Last year's massive flooding in Colorado's Front Range affected a widespread area, destroyed roads and bridges, blocking access to residential areas for extended periods of time, and washed away homes. Based on a study conducted by the University of Colorado Boulder, the tweets sent during the flooding events played an important role in the preliminary reconnaissance of the infrastructure damage and helped geotechnical and structural engineers to more efficiently spend their time and efforts during their visit to the affected areas.
The historic bridge of Keritis, located near the city of Chania in the Greek island of Crete, collapsed after extreme rainfalls struck the region.
At least 12 firefighters were injured and many buildings were damaged after an explosion occurred in Los Angeles.
At least 12 people have been reported dead and around 60 more were trapped under the rubble of a building that collapsed in India.
The risk of flooding can cause severe damage to infrastructure. New evidence revealed that the potential hazard is much higher than expected.
