#flodding

[bumblebeeappletree]

After a flash flood that sent dead rats floating through the streets of Copenhagen, the city began reimagining itself. Away from concrete and asphalt and towards softer, “spongier” settlements that work with the natural flow of the water cycle. With cloudbursts increasing in intensity because of climate change, many cities from Beijing to Chennai are trying this too - and Copenhagen offers some good lessons.

For Anyone Who Needs It

So with all of these natural disasters occurring in America, South America, and ALL over the world I know a lot of people are concerned, worried, frightened, etc about what might happen no matter where they live.

I'm opening up my DMs and ask box to anyone that needs to vent about their worries or have someone to talk to if you were affected or not. I'm here for you and I wish I could help more, unfortunately my current life position isn't allowing me too.

Please message me if you need anything, I'm here for anyone in this time of need. Ily

Welp our Cellar got flodded today. Worked the past hours to get a part of the Water, wet and broken Stuff upstairs to either throw away or put it out to dry. At least it won't rain in the next days.

I also got tomorrow a day off from my Boss, so that I can keep helping from cleaning out the Cellar.

bro they can't leave. They're stranded . That's the whole deal

Well the cnn article states that some left by hiking to the main road where a driver they hired beforehand picked them up so it's not impossible(?)

But yeah most of them probably can't leave, I think you're right on this one

The 1947 Almonte Flood

The 1947 Almonte Flood

April 1947 The Thobum Woollen Mills closed down at noon, Tuesday, owing to flood water from the river making it impossible to operate the boiler. It is not expected that the plant will be able to reopen for at least nine days. The level of the Mississippi River is higher than for many years but so far the Thobum mill is the only industry to be affected by this factor. The enforced holiday will…

Six-fold increase in polar ice losses since 1990’s

Greenland and Antarctica are both tracking the IPCC's worst-case climate warming scenario. Left unchecked, this will lead to an extra seventeen centimetres of sea level rise by 2100.

Professor Shepherd said: “Every centimetre of sea level rise leads to coastal flooding and coastal erosion, disrupting people’s lives around the planet.

“If Antarctica and Greenland continue to track the worst-case climate warming scenario, they will cause an extra 17 centimetres of sea level rise by the end of the century.

“This would mean 400 million people are at risk of annual coastal flooding by 2100.

Dear Ellen, I'm writing to you because I know you have a kind heart so I hope you will help us. 3 days ago major floods appeared in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. River Bosnia and river Sava flooded areas around its banks and now the situation is getting worse. Thousands of people are in danger, some of them drowned because the water is getting into their houses, hundreds of animals drowned too. In some places and villages there is no longer water but major diseases will apear soon. Snakes and rats appeared, the water moved a field full of mines and a lot of houses are demolished. I hope that this message will get to you and that many other people will see it because we NEED your help!!!

Please click this link and let it be seen. It's a catastrophe, thousants of people lost their homes. Everything people gave their whole lives to is now gone.Whole families lost their homes. Not to even mention that it caused minefields to moved in a unexpected manner and literally no one is safe. Maybe, if We get Ellen to see this she could help out a bit and any help is welcome.
