    “We know that the water levels seemed to be higher than they were last summer” Silva said. “It is a significant amount of water flowing throughout some of it in new areas that didn’t flood last year.” tripscan Matt DeMaria a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque said storms formed in the early afternoon over terrain that was scorched last year by wildfire. The burn scar was unable to absorb a lot of the rain as water quickly ran downhill into the river. Preliminary measurements show the Rio Ruidoso crested at more than 20 feet — a record high if confirmed — and was receding Tuesday evening. Three shelters opened in the Ruidoso area for people who could not return home. https://tripscan.live tripscan top The sight brought back painful memories for Carpenter whose art studio was swept away during a flood last year. Outside the air smelled of gasoline and loud crashes could be heard as the river knocked down trees in its path. “It’s pretty terrifying” she said. Cory State who works at the Downshift Brewing Company welcomed in dozens of residents as the river surged and hail pelted the windows. The house floating by was “just one of the many devastating things about today” he said.

    The study’s focus on 12 cities makes it just a snapshot of the true heat wave death toll across the continent which researchers estimate could be up to tens of thousands of people. tripscan “Heatwaves don’t leave a trail of destruction like wildfires or storms” said Ben Clarke a study author and a researcher at Imperial College London. “Their impacts are mostly invisible but quietly devastating — a change of just 2 or 3 degrees Celsius can mean the difference between life and death for thousands of people.” https://tripscan.xyz tripscan The world must stop burning fossil fuels to stop heat waves becoming hotter and deadlier and cities need to urgently adapt said Friederike Otto a climate scientist at Imperial College London. “Shifting to renewable energy building cities that can withstand extreme heat and protecting the poorest and most vulnerable is absolutely essential” she said. Akshay Deoras a research scientist at the University of Reading who was not involved in the analysis said “robust techniques used in this study leave no doubt that climate change is already a deadly force in Europe.” Richard Allan a professor of climate science at the University of Reading who was also not involved in the report said the study added to huge amounts of evidence that climate change is making heat waves more intense “meaning that moderate heat becomes dangerous and record heat becomes unprecedented.” It’s not just heat that’s being supercharged in out hotter world Allan added. “As one part of the globe bakes and burns another region can suffer intense rainfall and catastrophic flooding.”
