TODAY IN SPAIN!

The northern Spanish city of Zaragoza was inundated by a heavy downpour in less than 20 minutes. The fire brigade had to rescue desperate people from their cars.

FLASH FLOODING IN US!

Doing a very quick search, I found more than TEN instances of flash flooding in the US within the past 24 hours.

I've included a few pictures.

Flash flooding occurred from the West to the East coast.

@Free_Press 😱 omg that's terrifying.
@Spiritech I hope those poor people were able to be saved. Absolutely frightening.

@Free_Press who in that position decides the safest place is on the roof of the car?
@Steveb @Free_Press My stepdaughter couldn't open the doors of her car after going off an embankment into a raging river. She also tried opening (electric, nonfunctioning) windows and kicking out the windshield before she drowned. There is a new guard rail now where she went off the road in the rainstorm. Being able to get out of a car in raging water is essential.
@opalmirror @Free_Press that is a fair point. I did not much buy the others, but I can see how getting stuck in the car is a big risk. I hadn’t considered that.
@Free_Press Oh shit. No time at all for a warning? To be in those cars must've been horrifying.
@Free_Press And some say climate change isn’t real…
@Free_Press Cars damage the climate and then the climate damages cars....
@Free_Press flash floods are terrifying. How quickly water can get to push cars aside.
@Free_Press Damn, that’s awful. I was led to think that it rained there mainly on the plain.
@aethervision I think I just heard a distant comedy drum roll.. Lol. Thank you for your comment aethervision!
@Free_Press
Espero que no haya habido muertos en Zaragoza por esta inundación repentina
@Free_Press a friend just told the bold guy is one of his colleagues 😳

@Free_Press

Climate change cannot be more real and frightening than this….
