As many as 10,000 people are feared dead after a storm slammed into Libya, unleashing a devastating surge of floodwaters across the country's east.

A disaster wrought by intense rainfall from Mediterranean storm Daniel intensified when two dams burst — with more than 2,000 people killed in one coastal city and thousands more missing, aid agencies and officials said Tuesday.

Being a destabilized (thanks McCain, Obama and Clinton) and dysfunctional state hurt the people’s ability to weather the storm.

Doesn’t seem to be an ordinary flood. Must be the result of a Directed Water Weapon (DWW).

Has there been any reports on floods in China?

It’s crazy there. Their richest city is submerged.

Hong Kong was flooded purposely to relieve Shenzhen flooding.

That’s right now.

Last month Beijing flooded including Forbidden City.

They routed water to flood nearby cities purposely after that.

“ since Hillary got rid of Kadaffy.”

Is that the current spelling of Quaddafi (?). I know it used to change every 3 months or so.

This is the first I’ve heard about any big Chinese cities being flooded this season. Maybe I overlooked it.
Nobody is asking them for a total count of the dead.
