24 Hours of Liquid Death
Floods from the past day alone
These videos are from the past 24 hours. One day of unimaginable destruction around the planet...unimaginable, until it happens to you.
To the doubters, I get it - floods happen. But highly damaging floods are happening more frequently. We've barely kissed 1.5 degrees and destruction is noticeably accelerating.
For the time-being, we can recover. However, costly attempts to rebuild infrastructure will eventually prove pointless as it is torn down repeatedly.
Even if you don't live in a flood-prone area, this affects you. Flooded crops decimate food production. Money spent on repairing infrastructure means less money for healthcare. Desperate populations who have lost everything will seek new places to live. This affects us all.

Absolutely stunning video of one of today's waterspouts in front of the Capo di Leuca area of Apulia. Imagine having such a thing slowly meandering in front of your window for five minutes. Video by Elena Severino.

Bomba d'acqua a Pitigliano, in provincia di Grosseto. Crollato un muro nel centro storico, strade trasformate in torrenti. Prolungata l'allerta meteo per tutta la giornata di domani. #IoSeguoTgr @TgrRai pic.twitter.com/rjF4bDDNah

INCREDIBLE video from Southbury Plaza, where a man was trapped in his car with his dog. He had a prosthetic leg and a Good Samaritan was able to rescue him and the dog, bringing them to higher ground. Thanks to Tania for sharing with us. pic.twitter.com/C6iFCnskqU
