    Heavy flood, two dams collapsed in Libya.
    2000 reported dead.
    Another 10000 reported missing.

    Another calamity. Looks like death toll will go up quite a bit more.

      Wow.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Two sad disasters this week. This could stretch international aid organizations.

        I’ll wait till structural analysis of the dams takes place before blaming “Climate Change Induced MEGA-STORMS”…

          8000 dead. Morgues overwhelmed. Unbelievable.

            Climate disasters and white cops killing black men on video, are the two major driving forces of western politics.

            Education is extremely important.

                Absolutely horrific. 20K or more dead.

                It's hard to understand those numbers.

                  Apparently climate change forced the firm hired to repair and maintain one of the dams to abandon the project to abandon the dam in 2011.

                    Reminds me of how hard it was to grasp the death toll of the Sumatra tsunami in 2004 that killed like 230,000

                      This reminds me of the time Joe Biden’s subpump failed… Shag carpeting in the basement is NOT a good idea.
