This is one thing that happens when cities lets greedy land developers build everywhere. Unlike when it was farmland the water has no place to go.

This is devastating for these people - I can't even imagine. Prayers for everyone impacted now, and for those in the path of upcoming floods.

The same is happening in southern Brazil. 83 dead, 111 missing. Never in recent history has there been so much rain (edit: in this region).

Good to see animals getting rescued

So glad people and their PETS are bring rescued. I remember seeing footage of people left behind on rooftops during Katrina because they refused to leave their pets behind. Great to see this.

My prayers to everyone in the path of this flood.

The river usually behaves, but sometimes the river wants to get out and take a look around the neighborhood😮

@arlenefox558 12 days ago

leaders who let developers build next to lakes and rivers are horrible. no care for any aftermath or suffering. literally suckered people into housing.
