Deadly floods have ravaged parts of New York, New Jersey, and Texas, with experts pointing to climate change as a key driver behind the increasingly extreme weather events. Torrential rains submerged streets, overwhelmed drainage systems, and left communities in chaos.
States Under Water
Residents in affected areas faced life-threatening conditions as floodwaters surged through neighbourhoods, sweeping away cars and trapping people in their homes. Emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue stranded individuals, but tragically, several lives were lost.
Climate Change to Blame?
Scientists warn that rising global temperatures are intensifying rainfall, making such disasters more frequent and severe. "What used to be rare events are becoming the new normal," said one climate researcher. Urban infrastructure, often outdated, struggles to cope with the deluge.
Economic and Human Toll
The financial impact is staggering, with billions in damages expected. Homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure have been destroyed, leaving many without shelter or livelihoods. Authorities are urging governments to invest in climate resilience measures to mitigate future risks.
As floodwaters recede, the long road to recovery begins—but without urgent action, experts fear worse is yet to come.
