a flood like this occurred in Spain in 1973. Also the loss of life is over 250 not just dozens and this can be attributed to the delay in emergency reactions. The people did not have time to evacuate.

Isn’t it the area where Turia river was diverted from Valencia center in 1969?
So instead of city floods like in 1957, you have got all of the water coming through south of Valencia

[MrOctanas]

During floods, most of the water is diverted southwards along a new course that skirts the city, until it meets the Mediterranean. The old course of the river has been turned into a central green-space for the city, a cultural attraction known as the Garden of the Turia.

How about cloud seeding like they did in dubai, they are spraying all kinds of stuff in the air no wonder the climate is like it is

Its called H.A.R.P. There is a military Harp station not far from Valencia! Put dots together! As how on earth radar did not know about it?? As it was not natural!!!

This happened in 1957, 1973, 2017. Maybe Valencia's riverbed is a more plausible explanation. Dry riverbeds can be a problem for flooding because they can transport large amounts of rainwater into rivers or swamps, resulting in flash floods.

It's climate warming and the basic physics If a warmer atmosphere. It also causes extreme weather and floods all over europe this year with lots of casualties und germany, france, bosnia, auatria, poland.

[ckjohn]

It might be the gift from China as they claim they can cause artificial rains far ferocious than cloudburst. An enquiry is called for.

2 causes, deforestation and building homes in a flood plain.

BECUASE IT WS WEATHER WARFARE, NOT NATURAL

[jeroenjansen]

So why this has happened only once? I am a bit suspicious that the meteorogist immediately know the answer

[roberto]

Er bestaat geen klimaat verandering! Het klimaat wordt beïnvloed!! Leugens

[aimokan]

In the caption it said that Real Madrid donates €1.09 million to Valencia - that's less than what their players get in a week. SMH

[enricomendoza]

Spain is not ready for that kind of flood.

[paulacravello]

It is not only the weather. The plan for the rerouting of the rivers in the area has been poorly done. And houses and business developed in areas which are likely to be flooded

[gillianletissier]

Where is the army? People are helping themselves. Something isn’t right

[jimamizzi]

Red tape at its best, politicians put your glass of red wine down get off your backside and gets things moving immediately. Thoughts from Australia 🙏

[Alpha-Cheeno]

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains

[parandhamanmargan]

Spain stopped investing in infrastructure
