SWITZERLAND – A VILLAGE DESTROYED BY INUNDATIONS – FATAL DISASTER IN SWITZERLAND
In August 2024, the municipality of Brienz in the Bernese Oberland was heavily affected by severe storms that caused extensive flooding and significant damage. Violent thunderstorms on August 12 and 13 triggered flash floods, leading to the evacuation of around 70 residents. The train station and several vehicles were submerged, and debris was scattered across the area. In particular, parts of Brienz, including roads and residential areas, were rendered inaccessible due to flooding and landslides, prompting the authorities to enforce restricted zones for safety reasons
Brienz is a picturesque village located on the northeastern shore of Lake Brienz in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. Renowned for its spectacular mountain scenery and crystal clear lake waters, Brienz is a popular tourist destination. The village has a long tradition in wood carving and is also known for its sculpture museum.
The local community is usually involved in tourism, handicrafts and agriculture. Although the population is small, the area is heavily visited due to its natural beauty and tourist attractions
The floods also affected the local cemetery in Brienz, where several graves were destroyed by the overflowing waters. This was one of the most dramatic consequences of the catastrophe, adding a profound human dimension to the natural impact
Recovery efforts were immediately underway, with rescue teams and firefighters working to clear debris and ensure the safety of the evacuated population. Emergency services also set up temporary shelters for the displaced individuals. Despite the challenging circumstances, the community has been mobilizing resources, and efforts to restore essential services like water and electricity are progressing
The situation has been exacerbated by climate change, which has increased the frequency and severity of these extreme weather events in Switzerland
The floods also affected traffic between Interlaken and Lucerne, as well as transport on Lake Brienz, which was interrupted until 18 August. Although a major disaster was averted thanks to a dam built above the town, the situation remained difficult, with trains and roads temporarily closed.

when and where did this happen
Hola Sebastián , muy triste ver estás imágenes, es muy lamentable lo que viven estás personas , aquí en México el panorama es muy similar, mucha gente ha perdido todo su patrimonio que les costó muchos años construir, y en segundos perdieron todo, mis oraciones con toda esa gente que está viviendo está tragedia,un fuerte abrazo 🤗🤗🤗 bendiciones🙏🙏🙏
Какой ужас… Сама живу в горах, сочувствую…. От всей души.
Purtroppo questo è il risultato dei cambiamenti climatici in atto….stiamo pagando le conseguenze delle nefandezze umane per decenni… anche a Zermatt era successo, anche a Cogne, Cervinia…tutto molto recentemente….tristezza infinita….🙏🙏🙏🙏spero che la popolazione riesca a risollevarsi nel modo migliore al più presto❤
Помогут ли им власти построить заново дома? Напишите пожалуйста .
Ha lesz idöm megsajnálom őket!!!van lé mindenre!!!behúztak minket a bankárjaik!!!a karma az karma
Поражаюсь тому, что там такие ровные лужайки!!! И нет кустов полыни и репейника, и других высоких кустов растений, пустырника, как у нас, на Урале,!
Перед природой мы бессильны. Швейцария с высоким уровнем жизни, восстоновят.Жителей жалко страху натерпелись.
Рай превратился в ужас! Государство возмещает населению ущерб, нанесенный стихией?

Gelungenes Video sehr interessant. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
This is totally devastating and my prayers go out to all of the residents who must be so traumatized . Their environment and daily lives have been violated and ripped apart . Nature is a massively mighty force which we humans and our pets and other animals have no real chance of fighting against . We have a tendency to become overly complacent in calm times and forget dangers , but the truth is that our daily lives are very unpredictable. The Bible tells those who choose to read it that "You do not know what your life will be like tomorrow" and incidents like this disaster prove it .Material things ,too, can be taken from us in seconds . It also prophesied that earthquakes and other types of disaster would happen during the last days of Satan's cruel , chaotic rulership , bringing utter misery . Such things have of course happened in the past within the natural world , but what the Bible Prophecies mean is that during these last days they will happen randomly and more frequently and sometmes rapidly one after another and overlap . Add to that the various wars going on and it becomes even more terrifying . The fact is that any one of us watching this video could be hit out of the blue by something totally beyond our control and it has nothing to do with God . Satan can control the elements . He has free reign over us and them … but not for much longer . True Christians know that God will keep his promise to mankind to put a stop permanently to all wickedness on the earth and renew / heal it ready for the resurrected righteous and unrighteous ones to inhabit after Armageddon .It will be the new Jerusalem …his promised perfect new Kingdom Paradise eternally .
I'm only saying all this to give hope to all who have been affected by various types of disasters be they earthquakes,wild fires ,floods, famine , deliberate wars …whatever … that our God , through Jesus Christ his Son and our Saviour WILL intervene on his Day of Armageddon.However , only he himself knows the exact day and time it will happen because surprise is the best element of attack . Satan doesn't know exactly when it will happen but he knows his reign is almost over . The scriptures do warn us that it will be very sudden … that it will come " like a thief in the night" but until then we must put our trust and faith in God . He has never broken a promise/ covenant in the past …it isn't in him to do that because his core essence is of pure Truth and honesty . I pray for him to give spiritual strength to all of those who are suffering in all ways worldwide , that they can cope until he intervenes to help us all and restore eternal Peace and safety to the earth .🕊️

Devastating for brienz , a place I visited in 1986 while on holiday in Switzerland. Unfortunately one of the risks living here, many generations can have no problems and then comes a disaster, hopefully a long time before such an occurance again.
