    It caught my attention the number of traumatised pets. Dogs swimming in the air after being rescued, holding onto volunteers legs refusing to let go... It's heartbreaking.

This disaster occured by El Niño effects plus excessive heat concentrated at the certer of the country. The rain didn't move up the country and all the water dropped in Rio Grande do Sul.

    I know that being a help to those in need is a noble cause but there is something to be said for sticking to what you have started and keeping faith with all those that have supported you through that hard journey to get that good at what you do. There will be many floods to help with but this only happens once for you. Tough decision.

    Dengue was basically unknown at Rio Grande do Sul state until a few years ago. All local cases were actually imported. People who had contracted it in Rio de Janeiro or other states to the north.
    The dengue mosquito would die because the eggs hatched because the weather would be too cold for them around the time of hatching.
    No more.
    Btw, the weather was sunny but also temperatures got much colder. Half of the state had frost this morning. It's expected, since it's only 1 month before winter.

      Não é sobre selfie para se promover, é sobre registrar o momento que não está sendo nada fácil para os que estão lá. E mostrar para os que não estão próximos compreenderem o tamanho da tragédia, provavelmente ele tem bastante seguidores, sendo assim consegue mais doações se mostrando presente. Usar a influencia pro bem não é algo para criticarmos. Então não devemos julgar quem está ajudando, independente se fez selfie ou não.

      no. No cloud seeding. Metereologists were already warning of the high chance for floods because of the HUGE, high pressure dry and hot air mass over central Brazil, acting like a wall to the "flying river" that comes down from the Amazon (as it always has, but it never got blocked over a single state like that)

    • @andersonbnufalify
      @andersonbnufalify 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Dengue is a prevalent disease in most tropical countries. The virus requires mosquitoes to transmit it to humans, and these mosquitoes thrive in warm, stagnant waters, where they lay their eggs. Consequently, mosquito populations can multiply rapidly in such conditions. Catastrophic flooding exacerbates the situation by creating numerous breeding sites, further increasing the risk of dengue outbreaks.
