If you hate protesters blocking roads in the name of taking immediate #ClimateAction, you’re going to really hate how Climate Change itself blocks roads.

@camerondotca they have some key city infrastructure (zoo, science and art centre, etc) within that former river bed. Very interested to know how it is doing now!

@chris we went to Barcelona, Madrid and there. All three were so different.

@camerondotca YES! Very different places. All with their own charms. My father was born in Valencia so it's got a special spot in my heart!

@daniele_Hesse solid goal.

@chris Traveling with our goth/trans kid their review was "pretty, and 50% less hate crimey than Barcelona downtown!" The mercato there is astounding and the silk trading building? The fluted columns! * swoon *

@camerondotca ha! awesome. Yes, I have a picture from the market from 2003 as the lockscreen on my iPhone! Incredible. And the architecture is just amazing. Some of the Moorish building that has survived combined with later periods, wonderful stuff.

@chris Yeah, that is something I like about places with older history: turn a corner and you're like "oh, Roman wall", turn another and it's like "ah, bar and restos!" and then another and it's like "oh, 15th century church!"
-
@chris ya I was looking at the tracks thinking at least they seem OK. maybe have to send trains in with supplies or something...
-
@chris here we tend to be like "the really old thing is over there behind a wall".
-
@MikeImBack ya, there are a few that are ripped up and the catenary is messed up, but I'm sure they're getting a handle on it. Thankfully the weather has passed. All rail service is stopped until Monday it looks like.

#KochNetwork spent a lot of money on climate denying Republicans and a corrupt Supreme Court willing to kneecap the EPA.
This is the result. Billions in damages, pennies in recompense.

Charles Koch has set aside $5 billion to finish what he started.
Ending Democracy. Frying the planet.
Embedding public corruption everywhere.

@chris it is devastating to see this, especially having lived 1 1/2 years in Valencia.
It was nearby small towns that were hit hardest, from what I understand. -
@chris I live about a mile down from the Encino reservoir in LA’s San Fernando Valley. When I say “down”, I mean down the hill. I hope this never happens here. It must’ve taken a massive downhill overflow of water to drag all those cars that way.
-
@obrien_kat sounds like it. I would like to live in Valencia one day, so this hurts.

@rick1960 sounds like there were fires about 10 years ago in the foothills to the East where the rains were strongest yesterday. It may have contributed to the incredible speed of the flood.
