   Another day, another "a year's worth of rain fell in one day" unexpected flood. This time in Valencia, Spain.

     @SallyStrange There have been floods like this across Spain and the rest of Europe since the spring, they just don't get reported. I counted 49 individual events and 12 ongoing ones across the world, just in September.

     @SallyStrange Last year in our autonomous region (Valencian Country) we lost the progressive government and enter a coalition of conservatives and fascists. The regional president, Carlos Mazón, dismantled the Valencian Emergency Unit, arguing that was an unnecessary waste of money. 9 million euros were invested there. Then, he spent 17 million in shitty bullfighting events. This was one of the requests of his fascist climate-change deniers partners. This is incredibly disgusting

     @SallyStrange The fucking moron of the regional chief of emergencies, instead of being at the first line of the command and control emergency room, was in a reunion with some disgusting bullfighting event dude. That's fucking obscene and outrageous.

     @SallyStrange We recieved the emergency warning at 20:00. The rivers and creeks were flooding since hours ago, and hundreds of people were at this time trapped. No previous warning to evacuate areas or working places.

     @SallyStrange 92 of our people dead now, and increasing. The regional far-right government dismantled last year the Valencian Emergency Unit, that was created by the former progressive government in our autonomous region, the Valencian Country. Also, the national Meteorological Agency warned about the DANA and heavy storms, but the regional autorities didn't call the military emergency units and the help from the national government until 21:00 h.
