This is just what we know. The general feeling is that this will be the worst flood to ever hit pakistan. Ultimately worse than the flood of 2010. The relief effort needed will be extraordinary. Will be asked ordinary. It will be dangerous, as well. Pakistan has lost a helicopter and six soldiers in the early ever. It seems clear we are in a situation because of Climate Change. There are always monsoons in pakistan, but it is significantly higher than any before that. It is record runoff or glaciers. The temperatures contribute to the rainfall.
