1. If u haven’t already u should watch the movie “the impossible “. About people surviving a natural disaster. Based on a true story. I should react to it

2. Storm drains and sewers… I've experienced it, myself in Cincinnati, Ohio many years ago when we had a severe thunderstorm. The lines get full and there's nowhere for the water to go but up and out!!

3. Great video Kabir❗ Scary stuff. I have many friends that survived Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Their survival stories are pretty intense. Lucky me for moving away from that city 2 years before Katrina. We never know anymore when Mother Nature is about to pounce and it will be your last day on this Earth.🌎 Prepare ❗

4. The ferry at 6:43 looks like one of the ferries here near Seattle. The vast majority of the time they are operating in relatively calm waters, so a closed off bow is unnecessary the vast majority of the time. If the ferry is full and weather isn't bad they will park cars all the way up to the netting.
   The ferries are built in a symmetrical fashion, allowing cars to drive straight on at the start and straight off at the other end of the crossing. When it's time to head back the other direction, the captain and bridge crew just moves to the bridge at the other end of the ship.

5. Been in hurricanes and let me tell you they are no joke! Also blizzards. They can be insane.

6. The globalists are incredible in what they are capable of

7. The end of times…. when you see that kind of hail, you know its a tornado. I love ocean but have a healty respect for it.

8. Isn't it interesting that you don't see anything like this living in London? Wouldn't "climate change" be occuring there as well? Tornadoes and hurricanes are common to certain areas because of weather patterns unique to those areas. Not "climate change".

9. As an army brat, I moved around a lot as a kid and therefore have been through all kinds of natural disasters, (tornadoes in KY, earthquakes in CA, lightening storms in CO, floods and wild fires in OR), but the scariest storm I've ever been in was the Oregon ice storm in February 2021… All the trees had huge icicles covering them and we sat in a dark house, (power was out for 5 days), listening to trees crack and fall ALL around us… It was utterly terrifying…. Mother Nature sure doesn't mess around.

10. The drains. Well the water table varies in depth underground. Once you fill up the space between the table and the surface, it has nowhere to go but up. So you get the fountain upwards as there's nowhere the water can go. All the possible areas for the water to inhabit are already full. In the end possibly there'll be a sinkhole( terrifying thing that), if the water saturates the earth/ dirt and the water takes the dirt away, creating a void of space.

11. That snowstorm wasn't even a whiteout (which are scary as hell if you get caught out in them)

12. I think we have always had them but now everyone records everything on their phones, that's all.

13. In an earthquake, you need to get underneath something well-built and sturdy. If nothing like that is around, you need to stay away from falling objects and glass. That woman was probably doing the best she could under the circumstances.

14. If the snow was really an ice storm – sure sounded like it, that constant "spat" sound against the walls and windows is a dead giveway of freezing rain – they're dangerous as hell. We have them frequently up here in the PNW, and they'll shut down everything and kill power from days to weeks. 4-wheel drive doesn't help at all, no matter what some idiots think; cars get abandoned all over; ice build-up breaks electricity and phone lines, tree limbs, and if not breaking limbs off, will just crunch the entire tree when the build-up gets too heavy. Or a weak roof. Here in Portland, our ice storms are usually combined with wind. The Columbia Gorge, which opens into the Willamette Valley about 20-odd miles east of me, regularly has dangerous winds or gusts up to 60 mph, bad enough to temporarily shut down traffic on occasion. During ice storms, freight trucks have to stop and ride it out due to how bad it gets in the Gorge; hopefully not on a fairly deserted stretch of freeway. During one of our bad ones, I saw a truck at a truck stop, in a photo on the web, with its tires buried about a foot deep in solid ice. Plus a National Guard fighter jet at our airport entirely covered in ice. And that year our windchill factor in my neighborhood was -29F/-33C. The entire area shuts down. The mayor usually orders people to stay home and not to try driving for any reason. Very few buses can even run snow routes, our light-rail transit won't work, freight trains don't roll, the airport shuts down, and I don't even think the cargo ships docked in our port try to do anything. We have sanding trucks, but it's an interesting sight to see one of those beasts doing an elephantine loop-de-loop on a freeway hill when it starts sliding. (Portland isn't as hilly as Seattle, but we're hilly.) And they only do the utmost necessary routes.

    What gets me is we never seem to make national news for this. Sure, we get inches of ice every 3 years or thereabouts, and thousands lose power for a couple weeks, so it's common for us; but no news mentions except local. The Midwest or back East gets a mere inch or two of ice, and every major news site goes crazy. It's like Southern Caifornia reporting on heavy rain – OMG IT'S RAINING MORE THAN AN 8TH OF AN INCH IN A DAY!! Meanwhile, up here, we're going, "Oh, man, Ohio got hit with 2" of ice. Guess they'll be shut down a week or so. Hope their power doesn't go out. Hey, does your friend still have those old crampons we could borrow? I forgot and left the kitty litter in the car trunk."

15. Nothing has really changed. The earth goes through cycles, sometimes it's colder, sometimes it's hotter. Sometimes dry areas get rain, and sometimes wet areas don't. The difference is people with cameras, able to record and report every single thing that happens, and it's also the infrastructure. Building massive towns below sea level, next to a coast that has always had lots of storms, and covering the ground with cement so the water has nowhere to go. What did they think would happen? Earthquakes seem worse because buildings crumble…when people only had small shacks or huts, there was minimal damage. They also didn't have cameras to record everything and show it to us now.

    There are countless books, diaries of people who lived here before us, who also experienced storms and crazy weather phenomena. This is not a new thing, it just seems worse because we can see it all, and we have way more homes and buildings, taller than ever before, literally stacked on top of each other, that just don't stand a chance against mother nature.

