If you hate protesters blocking roads in the name of taking immediate #ClimateAction, you’re going to really hate how Climate Change itself blocks roads.

A picture today from Valencia, Spain where they received 500mm of rain, a year’s worth, in one day on Tuesday. >95 dead.

edit: More Pictures. Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. It affected towns just to the south (Sedavi) of it mainly as well as other areas of Southeast Spain.

A mass of cars piled on top of each other in a narrow street in Sedavi, Valencia, Spain from Wednesday October 30, 2024.
Another image of the same area. It appears to be the same street. A building to one side has “SEDAVI” written on it.

Just went and geolocated this picture for an after climate-disaster/before climate-disaster look on Google Maps. Map link below, the main highway V-30, that runs around the south side of the City of Valencia alonside the, often dry, riverbed of the Turia river. #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange #valencia #españa #valencia #cambioclimatico #climático

After the extreme rain events this is a picture from the El País newspaper showing a stretch of the V-30 that runs alongside the Turia river. The river is in full flood, very wide with brown turbulent water on the left. In the centre of the picture, the road is partially flooded and there are cars abandoned and debris overtop the road. A roadway sign stretches over the 4 lanes of traffic.
A google street view image reportedly taken in April 2024 shows the same stretch of road. The same roadsign is seen. The river is dry and flat and wide.

I geolocated the street where the cars are piled up to here:

Here is a before and after, in nearly the exact same perspective.
@Jade @danneau

A google street view of the affected street 35 Avinguda Gómez Ferrer in Sedavi, Valencia, Spain shows a quiet narrow street with cars parked along each side. A blue vertical sign is in the top right corner.
The same street with a mass of debris and cars and a man trying to walk over it all. The same blue tall sign is visible.
