Is the mountain torrents in Longcaogou, Pengzhou related to earthquake flood discharge? Official rumors! What caused the flash floods?

It is dangerous to stay away from the river in summer, especially in mountainous areas where the weather changes greatly. In case of sudden flash floods, it is a race with death! Moreover, Longcaogou is not a scenic spot, surrounded by fences and warning signs! But sometimes people's safety awareness is not strong, and they take chances, which leads to the tragedy of August 13!

There is a social news that has attracted much attention these two days. On August 13, a flash flood broke out in Longcaogou, Dong Xiaoyu Community, Longmenshan Town, Pengzhou City, and tourists who had not left the river were caught in the flash flood. As of August 14, the flash flood disaster has caused 7 deaths and many minor injuries. So how did this accident happen? Let's analyze it from the following angles:

Weather factors: Although the weather in Pengzhou was mainly sunny on June 38+03, the accident occurred in the mountainous area, and due to the slight difference in vertical height, the airflow was prone to form strong convection. Especially in August, the local climate changes greatly.

Geographical factors: The accident happened in a river surrounded by mountains. In geography class, teachers often mention that the low-lying areas in the mountains are extremely dangerous, because whether it is floods, mudslides or landslides, they will eventually flow to the low-lying areas.

Human factors: Judging from the information disclosed at present, it is obvious that some managers kept reminding tourists to leave as soon as possible before the incident, which is a risk of flash floods, but most tourists are slow to respond. Moreover, at the moment of the accident, some tourists were packing their belongings and missed the most precious escape opportunity. Moreover, in summer, it is also taboo to choose to enjoy the cool in the river and set up tents for outdoor travel. There have been several flash floods in summer in China.

Other factors: the place where the incident happened was not the scenic spot, but the punching place in the network celebrities, which is what we call it? Wild scenic spots? . Many tourists are attracted by the videos on some platforms. And there were several accidents in this scenic spot many years ago. Some dangerous areas in the river have been blocked with fences and warning signs have been set up early. But it still can't stop tourists from going downstream.

Summary: Warning signs are useless. Therefore, from many aspects, the accident is more like a man-made than a natural disaster. The deceased has passed away, and I hope this painful lesson will make more tourists take warning. Whenever and wherever, always abide by the rules, fear nature and put safety first.
