#CapeVerde floods kill at least eight people
By Reuters
August 12, 2025
PRAIA, Aug 12 (Reuters) - "At least eight people were killed after flooding on Cape Verde's #SaoVicenteIsland overwhelmed emergency services and cut key roads, a regional civil protection councillor said on Tuesday.
"On Monday morning torrential rains lashed the northern island in the Atlantic archipelago located off #WestAfrica swamping roads and sweeping away vehicles and people.
"Municipal councillor Jose Carlos da Luz told a state broadcaster seven people had died in floods and one person was electrocuted, adding that three others were still missing.
"In a report on Monday, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies put the death toll at nine and said 1,500 people had been displaced on Sao Vicente.
"Sao Vicente usually records 116 mm of rain in a year, according to Cape Verde's meteorology institute. But early on Monday 193 mm fell in just five hours, according to Ester Brito, an executive at the institute.
" 'It is a rare situation because what was recorded is above our 30-year climatological average,' she told Reuters, adding that in just two hours more rain fell than the island typically receives annually.
"The U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Monday that #TropicalStormErin was located about 280 miles (455 km) west-northwest of #CapeVerde and packing maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour (75 kph).
"Interior Minister Paulo Rocha said on Monday that floodwaters disrupted transport across #SaoVicente and severed the main road to Cesaria Evora International Airport, though the facility remained operational. #Rockfalls also blocked traffic.
" 'It was a difficult night marked by panic and despair,' Rocha told public radio, adding that first responders were inundated with distress calls.
"Rescue and cleanup operations were ongoing, but Rocha said authorities were mobilising resources that would allow the island to quickly return to normal life."

Yes, it is 4.5°C, not 3°C for 2xCO2, by 99% We know this already, but here is why.
Further to the inane demand by US Republican senators that Canada prevent wildfires, see this. 93% of forest fires in Canada are caused by lightning.

A bellwether of change’: speed of glacier shrinking on remote Heard Island sounds alarm
A group of Turkish bikers organized a motorcycle tour on the cracked ground of the dried-up Akşehir Lake yesterday to draw global attention to the water scarcity crisis and climate change.
The lake, which was once a source of water and a habitat for a variety of animal species and migratory birds, is now completely dry, leaving only a cracked layer of soil.
A lot of people are going to say things like: “that's it, it was never really viable anyway. we should just have highways and walking paths”.
But not only is the statement completely false, that's the attitude that got us here. That's the attitude that has brought us climate change. And worst of all, that's the defeatist and nihilistic attitude that will lead to the burning of not just more forest, but whole communities, and eventually, the likely collapse of our civilization.
After the 2021 November floods there was never a question about whether the government would spend (never accounted for!) billions on repairing the highways immediately.
The CN and CP Railways also rebuilt theirs that were heavily damaged, and did it a lot faster, because railways are a lot easier to build, and rebuild, than 4 lane, or 2 lane highways.
During the 2023 wildfire on the other side of Cameron Lake, the railway sat unused while the highway was closed for weeks, leading to massive economic losses for #PortAlberni #tofino and #Ucluelet and all the Nuchanulth Territories and huge social disconnection.
So rebuild it? Absolutely!
Electrify it? Darn right!
Run Freight and Passenger on it again for the benefit of all Islanders!? OF COURSE! It should have never been allowed to stop its 100 years of service to us in the first place!

»Massive Ocean Regime Shift, Alarming
A new study published in ScienceDaily claims severe ocean overheating may be causing a fundamental climate shift...
Starting in 2022-23, massive ocean heatwaves persisted for more than 500 days covering nearly the entire globe. This shocking event, never witnessed before, puts the entire global warming scenario on a new level that’s predictably negative. The message is as clear as a bell: World leadership should focus on the removal of fossil fuel emissions as soon as possible.«
