Today in #Bologna we are nearly in full #covid #lockdown remembrance day: all schools are closed, so the two children are forced to stay home, the parents have both to give online university teaching, we cannot go outside, the fridge is full.
What's missing?
Even novax are replaced almost 1-to-1 with #climatechange deniers and there are conspiracies already about the climate control by illuminati.

(at the moment though: persistent rain but no floods)

That's the time series of the small river next to us ("#Ravone"), it's rapidly rising, when this its the orange or worse the red line, there will be a flood of mud in the street 😩

@franco_vazza Whoa, stay safe! In bocca al lupo! Bologna had so much flooding the last years, kerping fingers crossed that you stay dry.

Like I posted yesterday, here the biggest danger comes from the small creeks and rivers, not the big ones. The latter are slowly changing and average out localized downpours. But the small ones can't, so are very susceptible to localized extreme weather.

And I think that is what you had,
