This is a big topic. Those, who are prone to pessimism or vulnerable, may find it's a vent to sign, to relax, and even to enjoy. Today let me start this and see ....
This morning I wrote as a beggining: . [ Anxieties In Loong Autumn ] . Authored by MooreYuan 26 Aug 2024. . Anxieties or worries are creeping Into our hearts and residing Many times left is no reasoning But we unintentionally witness The leaves put on a yellow dress Sighing deeply at paleness . The air is turning cool The gusts may blow powerful Dawn bypassers could be painful But the hurt is a homesick face They wear in an alien place And the festival tears to efface .
It is downpouring over this city. This rain will be ongoing until this late afternoon. It comes to a brainstorm of the watery lunar month---- Water was poured down, soaking this lunar month, and emptying up all the rains stored during last lunar month. It striked first over the south, then in turn over the north;It flooded and ruined our farmlands, and hurt the local residents' homelands.
【正能量】 Dragon King seemed lazy, left to those regions no mercy, and ignored all the heaven rules, stunning, Interrupting the boys' drool. The soldiers and redidents, firm, tenacious, and persistent, have composed solemn songs, deeply moving and lasting long.
. [Autumn Flash Flooding] . Authored by MooreYuan. 27 Aug 2024. . The rain gathered into floods Waves raged a rush of blood Mountains are cute pretty But muddy flows rushed of bounty . Flooding raided farmlands Raided cities, holding a wand It broke the river defence And the residents' hearts and peace .
(CONTINUE) Early autumn is a grand feast But it could play beast Reservoirs gushed water out As if binge loved by a stout . People flee from disasters Most suffer the kids and elders Worries are something popular It unfolds each a hundred years (END) .
“A flash flood is a rapid flooding of low-lying areas: washes, rivers, dry lakes and depressions. It may be caused by heavy rain associated with a severe thunderstorm, hurricane, tropical storm, or meltwater from ice or snow flowing over ice sheets or snowfields.” (Wiki)
"Flash floods can occur under several types of conditions. Flash flooding occurs when it rains rapidly on saturated soil or dry soil that has poor absorption ability. The runoff collects in gullies and streams and, as they join to form larger volumes, often form a fast flowing front of water and debris."(Wiki)
A large mountain region is a good resource for a city next to it, but it's also a threat once heavy rain occurs. The creeks and tributaries have slopes much greater than the downstrean section of a river. A larger flow rate means that the mainstream increases its flow velocity to a much higher level. That's a key point. That's dangerous. It just takes several hours from the rain time to the arrival of the flood peak.
A flash flood also interrupts the boys' drool. It's not literature, nor poetry. We must do something. We must fight againt nature if we want to stay in those places.
