
Yeah they've had floods before but nothing on this level... This is typical human behaviour, unless there is a major catastrophe the authorities won't implement the necessary changes... Always implemented after the event
The president of the community dismantled the Military Emergency Service to "save" money. He also failed to give the alarm. Now they are blaming the socialist Central Government. Mazón knew about the emergency days before and only gave the alarm at 8 pm when people were on the road off work when he could have given the alarm hours before and not so many people would have died.
If any city in the USA got 472 liters in one hour, there will no be any house standing, and don't make me start talking about the power distribution. I have been almost three days without power for a storm.... living 10 millas from the White house. The huracanes start in África and are tracked for weeks. These storms in the Mediterranean are fast sometimes less than 12 hours.
Nobody can save you at the time of disaster not even the president but humans always underestimate the power of nature. Prayers for all the people affected.
Gota Fria happen on a regular basis across the Iberian peninsular. The suggestions from the "expert" are pointless the amount of water in this Gota Fria was not only unexpected it was unprecedented. Global temperatures have now crossed the threshold, so unless the worlds leading polluters act, nothing will change.
Too many Spanish are minimising it by saying that it’s normal to have the DANAs in that area, completely ignoring the fact that this was the worst DANA ever.
I mean there is so clearly something going on with the climate, also with the amount of energy we use how can people not understand these changes affect delicate balances. Where I live we have strange weather far more often. Even those a lot older than me can see a difference.
The warning system was a failure, due its began at 20:30pm when the mud floods where at the towns and was too late for starting the evacuations of the people. In fact I recieved the message alert at that hour on my phone, like the rest of my family. On the other hand, some universities where more concerned about the Dana, so they gave and advice to the students for staying at home and not coming to classes. This alert of the universities, was gave at 11:00am So in the end, the responsibles of his failure were the Regional Government of Valencia, because they are responsibles for sending those alert messages on the phones. And also some business owner, who insisted to their employees going to work when some of them where well known about the risk of the Dana
How times have changed. Before the storm came, passed, clean up ensued, and people waited another 100 years for the next one. Today, the storm comes, passes, while cleaning up (you are told not to, because round two is a couple of days away), round two comes, clean up ensues and a couple of years later the cycle repeats.
There were many warnings but we're not used to this. Also torrential downpours linked to these cut-off lows can be very localised and difficult to forecast. Basically everyone has to be better prepared to receive a lot of rain in very little time.
Interesting how people forget, I've been there when similar rain happened. Not saying that enough warning were given or not, but I know for fact that (1) people don't take things seriously and (2) those rains and floods happen in minutes. In my case, it was totally fine weather and then in 30 minutes it rained as much as it would rain in a year. It is difficult to "react" to things like that.
Government failure is the cause of all human misery. Climate change, when these calamities inevitably strike, is given as the brainwashing mantra, scapegoat. The tired drum beat never ceases.
We are at 1.5C. And we are going to be permanently above that line in coming few years. 15 years to 2C. And yet still our emissions and following temperature are at or above the predicted worst case scenario. Our governments are driving us toward rapidly worsening climate conditions with extremes like in Spain and everywhere in the world. Food prices are already up due to climate change. And that can be seen any time we go shopping. This is also one of the main drivers of inflation as studies shows. This means byebye to 2% inflation targets. And the share is only growing. Also losses on all houses, cars, life and so on are adding the costs rapidly for everyone. Inflation will be far worse in coming years.
Yes, it is true that the climate is changing. The greenhouse effect is also true. But as long as the farmers continue to burn their plantation waste and the government talks about “tradition”, they are still supporting global warming through these CO2 emissions! Spain doesn't care much about nature, so this indifference towards it is taking its revenge!
It looks like the AEMET in Spain totally screwed up. Not the first time either. We'll see what the investigation reveals. There are too many dead people and that's partly on them and on the warning system. That has to be tested often. We get warnings in the US when we get severe weather and it's sometimes very precise, down to your zip code. There will always be people that ignore the warnings, but I think more people could have been saved from imminent death.
Bitcoin mining is making 22.6 Hiroshimas per day of convective energy, that energy has to go somewhere, most goes to oceans adding to evaporation which adds to rainfall.
We as a species, need to put our best minds to work to find out what conditions were like the last time this happened in our earth's history so we can better prepare our infrastructure.
Vivo en España, y esto ha sido una tragedia, lamentablemente todavía quedan más muertes por confirmar, las imágenes de la devastación hablan por sí solas😢
Beautiful Spain, where I have been wanting to return for so many years... Climate Change is real. Hope the families will get the help they so desperately need.
In asia there is always storm earthquake and flood, people are advice to prepare basic things and evacuate if the places are known to be flooding area but of ciurse there are still casualties for some.other reasons. But maybe advising people to stay at home wont help if the water is.too.high and there is nowhere to run? Like I mention in asia people are advice to evacuate earlier to higher grounds b4 the storm will come. Local government prepare an evacuation sites in different places
This is how quickly everyone can lose everything they have. Spain,, no police or first responders all of them including local politicians with disaster relief for all citizens. Shame on Spain as a whole incompetence reigns towards the people in need.
Does the unreal idealization of Japan prevent you from an easy search on Google? Just 6 years ago, in 2018 there were 200 dead in Japan due to similar floods
I believe its up to people if they want to disabled the automatic warning system. So no matter how advance the technology if people do that that the problem why the casualty are high @@carlospf639
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai eruption The amount of water vapor ejected was 10 percent of the stratosphere's typical stock. It was enough to temporarily warm the surface of Earth. It is estimated that an excess of water vapour should remain for 5-10 years.

