Spanish flooding

[Magpie]

Following the deluge causing floods in Valentia the other day, they've been told to expect more. There are horrific stories of people being trapped and swept away. Not something we are used to seeing on this side of the world.

All to common over here. Been there done that. Flood is one of the very few reasons I would bug out.

I saw this pic yesterday. All the cars piled up after the water receded in one area. Water is powerful.

It's amazing watching the people of North Carolina pulling together to help each other! I wonder how Spain will handle their situation?

Water, heck, all of Mother Nature is nothing to mess with.

Terrifying, and not a single thing you can do about it, except get out of the way and head for high ground.

They sent in the army; and as there are a lot of Irish in the area the GAA (Irish football sporting group) they set up a go fund me and started collecting items for people. The radios here are a covering the situation a lot. They are again under a red rain warming, so people not previously affected (3km from the centre of the destruction everything is fine) have panicked, and there is little food and no bottled water to be got. Anyone who had any stash probably lost it.Also- relating to Morgans comment on higher ground, most of the people who got caught were trying to do that; as the Gov warning system told them to leave - but was late in telling them to stay indoors.
