The flood took two lives

Good evening friends We got snow here today, it fell for a long time, but it didn't stay, because the ground is wet and it melted immediately. Temperatures are still in the plus, even if January and February were always very cold months. Due to the heavy rains in the past few weeks, there have been floods in many places. People fight with the rivers, but nature is very cruel. It happened a few days ago that a man accidentally fell into the water, while he was fighting to keep the water from entering his house, but the river swept him away. The neighbor ran after him and wanted to save him, but he was also swept away by the water. They only found their bodies today. I believe that nature is very angry, but people still behave very irresponsibly. Do you also believe that people behave badly towards nature? P.S. The photo shows the moment when the neighbor tries to save the man from the water, in the next moment the water took him away.

Sorry to hear about the floods and the lost lives. They can be devastating for sure. Many do not respect nature.

@CarolDM Yes, there is too much evil in the world. Sometimes I believe that the end of the world will come when everything will be destroyed and life will start all over again.

Yes, this is a rather small river, but it happens that in such situations it is so strong that no one can oppose it. The video shows how strong the torrent was and that there was no chance for them to save themselves. I don't know why people have become so cruel.

Yes, nature gave us everything, but people stopped taking care of it, they became cruel. They destroy nature at every step.

@Nevena83 Many tourists who never tried to drive a car on the snow think that they push on the brake and the car stops. Those are the ones who cause more accidents.

Yes, I've seen blizzards. I don't understand how people don't understand that they have to be more careful, that they have to turn to nature.

@LadyDuck You're right. There is no brake when there is snow or ice on the road, so the speed has to be adjusted, but what surprises me the most is how people who have been drivers for many years do not know this.

How sad! I'm sorry the river swept them away. Yes, people will always play dare devil with nature. We have many reports in winter of people falling through ice on rivers.

I don't know why people have become so cruel to nature. And when things like this happen, people again blame nature, not themselves.

I believe that too. People have become very irresponsible towards nature, but they don't realize when nature strikes back that it's a sign that we have to change.

@Nevena83 Nature is so giving. Sad that we don't realise that and have been abusive with it for all our greeds . People don't respect it much.

@arunima25 I absolutely agree with you. I can't understand how people don't understand that we have to do something and save nature from ourselves.

Yes, I agree with you, but I often see these situations as who punishes. Nature is angry with our behavior towards it.

There are no proper punishments here, but I don't think that would help to make people wiser either.

Yes, the water was too strong. The video showed how the water carried them with ease. Nature only hits back at our disrespect.

Humans are really getting worse every decade and are destroying nature more and more.
