How wildfires leave communities vulnerable to flooding, mudslides for years

#Wildfires of every size leave behind something known as a #BurnScar, or the area of land charred by flames and left devoid of vegetation.

By Brian Lada

"#Flooding and #DebrisFlows can happen with little warning in burn scars and most commonly occur during a heavy thunderstorm or major #rainstorm.

"'Rainfall that would normally be absorbed will run off extremely quickly after a #wildfire, as burned soil can be as water repellent as pavement. As a result, much less rainfall [than normal] is required to produce a #FlashFlood,' The National Weather Service (#NWS) said."

Some British judges have handed out long prison sentences to peaceful protestors who campaigned against inaction on #FossilFuels by, er, blocking streets.

Will they be handing out similar or longer sentences to top executives in #BigOil, #BigCoal and #BigGas companies who, er, also block streets?

A street in Valencia, Spain, blocked in 2024 by the debris and detritus left by flash flooding likely exacerbated by Climate Change. The street is piled high with wrecked vehicles tossed willy-nilly like olives, capers and tomatoes in a Spanish salad.

Friederike Otto who founded the World Weather Attribution Centre in 2014 weighs in on #Spain #Valencia #heavyrain #flashflood .
Good piece, good advice and criticism. theguardian.com/commentisfree/

I'm virgin in statistics and can't really grasp the sense of "twice as likely". Surely I'm not the only one. Cd be useful to translate this expression for simple minds like mine. As form of adaptation in clicom / scicom lingo.

What does this expression translate to in my life experience? It leaves a blank in my brain.
Also relates to what "protection yard stick" I would demand from my city council eg. in Chiva, and to how I could judge the sufficiency of their proposals.

The rainfall during #Helene was attributed as "70% more likely by #ClimateChange " worldweatherattribution.org/cl
Is 70% less or more than Valencia's "twice as likely" ?

I can't explain why I can't make sense of it. It just leaves a blank space in my head. Before I fathom its meaning, I also can't suggest different wordings.

If you're a German speaker, I'd appreciate an answer in German very much. But English would be very helpful, too.

Elected politician in these regions failed to warn the population on time.
The AEMET already warned authorities since Tuesday 28 of October but Valencia right-wing (PP) "climate skeptics" governor, Carlos Mazón, didn't trigger the warnings until 8:30 PM.
The population was already trapped by that time.
Many business still demanded employees to keep doing their job!

Randomly found an open-access article about harvesting rainwater to avoid flash floods. It puzzles me as to why Western countries never do that at scale.

"Several people have died, an official said, and at least seven people are missing after torrential rain caused flash floods in southern and eastern Spain, shutting roads and high-speed train connections.

Raging flood waters swept through the town of Letur in the east, pushing cars through the streets. State weather agency AEMET declared a red alert in the Valencia region and the second-highest level of alert in parts of Andalusia."—Guardian News
