At first, I was skeptical. It looked AI-generated. But it's real: snopes.com/fact-check/valencia…

@David Shelton Floods happened, even pre-industry. Look in the Bible, reference "Noah".

@Nanook,

Yes, floods happened before. The thing is they are happening more and more often, as well as droughts and storms, more often and more intensely.

@Michel Patrice The thing is if you actually take the time to look at the statistics, FLOODS and FIRES and HURRICAINES are neither happening more often NOR with more severity, they are actually down somewhat. What IS happening is more capital damage but this is only because stupid people build condos on the shorelines.

I think I could tell it was real because I saw real flood damage in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. You can almost see the motion of the water in those cars

@Nanook,

Statistics do show an increase in frequency and severity of floods, fires and storms.

@Michel Patrice then you're looking at cooked statistics. I should correct that, you may be looking at very narrow statistics, if you look at 2000-2024, yes there is huge variability in this period, but if you look at 1900-2024, within that time frame there is an overall decrease.

@arnst Let's start with an overall graph of deaths due to natural disasters from 1900 to current:

And then fires:

And then Storms:


Unfortunately I was not on the fly able to find flood data going back more than about 20 years but I think this is largely due to the fact that prior to dams, flooding along river basins was a seasonal occurrence. In fact, it is floods that brings silt down stream and makes productive farmland the rich soil that it is.

But with the exception of short term storms, and I really believe this is largely a reporting bias, until recently we didn't have Doppler radar and the link and a day of rain just wasn't worth recording, but with that exception everything else peaked between 1890 and 1930 and has been less than those peaks in current times.
