i grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. As kids we were taught to never try to cross flooding rivers even via low water bridges. One of the busiest roads in Johannesburg has one that gets flooded regularly. Normally they are safe but can become very dangerous, very quickly with heavy rains.
Tragedies like this one is fully preventable specially when people that should know better do stupid things.

Oh, hey. Folks in the path of this soon-stalling monsoon maker might want to stay home tomorrow. I tried driving to Compaq in what was then called a 100-year flood. I barely got going when the freeway stalled. I took an offramp, and thought I'd check a frontage road that ran parallel to it. At an overpass, water sufficient to float cars was pooling. I gave up, called into work, and was fortunate to make it back home. A couple of blocks from my house, people were using rowboats to move around.

This sounds like one of those events is brewing for Friday. Stay weather aware! Don't get caught in traffic.

European State of the Climate 2025

Key Messages:
At least 95% of Europe experienced above-average annual temperatures in 2025.
A record three-week #heatwave affected sub-Arctic #Fennoscandia, with temperatures near to and within the Arctic Circle exceeding 30°C.

#Glaciers in all European regions saw a net mass loss, with #Iceland recording its second-largest glacier loss on record; snow cover was 31% below average; the #Greenland Ice Sheet lost 139 gigatonnes (139 billion tonnes) of ice.

The annual sea surface temperature for the European region was the highest on record, and 86% of the region experienced at least ‘strong’ marine heatwaves.

#Wildfires burnt around 1,034,550 hectares, the largest area on record.

#River flows were below average for 11 months of the year across #Europe, with 70% of rivers seeing below-average annual flows.

#Storms and #flooding affected thousands across Europe, though extreme #rainfall and flooding were less widespread than in recent years.

#Renewables supplied nearly half (46.4%) of Europe’s electricity in 2025, with solar power reaching a new contribution record of 12.5%.

#Biodiversity is vital for a sustainable future, but #ClimateChange is a major cause of its degradation. Climate change and biodiversity are strongly connected within European policy and frameworks.

Some good news: "McGhee believes this decision could affect more than just their clients in these communities. Because it was a federal case, he thinks it will set a national precedent for future flooding events, helping people not only in southeast Texas but across the country." https://abc13.com/amp/post/judge-sides-homeowners-impacted-downstream-addicks-barker-reservoirs-during-hurricane-harvey/18960522 #Houston #HTX #TX #Texas #flooding #HurricaneHarvey
