Increasing Flood Risks in the U.S.: Texas as a Warning Sign

Recent floods in Texas have raised alarm over the rising danger of such natural disasters across the country, resulting in over 100 fatalities. Experts warn that similar flash floods could threaten other states like California, where extreme rainfall events are becoming more common. The intensity and frequency of downpours are worsening due to climate change, leading to concerns about flooding in areas previously thought safe. As the risk grows worldwide, understanding and adapting to these changes is crucial. The increasing prevalence of billion-dollar disasters underscores the urgent need for better flood warning systems and infrastructural preparedness.
