RE: After the Rainfall

in #nature7 years ago (edited)

Taking a nap near a flooding river... That seems pretty scary to me:(

But for sure very romantic. You see, the reaction of people to heavy rainfall really depends on the region where people live.

In the place were I used to live before (it's Minsk, Belarus), we never had the issue of draughts. We had enough rainfall, so the flooding was the kind of the issue that occurred from time to time.

The worst thing about the flood was indeed the property damage. Some parts of the city of Minsk are lower than the other and a lot of water can gather at such low areas. That would mean that is someone had parked his or her car there, after about an hour of thunderstorm the engine of the car would be completely covered with water.
Which is a horrible thing for the car, water damage is pretty expensive to repair.

Here is a picture of such area of Minsk and how it looks like after the flood (I think this picture was taken back in 2009):

Although I feel very sorry for all those car owners, there are still people who get to enjoy themselves on such a day :)

There were flood in Korea before
But climate seemed to be changed.
thank you for your comment

Actually I recall seeing on the news something about the floods in Korea not that long ago, maybe around a year ago. I quite vividly remember seeing pictures of landslides.

Yes, I've just Googled it, as it appears there were floods last October which left 32 people dead. That's very tragic.
