… in China, too, they had some major, very intense floods:
Caution: Don’t watch if you’re claustrophobic or are afraid of drowning.
Yes, I remember I once vowed to never ever show any phone videos in upright mode anymore. But some of the footage is actually pretty spectacular.
You - philosophical, thoughtful, witty. Me - still thinks fart jokes are funny. We should DEFINITELY get together!

Thar She Blows! 
Horrible. A bunch of people drowned in on of the subway cars.

Yes, pretty bad. I dunno how many people died overall. But China got it extra thick!
I guess in Germany it was around 130 or so. And totally avoidable as the responsible agencies and departments knew about the looming catastrophe 1 – 2 months before it happened. Now they are pushing the blame from one loser gang to the next. The broadcaster wasn’t prepared to send out a warning, the sirens weren’t properly maintained and anyway, they just didn’t wanna create a widespread panic. Can you believe that nonsense?
Shit like this used to be unthinkable when I was young. Now we guess it’s all signs of the gradually advancement of Germany’s Americanization. 😦

That would be nice. But you know China’s a huge country. Your coworkers might only have heard about the flood on TV or internet, like we did.

They replied that the flooding is in an area that houses only 1% of the population.
I hoped it like wildfires for me… I’m aware they’re happening but they rarely impact me.

1% of the population of China? That’s still a major area if it’s urban. And as we’ve seen they have subway trains, big boulevards, many modern houses and it all looks very densely populated.
Let’s ask the Wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhengzhou
10,120,000 inhabitants, the 8th National Central City … whatever that means.

My coworkers are in the same province so I’m going to take their word for it.
