>>214633227Youre a mountainoid. You don’t have droughts
cats and dogs dont fall out of the sky like water
>>214633306It’s a southern slope thougheverAnd arid alpine climates exist, such as in Nevada and Arizona
>>214633227My part of Sweden has been hit by a severe rainstorm in the last 48 hours causing mass flooding, mudslides and a complete shutdown of all traffic, trains and parts of the electrical grid. Over 30 major roads are gone, hundreds of smaller roads gone, trains have derailed, tracks have been ruined, bridges washed away. And the weather isn't over yet, it's moving north. On the upside, I was told earlier from my boss that we've got the week off with full pay because nobody can get to work. Downside, I am currently stuck at home and have no way of getting into town and traffic is estimated to be down for weeks. https://swedenherald.com/article/norrland-coast-rainstorm-leaves-roads-washed-away-and-residents-strandedhttps://swedenherald.com/article/flooding-on-e4-in-harnosand-causes-major-traffic-disruptionsA train carrying ammunition and lithium derailed as well. So that's fun. https://swedenherald.com/article/road-conditions-warning-in-vasternorrland-after-snowfall
>>214633682I was gonna visit my grandma this weekend.. Fuck my life.
>>214633682>>214633778Woah, didn’t know that, my commiserations.Hopefully nobody got hurt
>>214633935Two people in the hospital after driving into picrel when the road washed away last night. Only reported injuries so far but the grid is down in big parts of the area so it's impossible to tell so far.
>>214633227>raining cats and dogsNever seen such.But it's been raining almost everyday for the past 2 weeks here.
>>214633682Similar shit happens here sometimes. At least no villages and towns were flown away, right?
>>214634096No, just infrastructure so far. No reports of destroyed homes or anything.
Update: Over a 1000 lightning strikes have killed additional grids in the area. Possible blackout incoming. And SMHI (the national weather agency) has declared a yellow warning in the entire region (flood level rain, extreme thunder).
>>214634249Wow.I wonder had anyone spotted a lightning ball.
>>214634296I always wanted to see one of those. Also, now it's hailing outside. Sounds like my roof is getting smashed with rocks.
>>214634375Damn, we usually get something like this in July, when it's hot where I live. So some big storms come.Now it's just alright.
>>214634411Sweet. I love autumn weather. Did not expect this storm to hit us.
>>214633227Yep, several inches of rain in ten days as oppose to about 3 inches over the entire summer here, you can just see everything coming back to life
>>214634020OuchGet well soon, Sweden, you’re my favourite country no cap ong
>>214633227it has rained throughout all of August
