Venice getting flooded 17/11/19 and I'm on holiday

[@d.tbichnga3448]

So fun. If I'm here I will walk all day in such water town. But living, I don't know how I get through. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@StallionFernando]

It's not an everyday thing, a handful of times a year which is manageable

[@robertbaxter4021]

The water looks quite clean. Not like the canals in England. If the canal in England flooded you would want that out of your property ASAP

[@alanjenko555]

the canals in Venice are far from clean. and a lot of them absolute stink because they are stagnant in the inner city canals

[@nonamenobody8590]

The water here looks black you can not see anything through it the water in Italy looks cleaner than some swimming pools

[@edholohan]

Look closer to see the floating dead rats in the canals and smell the horrible smell.

[@RealLordVoldemort]

Either you lack the knowledge or you're just delusional but canals are, most of the time, just long stretches of stagnant water. In any country, anywhere. Canals are pretty dirty in general

[@MrWolfSnack]

This was during the virus when everyone was locked down. There was no canal traffic so the water restored itself.

[@revinehd]

what's the price of the boots? and what is the price of the plastic item?

[@dirksnyman8231]

You can buy it in Venice at the small markets, it’s about 10$

[@InformedKiwi]

This flood is more a peak flood. With the new control gates flooding is less at peak. The flooding occurs over high tide then over half tide through low tide the water is gone. Don’t take the flood level in this vid as normal. I was in Venice October 2023 and the high tide flooding was only in St Marks Square and a little elsewhere

[@ninja-lo5er]

Dirk, you know if this will get better? I have a trip to venice on the 20th of December... Worried about these floods..

[@awootism]

[@ninja-lo5er]

@@awootism manageable haha quiet an experience! Had to download a "tide/flood" map.. it's only certain hours of the day..., too bad the girl I went with broke up with me a few weeks after. :(

The commentary and responses indicate that this is usual and just a little irritating. It was at the beginning but it turned into a catastrophe. The warning sirens only had the usual 4 levels but didn’t have any to indicate the severity of the flooding so people were not prepared . I was there at this time and life was disrupted in a major way with many businesses out of action produce ruined schools flooded and closed, libraries and universities books and facilities destroyed( volunteers used wheelbarrows to carry ruined books etc to the barges for dumping, houses flooded which meant no electricity no cooking facilities etc. It was not an inconvenience it was an economic and social disaster from the highest floods in memory. St Marks and many historic buildings were damaged .

[@wawawawan5614]

Lol in asia flooded is gross water when europa flood is clean

[@thejza9910]

Nah London’s canals are hella dirty

[@Chris-hp9be]

Venice canals are basically sea water since it’s literally built in a lagoon. It will be gross too if it is an inland flood

[@Urbancohort337]

What's with the trippy sounds at the beginning

[@dirksnyman8231]

That is a warning sound for the flood in the city

[@AndreiBerezin]

I aint seeing no Venice here, only the guy's bald head

[@overthenever4262]

Ah Venice

[@timecrook1003]

That place is gross. One big petri dish

[@dirksnyman8231]

It’s better when nobody wants to go because it floods 😂
