c/Collapse

2 acres of plastic and hazardous material are completely engulfed in flames and could burn for days at a recycling plant just south of Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico.

Hail, tornados and extreme rain to be expected on Monday.

Code red is the highest warning SMHI gives out which means that this will severely affect infrastructure and the people living there. They also tell us that this is a "once every 50 years or even more" event.

Never heard that one before...

The soil here is also full of water from past rains in July so it won't absorb more water.

I don't bother writing a long story about it but if you're interested there's probably an article in english talking about this somewhere, or at least I know it will be talked about in a couple of days.

This is collapse related because flooding is usually not good for any living beings in the area

Hey all, just wanted to recommend a book titled "The col lapse of complex societies" by Joseph Tainter.

The author picks 3 extinct complex civilisations and give the most likely reasons it happened.

It's a book for academia so, half of it is kind of boring because it's really a bibliographical review of different theories but it gets going once the author starts laying out his ideas on complexity, society and economic growth.
