It's raining, not that I don't like to feel the rain, I love it. My plants appreciate it, but these are not usual rains. They are rains caused by tropical waves that are coming from the Atlantic air currents. They are causing a lot of havoc in cities in my country. floods, material and human losses.

Your reflection really touched me. Rain can be such a blessing, especially for our plants and the land, but when it becomes destructive, it’s heartbreaking. I’m so sorry to hear about the floods and losses in your country. Praying for safety and recovery for everyone affected. Stay safe. 🌧💛
Thank you very much for your words, that's how you put it. The rains are a blessing when they fall calmly and at a good pace. When they do it with such fury, as is happening in many of our cities, the disasters we are seeing in the news occur. May God protect our country from the inclement weather.
Amen
Es increíble que nunca podamos estar conformes con el clima. Muchas lluvia causa estragos, mucho sol trae sequía. Muchas nieve, seca; y así sucesivamente.
Lo cierto es que el clima está siendo consecuencia de nuestras acciones descabelladas en contra del ambiente.
Gran saludo!
Amiga mía, es que no podemos estar contentos nunca con los excesos. De lo que sí estoy segura es de lo que afirma el amigo @acostacazorla, los únicos culpables de todo este desastre de excesos en el clima somos nosotros los seres humanos.
Ayer mirando los videos de lo que está sucediendo en la ciudad de Mérida, con la que tengo un sentimiento de amor muy grande, me entristece ver cómo se destruyen casas enteras debido al caudal del río por las lluvias. Son casas construidas en las orillas de los ríos. Puentes con poca altura sobre ríos caudalosos, carreteras por encima del paso de ríos importantes. Es un desastre lo que está sucediendo allí, pero todo es por una mala planificación del hombre.
Los extremos son terribles. Venimos de pasar por un calor abrasador; y ahora las lluvias han causado muchos desastres en países del mundo. Venezuela no es la excepción. De modo que hemos ido de un extremo a otro. Esto es lamentable. Me encantó leerte.
Lo peor del caso es que estos cambios climáticos extremos, está mermando a la población más vulnerable: los niños, ancianos y a las personas debilitadas con enfermedades crónicas. Además, abren portales a la entrada de más patologías foráneas a nuestro país.
The worst part of the case is that these extreme weather changes are affecting the most vulnerable population, children, the elderly and the most debilitated with chronic diseases. It also opens the door for more foreign pathologies to enter our country.
Así es, amiga, eso es lo más terrible.
That's right, my friend, that's the most terrible thing.
Pareciera que en estos tiempos modernos nada es normal ni natural; y lo que expones sobre el clima, las lluvias y sus efectos en varias partes del mundo no es más que la cosecha que hemos sembrado los seres humanos.
Saludos, @gertu.
It seems that in these modern times, nothing is normal or natural; and what you describe about the climate, rainfall, and its effects in various parts of the world is nothing more than the harvest we humans have sown.
Greetings, @gertu.
En efecto, no puedo desmentir su opinión porque nosotros estamos cavando nuestra propia tumba. Todos los días ponemos nuestro granito de arena para hacerlo todo mal. No hacemos caso de los pronósticos para el futuro cercano, ni de las sugerencias para evitar la catástrofe que se avecina.
Nos meremos un premio por terquedad y por ilusos.
En este caso viene bien recordar la frase que dice: "tenemos lo que nos merecemos."
Indeed, I cannot deny his opinion because we are digging our own grave. Every day we do our bit to do everything wrong. We ignore the forecasts for the near future and the suggestions to avoid the coming catastrophe.
We deserve a prize for stubbornness and delusion.
In this case it comes well to remember the phrase that says: “we get what we deserve.”
Así es, mi apreciada amiga. Lo que pueda hacer una sola persona no es suficiente. Pero, por lo menos la conciencia tranquila hemos de tener.

I always wonder why people tend to live in places where nature reigns and next complain. Is it possible nature damages?
But what do I know living in a country underneath sea level 😥
That's the same question I'm asking myself. In my country many works are built without taking into account, friend or foe, which can be nature.
My country has many regions below the level of sea. But most of the geographical areas are above this level. We even have areas that are flat and yet they are above sea level, there are only very fast-flowing rivers.
The region that is being devastated by the rise of the rivers, today, is surrounding the Bolivar peak, at almost 5 thousand meters, the highest in the world. The whole place is in the highest mountainous area above sea level. It is not the height, it is the flow of the rivers. All that water flow is taking whatever it finds in its path. The houses are built at the foot of the mountains and in the same mountains of the Venezuelan Andes, it is mountain range. This is where most of the country's vegetable growers live.
I do not blame nature, she does what man has brought about with his bad ingenuity. But even with all that, I cannot stop expressing my pain for so much tragedy.
