Terrible climate change problems..Tuesday was a disaster in Istanbul, the city of 12 milllion people
Just within 2 hours my city received a very dense rain and within this 2 hours some parts of the city received a total of 9 months rain...so we had a real flood in a business district of the city plus some summer house areas...Total loss of 31 people...It was terrible, we saw it live on TV the trucks and busses were floodding just like toycars...
Currently, for tomorrow theres again a flood alarm, this time at the anatolian side..first wave hit the european side...
Im 34 and never ever seen just a terrible rain it was as if in istanbul we were having musoon rains...31 lives lost and lots of damage in terms of housing and commerce
Personally thank you very much Moi for ur special interest...
If we continue to consume the nature and earth like this, unfortunately we will be experiencing more of those in different places of earth
