Spain braces for more storms as political fallout from floods continues
ai generated text
The recent flash floods in Spain, which resulted in over 200 deaths, are expected to be followed by severe weather conditions again. The area is bracing for another heavy rain front, with officials warning of severe impact due to the amount of mud already on the ground.
Later will come the political debate about what things we must improve in the face of this climate emergency.
We are placing sandbags to replace the floodgates that the previous floods tore down.
The danger is extreme. Waterways could overflow and there could be flooding. Exercise caution!
Two weeks ago, you were subjected to the test of your life in Valencia … You are responsible for the prevention, preparation and response on climate disasters and that's why I'm sure that history – and perhaps judges – will judge you for your inaction and your incompetence.
We're closely monitoring the new arrival of intense rains that have reached our country as the consequence of a new isolated depression at high levels.
There could be torrential rains on Wednesday in Mediterranean areas, especially in the provinces of Tarragona and Málaga, where red warnings have been issued, which mean the danger is extreme. Those areas could see more than 180 litres of water a square metre fall in fewer than 12 hours. But there could be very intense storms that could bring floods, so be very careful.
This is the new normal. Imagine what is in store in the coming decades, if we do not act swiftly and decisively. With every fraction of a degree of global warming, we face greater threats.
People are suffering in the shadows; they are dying in the dark.
