RE: [Discussion Post] What unusual weather stories do you have?

in #weather4 years ago

Hi! Thanks for this discussion!

In fact we had a big weather disaster almost 2 years ago. As you might know, we live in Mallorca, in Europe. In the fall of 2018, local thunder and rainfall has caused immense flooding which killed eventually 10 people. Among the victims were a couple of kids from the same household.

Tom has helped the fire brigade in the aftermath to help locate missing people, but didn't find anyone. As mud had completely cover the entire area. They eventually found everyone, also the little boy who he has been help finding. He still talks about the smell of death animals and the hope that the smell came from the missing boy. How strange this may sounds, but after days in the heat (it was still 30' Celcius) you just want to find it to give the rest of the family closure.

The area that was hit the hardest was the birthplace of the famous tennis player Rafael Nadal. He also came to ground zero to help clean the mess.

Here is a short video about the disaster:

Here they still speak of 8 confirmed death as the missing boy (8) and a cab driver is not found yet. RIP
