🧵 I've put together this thread to show just how much flooding has happened around the world, and this is only for the month of September—and it's not even over yet! Please share this because I don't think the message is getting out there.
UPDATE: A massive fire has engulfed a 14-story building in Valencia's El #Campanar neighborhood in Spain since approximately 5:30 PM.
Fire crews are working to rescue at least two individuals trapped on a balcony while flames surround them. One person has jumped from the first floor onto a mat deployed by emergency services, but their condition is unknown.
A field hospital has been set up nearby, and at least two firefighters have been injured. The President of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, is monitoring the situation.
Emergency services have urged people to stay away from the area to facilitate firefighting efforts.
The fire has spread to another adjacent building, and firefighters continue their rescue operations.
The Generalitat Valenciana has requested that the UME (Military Emergency Unit) be mobilized in the fight against the fire in #Valencia.
Two firefighters with burns and smoke inhalation were taken to La Fe Hospital, a man to the General Hospital, a woman and a man to Doctor Peset Hospital, and a minor to 9 de Octubre Hospital, all due to smoke inhalation.
