It is very sad to think that we, the humans, are destroying our paradise in this universe. God gave us earth with everything balanced, but we are destroying the ecosystem without thinking that the upheavel would lead us to extinction

I agree @joanstewart, flooding is become very widespread and a lot of damage and deaths.  No country seems to be missing out.  Goodness, doesn't  it take a long time to recover.  Brisbane is still full of dirt and rubble etc, my sister said the smell of the Brisbane River going down was terrible.  We had drenching rains a few weeks ago when there was low pressure trough and on a positive note the heavy rain cleaned the streets.

Hello Joan

It is so unfortunate all that has happened. I hope that recovery will not be long in coming. Hopefully, people and authorities will understand that they should not try to get in the way of nature. Constructions on riverbeds and streams are also frequent in my country, with the corresponding tragedies. Lately, there have been no regrets. In the last few years, rains have not been as intense as they used to be, but that has brought different problems.

I hope you and your family are well and have not been too affected by the ravages of the cyclone. 🤗

This was a horrific event indeed! Thank you for sharing all the stats in your post.

But a special thank you for also showing the positives out of negative situations. When reading this, I could not help but be reminded about how nature started a healing process in many places after being hit by lockdown during the outbreak of the Covid Pandemic. How marine life started thriving on some of the coral reefs, and how the water cleared in places like Venice, to name but a few...

>Different continents going through exactly the same, time to stop and rethink how humans are treating Mother Earth, no more talk, action is needed!

This is so true! I agree with you 100%!

 

hello dear friend @joanstewart good afternoon Excellent post; This is one of those articles that everyone should read; what is happening in the world is terrible, and it is incredible that we do nothing to start the change; all change depends on each one of us
I take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful afternoon

This is what we get if our natural environment is not preserved, having it prioritize with proper planning where to build and not build, where to deforest and not to. Nature's wrath will show up every now and again until we learn to appreciate it. 

Since quite a while Mother Nature is angry on us, we shouldn't go where we aren't meant to go or live. I hope that the government does it right this time, like you say, to avoid such sad numbers in future.

The rains were causing havoc here too. 
It is really time to step up do something about it - each and every one of us
Little by little even if it is only that

The world sure does have a lot in store for us as 'everything change' kicks in (I don't use the term 'climate change' anymore - more than the climate will change!

When disaster strikes, there is so much damage done as well as so much suffering.

I can't even imagine what these people must be going through.  My heart and prayers go out to them all.

>time to stop and rethink how humans are treating Mother Earth, no more talk, action is needed!

Unfortunately, we have been warned about this for over 50 years yet have done nothing. Prince Charles talked about this in his first speech about hw we are destroying the environment in 1970. Him and others like him were ridiculed for years.

Progress in building housing and infrastructure is about profit and never gave two hoots about the lay of the land, and destroyed vast habitats in every country.

Houses built in known flood zones/ fire areas, it just gets me mad and has done for years.

I hope you are okay, I have lived through two hurricanes in Florida and know the instant devastation nature can bring.

The two years of Covid lockdowns gave the planet a chance to breathe a little but we back at it, destroying it faster and faster.

I despair, as an intelligent race, our intelligence leaves a lot to be desired.

I was wondering about all the wildlife. Loved the two videos and what a shame about the washed up crocodile. The monekys I presume will be doing a lot of pilfering in houses trying to get food.

Stay safe and I hope things improve and people do listen to what our planet is telling us.
