Attack of Water

What I read

"Eleven hikers killed in flash flooding in southern Italy" 11 hikers have been killed and others are missing after flash flooding in southern Italy. In a national park in the Calabria region when they were hit by a storm by heavy rain. Local officials say the exact number of those unaccounted for is unclear because some of them still missing. They still keep searching in the Pollino National Park, they also brought a spotlights for keep searching on through the night. Carlo Tansi, head of civil protection, told reporters that when the hikers were hit by the water and were washed down the valley for about 3km (two miles). Eugenio Facciolla, chief prosecutor of the provincial capital Cosenza, said rescuers were trying to spot small patches of shore or tiny islands where survivors might ended up.

My response 

This news is a bit scares me because it remind me of when the Tsunami was attack in Thailand. Think of the people who was drowning and suffering underwater to dead many people had died from it. In this case I feel like it similar, they were attacked by water and the water take them to somewhere. I hope they were save and the rescuers will find them soon.Talk about the water, I am the one who scares from a deep water, for example like sea and ocean just think of when I'm in the sea or in the ocean alone I will feel really nervous that in the dark deep water there might be something came out you can call it Thalassophobia and I think I'm might be thalassophobia meybe.

    Thank you Petch. It reminded me of floods when I was a child. I used to think they were fun, and it meant days off school. In one very bad one, we had water flowing through our house for almost a week. It was very exciting. It was only later, years later, that I realised how terrible the floods were. They were a major problem for my parents, who lost a lot of money in destroyed crops and lost cattle. And it took a lot of work to get our house back to normal.

    I don't know whether I fear natural disasters today, but I certainly don't think that they are fun any more. When it rains heavily and the roads flood, I'm very annoyed if I have to go anywhere, for example to AUA to work! Thankfully, that doesn't happen very often these days, unlike twenty years ago.

    When I lived on Taiwan, I did fear earthquakes. They do scare me. I was only in one where it was really noticeable, and that wasn't a really bad one, but I don't want to experience a more serious earthquake. THe mild one freaked me out enough. Had it lasted more than a few seconds, I would probably have run screaming from the building.

    Thankfully, Bangkok only ever has very slight earth tremors, not real earthquakes.
