Long Term Persistence, eh? Uh, huh.

The videos shared on Chinese social media about the floodings in Henan following the heavy rain really show the severity of the situation. These are some of them. pic.twitter.com/zZMKxvAGAX

Earlier in this thread there was a video of people helping those trapped in lower levels. There is more footage showing other places in Zhengzhou where citizens also joined forces to help those trapped by the water to get out safely. pic.twitter.com/1R9q1JcUtY

More videos coming out on the situation earlier on Tuesday night in the Zhengzhou subway. From what I can find now, the majority of passengers got out safely, but unfortunately, some did not. (Please comment with source link if more is known on this 🙏.) pic.twitter.com/5CyvauugSK

Update 21^st July 2021

Somini Sengupta at The New York Times updates her weekend piece “‘No One Is Safe’: Extreme Weather Batters the Wealthy World” with today’s “Climate Change Comes for Rich Countries“.

My favorite quip from the articles:

… [T]wo essential facts of science and history: The world as a whole is neither prepared to slow down climate change, nor live with it.
