      I live in the USA I'm helping 6 families in Palestinian right now what are you doing???
      Also remember when countries are faced with war and hunger they come to the USA as illegal immigrants we're have a major crisis right now from the staggering amount of people from all over the world cause the US citizens taxpayers to take care of them while some are committing Horrendous crime like SA, robbery, damage homeowners property, looting business, stabbing, squatting, and murder

    My deepest sympathies to the victims of these flash floods. They are one of the risks of a Mediterranean climate, we have them here in California, too. A few years ago we had them when we got an incredible 22 inches of rain in 8 hours. An arid or semi-arid landscape can’t possibly absorb that, especially after our long, dry summers. I hope the government will provide plenty of financial help to those affected. Of course, nothing can replace the lost lives, I’m so sorry.

      God IS SOVEREIGN AND HE IS IN CONTROL of the weather. How does it feel like for colonizers, invaders and thieves of Africa's wealth for centuries like Spain and France Europeans to be judged by God?
      They're helping fake Israel in occupied Palestine to STEAL lands in the Middle East when they know that caucasian "white" JEWISH people in occupied Palestine are imposters wicked identity thieves and they have no biological lineage to the 12 Tribes of Israel in the Bible. The colonizers know that the Bloodline Ethnicity inheritance Israelites YAHUDIM descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel in the Bible ARE STILL ALIVE Today BLACK RACE of People.
      Why are the colonizers not fighting for Black People? God IS A Righteous Judge AND HE IS NOT A Respector of Persons. God IS NOT MOCKED and Nobody can deceive God. Sorry for those who died in the floods but remember that God IS SOVEREIGN AND HIS ways of doing things are different from human beings ways and thinking. Read the Bible book of Prophet Yashayahu Isaiah chapter 55 vs 8. God IS IN CONTROL of WORLD EVENTS and PROPHECIES.

      Sorry to burst your bubble - and hello from Valencia capital - this happens every October, we call it La Gota Fria, and every so often it falls with particular violence and power. My father learnt to swim in the Rio Turia which used to be quite spectacular, like the Seine or Thames (smaller and much older in terms of bridges, Valencia was settled 200 years before London) but now its called the river gardens because in 1957 it spilled over into the heart of the city, taking lives and buildings. It was diverted. Go back further and again, another gigantic catastrophic flooding.
      Not so long ago, people came to the city in boats, like the ones in Venice, water surrounded the city. Now they are farmlands.
      Heavy rains and flooding happens every year at roughly the same time - October -.

      Exactly, post the Kyoto summit 1997. British TV produced a forensic documentary examining in detail the future prospects for the planet. Interviewing scientists producing weather models etc.
      The ratio of the documentry, if the planet warmed 1.5 degrees by 2050 it would mean disaster.
      Nothing has been done because the people holding the reigns of power put money first. Alternately, they want to become the dominant force on the planet ( ie China , India et al ).

    For American viewers, Spain's king's power is symbolic. His role is neutral and apolitical. Spain's political leader is Pedro Sanchez, a prime minister. His title is Presidente del Gobierno (President of the Government). The prime minister is democratically elected by the Spanish Parliament, which is itself elected by universal suffrage, free and equal. Voters must be Spanish citizens, 18 years of age, be registered on the Padron of the place where they live, be included in the current Census, and have formally declared the wish to vote. Spain has four main parties. There are 122 registered political parties operating in Spain.

      This has been happening in the same areas for centuries and you can’t divert such heavy rainfall. Have you been to Florida? They have loads of money and can do NOTHING against the hurricanes. The force of nature cannot be stopped with cash human invention. I saw lorries flying through the air earlier this morning. Hurricane winds and tornadoes….there is no amount of infrastructure that can stop this kind of power.
      The river Turia which used to run round the Capital city, a hundred yards from where I now sit, was blocked and diverted up river and up mountain after the floods of 1957 which covered almost the entire city.
      It happened again in 1982 (Tous). These lands were once covered in water, people used to come into the city from villages by boats, like the ones in venice, some with sails.
      We have to wait for the water to run away down to the sea. I doubt we will get much aid. Many of the victims of the 1982 breaking of the Tous dam still haven’t received the promised compensation, some have died waiting. Von der Leyen takes all our money and destroys our agricultural sector.

    There is a very well documented history (especially since the 14th century) of extremely heavy flooding in the Valencia area ever since the city's founding by the ancient Romans 2200 years ago. The previous severe flooding event in the area (causing over 80 fatalities) occurred on 14 October 1957 and is known as the Great Flood of Valencia: following that latest repeated devastating flood, Franco ordered the southward diversion of the Turia River to reduce the impact of future heavy flooding on the city of Valencia and that work was completed in the late '60s. (One can only guess at the likely INCREASED level of damage and fatalities of the current flood event had that diversionary work NOT been completed).
    The area of Valencia lies on the coast at sea level and is almost completely surrounded by higher ground. It is effectively a flood plain for the (historically notorious) Turia River.
    A short academic paper titled *"Increased risk of flooding on the coast of Alicante
    (Region of Valencia, Spain)"* published in 2010 addresses the huge levels of property development and consequent population increases in the area and how that exacerbates flood risks and flood outcomes. The concluding paragraphs of the paper make for some very sobering (and arguably predictive) reading indeed.

    Note to the deleted comment: the pronunciation is almost exactly the same in all the western Catalan and "Comunidad Valenciana" dialects. From the Pyrenees and Andorra to far South of Alacant, Guardamar (in Spanish is Alicante).
    Despite some current territorial authorities do not want to recognize Catalan and Valencian are the same language (They are only 2 different names for the same language).
