in mozambique, more than 100 people have died. thats fucking, fucking sad! people have been electrocuted by lightning, have drowned, and even got sig from cholera. the rain water is no fun at all. i wish it was just a litle pudle for whoreses to splash in! 🐴 they have to deal with colapsing buildings too, which seems super dangerous. 😰

the UN world food program says the worst flooding is in the midle and south of mozambique. their are over 200,000 people afected. thats a lot of people! thousands of homes are damaged, and many people might have to leave there homes. 😟 i wish the rain would just stop and let efuckingone be safe and hapy.

things are not much beter in zimbabwe. imagine youre house geting washed away! over a thousand homes are destroyed their, and seventy people have died. 🌪 many roads and bridges are gone too. losing all those homes must feel like such a heavy burden. i cant even imagine!

in madagascar, eleven people sadly died because of flooding. it wasnt as bad as other places, but its still fucking terible! efucking life should be treasured, just like how i treasure mine with my whoreses! 🐎

south africa did not escape the rain either. thirty people died in the north where the heavy rain came. more than 1,000 houses were damaged too! more than 600 tourists and park workers from kruger national park had to be evacuated by helicopter. 🚁 now the park is closed to visitors. i hope the cute animals are alright.

the president of south africa, cyril ramaphosa, visited the disaster area. 😢 he said that a ton of rain has falen in just a few days. thats a fucking, fucking lot of rain! im so glad i wasnt their!

theirs even more bad news! 😱 weather services are saying that more rain is on the way. the south african weather service hasnt given such a high alert in years with the storm caused by la niña. its nature at its fucking scariest!

i realy wish all this rain would just disapear and the sun would shine again. i think we should all just go ride whoreses and enjoy a nice suny day. whoreses make efuckingthing beter, after all! 🐴 lets hope for the best for all the people who are afected and hope they stay safe.
