How bad is it? In germany cars swam, several people died.
- dan-robertson 5y agoI don’t think many people will die (if anyone). The video in the article had a few people who either abandoned their cars or foolishly drove them deeper on flooded roads. The flooded underground stations look scary. I just don’t know how good we are about draining stations/tunnels/preventing flooding there (once upon a time, there were floodgates at the doors to the platform at stations near tunnels under the Thames but I don’t think they are operational at all.) The flooding is less bad than flooding in Germany (something like 10-00 dead? Many evacuated or disrupted) and much less bad than in zhengzhou (likely over 10k but obviously government trying to cover it up.)
