Maybe it was a bad idea to remove the dams and flood barriers in accordance with Eu planning regulations !

The flood during General Franco's time took 300 deaths, and he undertook a huge engineering feat, he changed the course of the river that crossed through the town and built a huge dam....this was in the 50's

That's right blame climate change. Was climate change also responsible for the long period of good weather too or just the bad stuff?

No country is prepared for something like this!

Pity they can't store all this water in holding reservoirs for when there is drought

Damn emergency warning hit phones hours later! That’s completely fucked! Thoughts and prayers for everyone affected!

What about the increased solar activity which greatly affects the ionosphere, and in turn the layers surrounding earth- its never mentioned- we also have a reducing magnetic field with movements and shifting magnetic poles- with a reduced magnetic the suns activity has a greater impact- there is also climate meddling- all things are connected- Every time we get a huge solar storm we get massive weird weather systems- and odd scenarios that we havent seen before-
Interplanetary climate change- greater changes are afoot-

I was there last October prayers and ❤ from USA Florida this is absolutely horrible.😢

We mess with Mother Earth she hits back hard. Destroying forests and the environment, causing erosion, escavating mountains and we think things are going to be fine.

The rain was in Chiva. Miles away from Valencia. It all went downhill to Valencia though

Cauza este cu insamintarea norilor din zona Valenciei, deschiderea digului cu apa revarsata peste oras. Culmea este ca zona Valenciei este fara ploi deobicei. Urmeaza Barcelona pe lista situatiei similare Valenciei.

That's what happens when you build a town where a river used to run ( flood zone ) it's eventually gonna rain 🌧 and flood it, r.i.p. to those people that lost their lives .

where is the ship with strange antennas?

There are far more dead than the 217 number given the enormity of the catastrophe and people getting caught by surprise.

Money allocated to the water infrastructure, sanitation in Spain over the years will be interesting to know. Nature is brutal, but so is politics and corruption.

A land may turn into a very different look the way it looks before .

This unexpected Phänomen and Szenario also happrned when entire Lahaina, which was a beautiful Tourist Attraction in Hawaii, was consumed by terrifying Fire . Many people burned to death .

SOME PEOPLE DIE IN FLOOD, SOME IN FIRE, AND SOME IN WAR.

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE COMING TIME MAY STILL BRING US.

WE CALL ON TO GOD WHILE DOING WHAT IS FAIR TO SELF AND OTHERS.

This is not due to climate change, as the climate changes all of the time.
