Storm Daniel, an intense tropical-like Mediterranean cyclone which formed near Greece on September 4th, has brought heavy rain to Libya, resulting in the failure of two dams on the same river system, causing the deaths of many thousands of people in the Libyan port city of Derna. Apparently one dam, up river, failed first, causing the other dam nearer to Derna to also burst (presumably due to the tidal wave of water sweeping downstream as a result of the first dam failure). The result is extensive devastation and loss of life in Derna.
We'll never know. I mean, look at the supposedly blown-up Nordstream pipeline which still has bizarrely never been repaired (if it is in fact was actually destroyed).
But dams can and do fail. They take enormous amounts of maintenance too which probably isn't happening in Killary's old playground. I'd tend to lean towards natural decay in this one...
Thanks for reporting on this important part of the picture. I also "noted" this... "So it seems the UK news is committing a sin of omission by showing the worst of the floods in Libya, and not mentioning that the most devasting images’ cause is due to crumbling infrastructure, so that the narrative fits their agenda. Once you catch the media doing this once, you should never trust them again…" https://substack.com/@garysharpe/note/c-40067174
“As many as 20,000 people are feared dead. The climate fraudsters wasted no time suggesting a link to the imaginary ‘climate crisis’ but, unlike the Lahaina fire, also co-opted by the climate catastrophists, which killed somewhat fewer Hawaiians than the Derna dam collapses have killed Libyans, there appears to be no associated endless flood of speculation about a globalist conspiracy to destroy Derna using weather modification and/or exotic weaponry to murder its residents and build on the prime real estate or convert it to a 15 minute city or whatever. No guys in baseball caps and dark shades making videos on Youtube about the supposed damning evidence of an unnatural weather event or anomalous patterns of destruction suggestive of malign technological intervention. Why is that?”
I suppose that the slogan “Everything Happening Is Planned” -- so popular with the fans of the idea that the burning of Lahaina was accomplished by lasers/masers/directed-energy-weapons based in the earth’s orbit -- doesn’t apply to what happens in Africa. Could it really be that simple?

I'm glad to see someone got round to looking into the real issues behind this disaster. Thanks for this timely piece of common sense.
And I learned a new word - medicane - too!
Me too! Sounds a lot like medicare! I was initially wondering what health care had to do with weather events . . . . .
20,000 additional victims of the Obama/Clinton death machine based on their desire to destabilize the world.
