Heartbreaking to see these images from Atacama. It’s a stark reminder of how volatile weather patterns have become globally; we're seeing these extreme "once-in-a-century" floods happening far too frequently now from South America to Asia.

Devastating to see. I wonder if there's any new early warning infrastructure being deployed in these regions to handle these shifts in weather patterns? It feels like "once in a century" storms are happening every few years now. Hope the recovery efforts can get moving quickly.
