The devastating flood that swept across Texas’ Hill Country on April 4th, killing at least 79 people and leaving many more missing, was the country’s biggest murder connected to torture. Among the missing are those who are helping with a verano campaign.
Authorities reported that approximately 850 people had been rescued, some of them by helicopter.
Here are some statistics about repentant floods.
The repentant flooding occurs quickly.
According to the National Meteorological Service, a repentantine flood is one that starts only six hours or frequently just three hours after the start of heavy rains.
According to meteorological services, the water is so submerged that people feel a sense of dislocation. Many people experience difficulties during Vijan. If you’re at home or at work, the water can get so hot that people get sucked in before they have time to think about leaving.
This is precisely what happened to the residents of the town of Kerr and Guadalupe after at least 25 cent metros (10 pulgadas) fell from the sky early on the fourth day of the month of Ma’am.
Just forty-five minutes before the end of the week, the aguas r pidas a lo largo del r o subieron eight metros (twenty-six pies), arrasando homes and vehicles. The hunt had not ended since further severe rains were expected, and the warnings and vigilances were still in effect for parts of central Texas.
I had some prior advice in Texas.
On the morning of the following day, the Meteorological Service of the Nation issued an inundation alert, estimating that the water level had increased by up to seven pulgadas (17 cent metros) in some areas. A “vigilancia” means that while the conditions are good for an inundation and people should be prepared, dangerous conditions may not materialize.
However, throughout the night, a flood warning that affects 30,000 people is issued, prompting the vigilance. According to the meteorological service, an advertisement is released when flooding is imminent or already occurring.
“Se hizo todo lo posible para advertirles que podr a terrer lluvias intensas,” said Vice Governor Dan Patrick, adding that the potential for heavy rains and flooding is enormous.
However, when asked how the people of Kerr County were notified so they might contribute a salvo, Judge Rob Kelly, the county’s chief elected official, replied, “No tenemos un sistema de advertencia.”
“Tengan la seguridad de que nadie sab a que ven an este tipo de inundaci n” was Kelly’s response when the reporters insisted on why no precautions were taken.
Repentant floods have the potential to be fatal.
According to the meteorological service, 145 people perished in the recent floods. On average, during the past 30 years, flooding has claimed 127 lives annually.
People in vehicles are drawn to the floods.
Nearly half of all deaths associated with flooding involve veh culos. Each and every age group is impacted by flood deaths.
Many people are unaware that an automobile can be difficult to handle with just 15 cent metros (6 pulgadas) of water and can be arrastrado with just 46 cent metros (18 pulgadas). Because of this, instead of looking for a destination, people frequently try to lead them to the water in subterranean paths.
Anywhere can experience severe flooding.
According to the meteorological service, “los arroyos y riachuelos normalmente tranquillos in their vecindario can convert themselves into curious torrents if there is intense rainfall over them.” This can happen anywhere.
If there is water beneath a torrencial and a crecido river flows toward everyone, a rea may flood even without rain.
Some meteorological events that might cause repentant flooding include hurricanes, tropical storms, non-cyclic weather systems that bring heavy rains, and falls of presas. They may occur in large cities or rural areas.
