this isn't about the dams, which, yes, they were full and were no doubt in less than ideal state of maintenance. the country has been troubled with religious and governance factionalism, military disharmony and a pretty poor economy.... but they've been managing.

the real problem is they received over 400mm of rain in 24 hours. unheard of, yes unprecedented even in a semi-arid coastal city and region. it was the strength of the storm that hit that is what has done the damage.

this is hard evidence of climate change when such a severe storm, almost a hurricane by the standards, but hurricanes are unheard of in the Mediterranean.

so switch yourself on zip and recognise the reality the world is facing..... do you have anything to say about the loss of ice in the Antarctic over winter?

As it moved towards Libya, Storm Daniel developed the characteristics of a Medicane - MEDIterranean hurriCANE. This hybrid phenomenon shows some characteristics of a tropical cyclone and others of a mid-latitude storm.
