This is terrifying đ˘
OMG...SERIOUSLY đŽUnbelievable
Floods are becoming the new normal
Future has arrived đ˘ My heart goes out to you! From Brazil, we just had horrible flooding here too
La Berarde, France; and Zermatt, Switzerland
When you build a village, itâs all about location, location location
God bless you.
Does anyone know if it's flooding at the same place or the same town as last year or the year before?
No, it never happened there before
We need more than stone or cement tunnels for the water to flow through. It needs to be absorbed into a swale somewhere.
youâre not addressing the root cause
On a mountain?
@@Silks-climate change is real but storm water in the mountains have always existed and there is almost nothing you can do to prevent it.
Once a cloud presses against the alps it gets squeezed like a sponge, put in a colder tempreture which adds to rain output from warm weather clouds and a prior heavy snow season and you see something like this.
We canât just scream climate change when itâs really just weather.
Just google storm water alpsâŚthis is a thing even pre industrial times.
It is actually quite usual in the alps.
Switzerland gets a lot of rain water. It doesnât rain more ofter by days then in other european countries but the volume is just much higher.
Or diverted to reservoirs somehow.
@@Slithermotion I partially agree.
I agree that it is something that has always happened, and always will.
I disagree that climate change has nothing to do with it. The atmosphere's now hotter, as are the oceans. This means more evaporation from bodies of water and also the atmosphere holds more moisture the hotter it gets. This creates more frequent and more severe weather events. Things are getting rapidly worse, in both severity and frequency, and is only going to get increasingly bad from now on too.
Your comment's dangerous because it implies everything is the same as it was. People need to realise it's getting worse so they can prepare for this. It's too late to stop the changes we've made, now we have to mitigate the effects as best we can.
With the right extreme rain conditions, pretty much anywhere that was formed by an alluvial flow is vulnerable to similar flooding. Yes, trolls and tin foil hat types, there have been 1000 year floods before. But their frequency is increasing.
And this year it appears that the frequency and intensity of tornadoes and hurricanes in North America are also increasing. Last summer many cities in the U.S. experienced more hot days than the summer before. If this summer is even worse then it becomes something to worry about. Yet worry is not enough. Action is required.
â@@rr7fireflyabsolute nonsense. Do some research into the past. You're talking about weather, not the climate
It so enjoyable to watch how the Nature works.
đđđ
France alps??
She said French Alps
so they have experienced it in the past, it wasn't the first time. Looks like the housings are just in the pathway of the previous water flow. Just building a dam/bridge isn't going to hold the force of nature.
we never learn do we, common sense has gone in this world. what do the people expect they live in a flood plain baffles my mind this world đ¤ˇââ
cope đ yeah yeah this is totally normal, definitely nothing to do with climate change.
@magesalmanac6424 It has everything to do with climate change. The floids before were totally manageable. I've been going there for almost 50 years and one of the main glaciers is about half of what it used to be then.
Would it be helpful to have autonomous quad copter fly in and out quickly to rescue people (I guess it really need 5G or 6G wireless to be safe and responsive, should remote pilot needed or required)?
