Floods and deluges. Are these natural disasters or the beginning of the end of the world?
According to the Bible, humanity has already perished as a result of the Global Flood. The ancient Maya also said that the first earthly civilization, the "Fifth Sun," also perished as a result of a severe flood. Who knows, maybe another world cup awaits us once again, besides, the prerequisites already exist.
We will not delve far into history, but simply analyze the events that took place not so long ago.
In January 2011, the entire world community was shocked by the events taking place in southeastern Brazil. The number of victims was more than five hundred people. There were not enough places in the morgues, and many of the dead had to be buried without identification.
Soon, big water came to Australia. The country had to go through one of the worst and most devastating floods in the last hundred and twenty years. Fifteen people became victims of the flood, twelve thousand houses and more than two thousand businesses were flooded.
Australia had no time to recover from the shock when torrential rains hit it in March of the same year. They marched for ten days and caused another flood on the east coast. Twenty-five centimeters of precipitation fell in the country in a few days, thousands of houses were flooded, and hundreds of residents were evacuated.
The flood in Germany has been declared the flood of the century. More than thirty settlements, along with streets, houses and historical centers, went under water. There were also casualties.
Terrible floods have reached Sri Lanka. Heavy precipitation and water escaping from reservoirs caused massive landslides. As a result, about fifty people died, and the damage caused by the disaster was estimated at five hundred million dollars.
A lot of water came to Bolivia and Peru. As a result of heavy rains, rivers overflowed their banks, flooding towns and villages, washing away roads and rendering agricultural land unusable. Ten thousand people were left homeless.
Rains have fallen on most of the South American country of Colombia. More than a billion agricultural lands were under water, dozens of roads and bridges fell into disrepair, thousands of cattle and more than half a million chickens died. More than four hundred and fifty people became victims, and the total number of victims exceeded 3.4 million.
In China, heavy rains caused the water level in rivers to rise, flooding roads, towns and agricultural land. Powerful streams of water demolished houses, statues, power poles and other vulnerable structures.
The United States did not escape the floods either. The Mississippi River flood was caused by heavy rains and spring floods. Experts called it the largest in the last few decades. Extensive farms, hundreds of administrative buildings and residential buildings were in the flood zone. More than twenty-five thousand people were evacuated from disaster areas.
The summer of this year, 2019, turned out to be even more "generous" with floods - floods did not abate in most of the territory of our vast country - from Moscow to Siberia. Entire villages were under water, along with people and their belongings. The houses were literally floating on overflowing rivers.
As we can see, floods are increasingly becoming the cause of disasters. And note that we have now listed only the most famous cases, but the number of floods around the world is much higher! It is possible that soon the water will cover all continents with its head. Promotions at 1xbet are available to all registered players. Simply claim any bonus and meet the required conditions.