16. The pretty snow storm you mentioned was ice coming down. Ice can fell trees, break power lines and cause people to be without electricity. It happens a lot in Ohio where I'm from. It actually caused problems here in Texas a few years ago too. Pretty but scary.

17. The worst thing about the sewer overflowing and water pushing up through the manholes is that the cover gets moved and then when someone is trying to wade through the water you can end up stepping into an open manhole.

18. To much water going into storm sewer so it fountains up

19. Hi Kabir! I've lived most of my life in Texas and Louisiana and have seen my share of crazy weather.
    One year back in the 90s I was at our annual Mayfest event, which attracts many thousands of people. It started hailing and I was parked almost a mile away. The hail was about 3/4" or 18mm in diameter. By the time I got to my car I had sustained several large lumps on my head, my shoulders were black and blue and my hands were bruised from trying to protect my head. Needless to say, my car was dented up.
    Another time, I was knocked flat by a microburst from a thunderstorm. They are caused by localized downdrafts of 100+ mph winds. I mean I was knocked flat in a split second.
    I've seen tornadoes and their aftermath, been caught in hurricanes, almost hit by lightning and seen extensive flooding, especially in Louisiana.
    In another flooding situation I was almost swept away. I was hunting in West Texas and was walking in an arroyo, which is a usually dry steep sided intermittent stream bed. I heard a strange sound kind of like a train or airplane in the distance. It started getting louder and I remembered that there were no train tracks anywhere near. Then I saw a thin stream of water round a curve in the arroyo. It was just a few feet wide and a few inches deep. It quickly grew, and the noise got louder. Then I remembered things I had heard about flash flooding. I quickly began trying to climb out of the stream bed. The sides were very steep and about 25 feet high, but I managed to get out. Before I was half way out, however, the water had gotten several feet deep and about 20 feet with and was flowing very fast. As I watched from the top I saw large branches and logs, jackrabbits, armadillos other stuff being swept away by the swiftly moving water. It grew to a depth of around 20 feet and was flowing very, very fast. If I hadn't gotten out, I would have been killed. It didn't start raining until I was already out, but it had rained heavily about 30 miles upstream from where I was.

20. Too many stupid people in the middle of chaos trying to film it.

21. When you have a very heavy rainfall and the storm drains are over full they come up the manhole covers. We had a very bad nor'easter and I was driving down the highway and the town had a front loader shovel down over the manhole cover trying to keep it in place secondary to the runoff trying to push the cover off.

22. Is it more happening? Or just more cameras, more coverage? Once upon a time you never heard of stuff outside your own town.

23. Storm drains collect water and carry it downhill to dump it into a body of water. With heavy rain the rain overwhelms the system and the water gushes back up in lower areas.

24. You don’t get low to the ground an earthquake. You get low to the ground if you’re in the room with smoke. In earthquake if you could be under a desk or something strong like a doorway possibly. But there is no real safety against natural disasters. in an earthquake you just hope nothing falls on you or it doesn’t create a fire by damaging the electrical systems.

25. Just had 7 tornadoes in my area a couple weeks ago. Power lines everywhere and gigantic trees down all over! 8 huge trees on my block alone. We were lucky, there was a lady (86 years old) that sadly had a tree fall on her home. She didn’t make it. Poor sweet lady.

26. We get winds like that from 3 types of events. Hurricanes – tornadoes – microbursts…..

    Watched a storm a few weeks ago and it was tossing lightning… it had a strong in draft and I think it gave us a few microbursts…. It took out trees lights it gave us 80 mph wind speeds….

27. Climate change my ass they used to call that global warning until we had that major ice storm a couple of years ago now they want to call it climate change well of course is climate change it's called seasons creepy Joe uses these natural disasters to push his climate change agenda and the dumbasses will go for his okeybdoke
    What caused all these natural disasters before we started using fossil fuels

28. It would be interesting to find out what it was like the year that corresponds with the solar and lunar cycles…..

29. I don't think anything has changed only people have expanded where they live and it's more widely known.

30. basically its the natural cycle of the earth that has been sped up extremely fast by human cause (Anthropocene). That being said, there is a damn decent amount of regenerative efforts that have been insanely successful and other efforts are reaching their marks (like 4Ocean and their tech to remove the pacific garbage patch; theyre on track to meet their 2030 goal.) sustainable and eco tech is being invented every day to remove microplastics from ocean water and other waterways, regenerative farming is catching on. Since Lula da Silva retook the brazilian presidency via democratic election, amazon rainforest deforestation has immediately gone down 40% and reforestation efforts are in full swing. So while social media is showing us incidents we'd otherwise never ever see or encounter, there are things being done to mitigate and reverse. its just not click or ad friendly as much as doomscrolling is, so it doesnt make the news.

31. The absolute dumbest least responsible thing you can do is what these folks did.
    If you're in a natural disaster go to an interior room with no windows as close to the center as possible.
    If you're in a hotel then leave your room and stay in the hallway.
    If these options are not available get a mattress from the bed, lie in the bathtub and put the mattress on top.
    The absolute worst thing you can do is go outside and try to record the storm.
    To quote Ron White:
    It's not that the wind is blowing.
    It's what the wind is blowing.

32. 4.18 and 10.12 are water main breaks. Nothing "natural" about those.

33. Hurricanes 🌀 Mother Nature’s quite a lady! 😊

34. I do not know if we are having more mother nature's disasters, but I think in today's times, with technology, people able to film the action and many outlets to show it on. Also, the daredevils who will follow the tornado just to film it, how close they can get to it, and probably scientific reasons on what happens during tornado. Unfortunately, there are times the professional storm chasers get too close and perish.
