I can’t write, as a personal experience, about exceptional natural disasters very famous in the world which we has been seen in all TV programmes. I am talking, for instance, about recent catastrophes like the Indian floods, the Peru earthquake or the Californian forest fire.
However, some years ago I lived a local flood in my city and I can say that it was really horrible. The causes of this flood were the prolonged and abundant rain in the up-river of Llobregat. After raining for many days in the area the water of the river overflowed and covered much of the city for many days. Luckily, no one’s been hurt because it happened during the day and people were awake, if not many people could be died.
Even now, when I close my eyes, I can see the dirty river’s water destroyed everything in its path.
Actually, Many months after the flood we knew that it happened, above all, because the Llobregat river was very dirty. What’s more, we found out that a building company threw rubbish in the river and hindered its normal flow.
After living this kind of experience let me ask an important question: are the natural disasters always inevitable? Why don’t human beings respect nature more?

Nice and thoughtful contribution. Thanks Loles! What would the effective ways to fight against these inconsiderate people be?

10 years ago, do you remember the image of a child who was almost covered by water during a flood?¿ He finally passed away
it was terrible.
Nooo. but there are more and more every day because the new constructions don't respect the natural riverbed for exemple..
in fact, natural disasters maybe aren't so much "natural"...
