As in, the dust/mud particles sprayed & floating in the air do not have the force to do harm beyond vision or breathing impairment, similar to the dust from a collapsing building, or the lead shockwave of a nuclear bomb detonation. Of course, it looks terrible, and certainly somethingbut its not a reason to perish as long as you can stay away from the following water wall and mud current that does strike sometime after. | | |
| ▲ | margalabargala 22 minutes ago | parent [-] | | No, that's not correct. The length of time between the spray you mention, and the impact of the water wall, is single digit seconds. It doesn't make a difference. |

Of course, this little preview is itself anthropogenic. This horrific disaster is the thinnest tendril of the monster we have unleashed. | | |
| ▲ | kulahan 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Both figuratively and literally, this experience was the tip of the iceberg. Terrifying. People might think I'm crazy, but I'm choosing my retirement location 100% based on resistance to climate change. Local water, too much humidity for massive fires, too cold for insane heatwaves... you get it. | | |

We have seen in the last few years all the supposed climate safe areas get hit hard. https://www.npr.org/2024/10/09/nx-s1-5137024/climate-haven-h... | | |

| ▲ | sandeepkd an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | I do not know if I would consider stopping the climate change as a solution for all such events. Watching the video makes you realize how small you are in front of the nature. It feels painful to even watch it but its an eyeopener at the same time. Its a misconception to think that the climate would always remain same, nature is an constantly moving/changing entity. What might be perceived as destruction is also the mechanism how creation of life or life like conditions happened in the first place. Just makes me feel like appreciating the day even more. |
