Valencia on myllerryksessä: historiallinen tulva tuo mukanaan surua ja häilyvää iloa. Oletko valmis sukeltamaan Valencian tapahtumiin?
Valencia, kaunis ja aurinkoinen kaupunki, on viime päivinä kokenut harvinaista tuhoa, kun alueella on kaatunut historiallisen rankasti vettä. Sadetta on tullut niin paljon, että aikuisetkin voivat melkein uida kaduilla. Raskaiden sateiden seurauksena useita ruumiita on löydetty ja alueen väestö on joutunut turvautumaan evakuointiin. Tulvien voimakkuus on saanut paikalta päättäjät reagoimaan ja antamaan varoituksia asukkaille, jotta he voivat pysyä turvassa luonnonvoimilta.
Kaduilla kaloja ja autoja! Tulva on pyyhkäissyt yli katujen ja sulkenut tärkeitä teitä, mikä on aiheuttanut kaaoksen liikenteessä, sekä raide- että lentoliikenteessä. Sekä paikalliset että turistit ovat hämmästyneitä; monet ovat siirtyneet sukeltamaan katusurfingille autolla. Valencia on saanut kokemusta vedessä leikkimisestä, ja vaikka se on hieman vaarallista, se on tuonut hetken helpotusta matkailijoille, jotka odottavat vain sadetta ja tulva-aktiivisuutta.
Valencian kaupunginjohtaja on ilmoittanut tulvasta ja varoittanut alueen asukkaita hätätilanteista, jotka johtuvat sään äkillisistä muutoksista. Tämä ei ole kuitenkaan ainoa huoli; irti päästettyjen tulvavesien mukana on pyörinyt myös autoja ja muita esteitä, jotka voivat olla vaaraksi. Ja näiden raskaita vesiä vastaan on päästävä nopeasti, jotta Valenian ainutlaatuinen kauneus voidaan palauttaa.
Miksi tämä kaikki tapahtui juuri nyt? Vaikka sadetta tarvittiin, olisiko se voitu jakaa aikaisemmille kuukausille? Uuden ennusteen mukaan alueen tulvakausi ei ehkä ole vielä ohi, joten asukkaiden olisi hyvä pysyä varuillaan. Valencia saattaa olla tunnettu sen upeista rannasta ja kaupungin sykkivästä elämästä, mutta nyt on aika tähdätä vedeltä suojautumiseen ja toivottavasti huomenna aurinko paistaisi jälleen.
Kuitenkin, tiedätkö mitä? Tämä ei ole ensimmäinen kerta, kun Valencia kohtaa luonnon nyhdettyä pahaa mielialaa! 1957 oli vuosi, jolloin tulvavesi riitti kietomaan kaupungin syliinsä ja sitä muistellaan kauhulla pitkään. Ja ensimmäinen auto, joka aikoinaan tunkialahoitossa Francia: n aukion päälle vuosi 1836, sen aika oli yhtä jännittävää kuin sadetta, erityisesti kun ajatus kuin "miksi vain upeat naapurustot saavat tällaisia jännityksiä?" Huomaa kuitenkin, huumori on niin mukavaa yhdessä sateenkaarien kanssa.
