How dangerous is the rainstorm in the city?

A city has a great feature, that is, its population density is high. Once severe weather disasters such as rainstorm occur, the consequences will be very serious.

If the city is hit by heavy rain, then traffic paralysis is certain, and then it may lead to power outages and water cuts that affect normal life, and even cause serious casualties.

First, the traffic is paralyzed.

This is easy to understand. Everyone saw the heavy rainfall in Luohe. When there is a rainstorm, the transportation system of this city bears the brunt. Because of the heavy and urgent rainfall, the urban drainage system can't keep up with this speed, which leads to the accumulation of rainwater on the road.

Urban roads under heavy rain immediately turned into rivers. No wonder the majority of netizens have a funny saying that they finally know why they have to pay travel tax when buying a car.

Many times, especially when the drainage system can't keep up with the speed of precipitation, it will take several days for a rainstorm to return to normal.

Second, normal life is affected.

Everyone should know that rainstorm is very easy to cause power failure. The distribution of wires in the city is too dense, especially some street lamps, which are exposed all the year round, and the aging of lines is inevitable. In case of rainstorm, these aging lines will cause short circuit at any time, and even burn out the lines.

As for the moisture content, this is easy to understand. Although there is no direct relationship between water consumption and electricity consumption, the water supply will definitely stop after a long power outage, because the operation of the pump needs electricity to drive. Without electricity, the pump can't move, and the water supply will naturally stop.

Third, casualties.

The most terrible thing is this. Due to the security risks caused by heavy rain, casualties are likely to occur. Just like this heavy rainfall, there have been 12 deaths in Henan, which is terrible to think about.

Heavy rain will lead to serious road water accumulation, which may lead to pedestrian drowning accidents; Heavy rain will also lead to the collapse of buildings, which may endanger the lives of passers-by at any time; Heavy rain can also lead to electric shock accidents, and electric shock may occur in areas where electricity leaks.

As for other unusual accidents, no one can say for sure. Natural disasters may cause too many problems, and human beings are very small in front of it.

Compared with the sparsely populated rural areas, the danger of urban rainstorm is much greater. I remember one year when it rained heavily here, an underground shop was flooded as a whole, and merchants suffered heavy losses, and some even closed down. Although there were no casualties, such economic losses were unbearable. For ordinary people like us, any disaster is fatal.