😮my condolences ya ...We all need a very effective mass evacuation system to save people. Flood shelters & fast responsive Search N Rescue team from the Fire n Rescue, Clean up Contractors & the Police to safeguard property against theft during disasters like this. Spain can follow # NADMA Malaysia or # Florida Governor office since the recent # Hurricane Milton's Mass Evac was quite successful & the coming Northeast Monsoon plus, the terrible Monsoon Surge will hit my country again. Floods are typical of Malaysia. We had 2 historic floodings in 1971 & 2021😢. We are still not perfect in the rescue & evac execution but, many lives were saved then. Good luck!
Just like anything that has an exponential nature, by the time we see and acknowledge it happening, it's already too late. The focus on carbon resulting in more "green consumption" is only going to make matters worse.

But maybe advising people to stay at home wont help if the water is.too.high and there is nowhere to run? Like I mention in asia people are advice to evacuate earlier to higher grounds b4 the storm will come. Local government prepare an evacuation sites in different places
This is how quickly everyone can lose everything they have. Spain,, no police or first responders all of them including local politicians with disaster relief for all citizens. Shame on Spain as a whole incompetence reigns towards the people in need.
Wery WEIRD- weather manipulation?
The geo engineering is not helping, is possibly causing these anomalies. This storm is very similar to Helene in North Carolina and Tennessee.
Who?
Japan prepared itself 20 years ago for this type of flooding - We need to be like Japan!
Does the unreal idealization of Japan prevent you from an easy search on Google? Just 6 years ago, in 2018 there were 200 dead in Japan due to similar floods
I believe its up to people if they want to disabled the automatic warning system. So no matter how advance the technology if people do that that the problem why the casualty are high @@carlospf639
Casi en todo los lugares ,estamos expuestos a desastres,es una tristeza ver algo asi. Ojalá se recuperen,pronto.
"As we warm our atmosphere..." Yeah, who's doing the warming? Certainly not all of us useless eaters in gas guzzling beaters
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai eruption The amount of water vapor ejected was 10 percent of the stratosphere's typical stock. It was enough to temporarily warm the surface of Earth. It is estimated that an excess of water vapour should remain for 5-10 years.
And on top of that, the solar flares are really moving and shaking the earth…..heating things up
Dreadful

España ,Valencia😢
😮my condolences ya ...We all need a very effective mass evacuation system to save people.
Flood shelters & fast responsive Search N Rescue team from the Fire n Rescue, Clean up Contractors & the Police to safeguard property against theft during disasters like this.
Spain can follow # NADMA Malaysia or # Florida Governor office since the recent # Hurricane Milton's Mass Evac was quite successful & the coming Northeast Monsoon plus, the terrible Monsoon Surge will hit my country again. Floods are typical of Malaysia.
We had 2 historic floodings in 1971 & 2021😢. We are still not perfect in the rescue & evac execution but, many lives were saved then.
Good luck!
Try buying more carbon credits. That should take care of weather problems....😢
Just like anything that has an exponential nature, by the time we see and acknowledge it happening, it's already too late. The focus on carbon resulting in more "green consumption" is only going to make matters worse.
