Not bad. One-half second exposure at 105mm, hand-held! But what was bad was there were a bunch of people on the Animas River bridge near my home in Aztec who are teaching their kids that it's OK to disobey police lines. The police had put up yellow "Police Line Do Not Cross" tape on the far end of the bridge due to the flooded park. Literally everyone, adults and kids, crossed the line. You couldn't go more than 50 feet further because of the flood waters. 🫤 6/x #Flood #River #NewMexico

Nice, the City of Aztec just sent out a message that we need to avoid flushing and using water because the sewer pant has been shutdown due to the ongoing Animas River flood. They haven't issued a boil water order yet, but I think I'll go buy some water, just in case. 7/x #Flood #River #NewMexico

The results, from a study published in Scientific Reports, also indicate that the total area covered by buildings within potential flood zones increased by approximately 45% between 2016 and 2023.

Almost 300,000 people now live in flood‑prone areas in the Nepalese Himalayas—new research

On Aug. 26, a rock and ice avalanche triggered a huge flood that swept through a steep valley in Nepal, leaving thousands dead and missing. It was an extreme example of a growing problem across the Himalayas. As glaciers melt, glacial lakes expand and mountain permafrost thaws, the risks from floods, landslides and other high-mountain hazards are increasing. At the same time, more people and infrastructure are moving into the valleys where these hazards are most likely to strike.
