Flash flood in St Louis

Below are some pictures and videos from this week’s flash flood in the area. Quote the last article (the last tweet) written by Mr. Tony Messenger. “These sure the hell aren’t 100-year floods,” Criss says. “They’re like two-year floods. It’s staggering.” || We were not flood, but I know some people were impacted or lost car or belongings (their house or apartment were flooded).

I think for us we still start from baby steps: not buying bottled water for example. I think #ClimateChange #Environment issues are like #Pandemic: it takes us all to make it work. We cannot blame others, and we cannot solely rely on Bill Gates / Warren Buffet.

Kirkham and Elm in Webster Groves is flooded. Black car managed to get out but flash flooding is no joke here. Just about .2 miles from where it flooded Tuesday morning. #mowx #stlwx pic.twitter.com/TbqLALcdWs

This, almost unbelievably, was Deer Creek surging through Brentwood/Webster Groves (Mo.) in the wake of the all-time record rainfall of 7/26/22. #stlwx pic.twitter.com/wwp5WbYj2k

Dear St. Louis: please, when the next developer comes to the next local municipality promising sales tax nirvana if only he can raise some land out of the flood plain, remember July 2022. There is a better way and we have been ignoring it for too long. https://t.co/FNveqSiwiY
