In Australia, there is a HUGE advertising campaign every year demanding that you never drive into flood waters. No matter how well you know your vehicle or the road, "If it's flooded, Forget it!". Those train tracks and the roads are why. It may look like the road keeps going and everything is fine, however, I have personally seen entire Big Rig trucks disappear into "potholes" created by Flood Waters. Brave people driving past me while I tried to wave them down and it was the last thing they ever did.

[@TekkWolf]

In Australia they also put you into concentration camps for getting sick.. so.. maybe don't bring up Australia.😂

We do the same down in Texas..."turn around, don't drown".

Montpelier floods regularly often in spring when snow melt causes ice jams on the Winooski River. The village of Ludlow is in a narrow valley with several streams and a river flowing through. There is just no place for the water to go and because it is mountainous here there is no way to stop the flow of water down to the villages. Canals and levees work in flat areas but not here

The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens. He has made the earth by His power, He has established the world by His wisdom, And has stretched out the heavens at His discretion. When He utters His voice, There is a [c]multitude of waters in the heavens: And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, He brings the wind out of His treasuries. Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge; Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image; For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them. They are futile, a work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish. The Portion of Jacob is not like them, For He is the Maker of all things, And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; The Lord of hosts is His name.

More extreme weather from climate change. What could each of us do about it? Going vegan is the single most effective way for each of us to minimize our environmental footprint. "According to the most comprehensive analysis of farming’s impact on the planet, plant-based food is most effective at combatting climate change. Oxford University researcher Joseph Poore, who led the study, said adopting a vegan diet is “the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth.” “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use. It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he explained, which would only reduce greenhouse gas“Avoiding consumption of animal products delivers far better environmental benefits than trying to purchase sustainable meat and dairy,” he added.”. -Joseph Poore, Environmental Science Researcher, University of Oxford. Joseph Poore switched to a plant based diet after seeing the results of the study. Links at my channel under "About."
