According to research by geologists, they predict that the water level of the Negro River will continue to rise throughout June, and flooding may inundate many places in and around the city.
Brazil is currently making every effort to provide disaster relief and move all affected people to safe states.
However, disaster prevention experts from many countries said that cities along the entire Amazon River may be affected by disasters and called on people to be prepared to evacuate. It is estimated that this flood will cause up to one million people to become homeless and may even become extinct.
For local indigenous communities, the risk is incredibly high."

Heartbroken. Evacuation operations are already underway urgently, and areas affected by the disaster are being engulfed. Teasle reminded people to maintain communication, take care of each other, be prepared to evacuate immediately, and seek refuge in shelters across the state.
At the same time, the Federal Weather Service has issued flood warnings for neighboring Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and other states. These places will also face the arrival of floods and are expected to be affected.
The population will exceed 20 million.
The former chief economist of the World Bank said that the Great Depression in Citigroup and the Great Recession in the global economy are inevitable. The recent severe floods that have occurred around the world will completely change the global pattern, and the global economy will face the worst situation in modern times.
The risk of war has arisen."

"Some meteorological experts say that these sudden floods around the world are related to the El Niño phenomenon. This is an abnormal natural phenomenon that can lead to chaotic weather conditions, and excessive precipitation triggers floods."
…
The roaring torrent roared past, smashing down buildings and sweeping away everything along the way. The dark color was shocking.
The floods came too fast, and there were too many people to evacuate. This city along the Black River called Manaus was like hell at the moment.
Bagbo was holding on to a large wooden board, which was being washed and rolled by the torrent. Only the roar of the flood could be heard in his ears, and he could not even hear his own shouts.
He and his family, students, and colleagues evacuated from San Gabriel da Cachoela to Manaus, but now, the flood has also submerged Manaus, and more than two million people have fallen into the turbulent waves. Supernatural power must be
Supernatural powers…
When he first saw the flood with the students on the Negro River that morning, he knew this. This could not be any natural phenomenon...
The surrounding streets that were originally near the hospital had turned into a vast ocean. Some figures were struggling and flashing in the torrent, but in the blink of an eye, they were swallowed up by the black water.
"Ah..." Bagbo wailed, his hands still holding the big wooden board tightly, knowing his fate, but still unwilling to let go.
But he couldn't hold on for long. He fell ill, a very strange disease. The disease progressed rapidly in the past few days, and he had symptoms of stiffness and pain all over his body.
And the water level is still rising, and the flood is getting more violent, as if suddenly, the dam completely collapsed.
Before, I could barely block it, but now all my protection has been shattered.
There will be a great wailing throughout the land of Egypt, such as there was never before, and there will never be another wailing...
At this time, Bagbo felt that the pain in his hands was getting stronger and stronger, and he was getting stiffer and stiffer. The inexplicable torrent in his body was faster, and the inexplicable bloody pyramid in front of him was bigger... Every blood vessel was being impacted by the black river water.
Every piece of flesh is rolling...
Suddenly, he could no longer hold on, the board in his hand was washed away, and he himself was swept away by the flood.
At a certain moment, he seemed to see his family members and students who were also trapped in the torrent, surrounding him.
The black river water poured into his mouth and into his lungs. Bagbo could not breathe, and his heart gradually stopped in pain. The bloody pyramid that kept appearing in front of him replaced everything he could sense...
…He is already part of the pyramid.
…
“Everyone will see it, come one by one, don’t crowd, line up, everyone will see it!”
The waiting room of the Orthopedic Surgery Department on the fifth floor of the outpatient complex of Jikang Hospital in Dahua City was crowded with patients who came for treatment. A team of Tianji personnel wearing air-tight protective suits hurried past. In less than a dozen people,
Hours later, the number of patients surged and spread across the entire population regardless of age or gender.
Screams of pain, children's cries, and some anxious curses all echoed in the waiting room.
At first, the patients could wait patiently, but soon they realized something was wrong. There were too many people, too concentrated, and the symptoms seemed to be the same...
Because everyone is holding and pressing a body part and complaining about pain, and the nurses just bring ice packs to apply. They only need to ask each other, and they know that they both have sudden acute bone pain, and the joints are painful.
I can't move anymore...
This discovery immediately filled the waiting room with panic, the patients became restless, and the hospital security guards could hardly control themselves.
After the arrival of Tianji personnel, the panic became a reality. All the patients were excited and frightened, and some of them screamed.
"What is going on? What is going on!?"
"We haven't eaten anything..."
"Look at my child, he's in severe pain."
In this team of Tianji personnel, many of the protective suits have young faces, and they can only try their best to maintain the order that may collapse at any time.
They are students who were urgently transferred from Tianji University by the organization and have not yet completed their studies.
But they generally knew that they had to go into battle. The situation in the waiting room in front of them not only happened in Jikang Hospital, but also in other hospitals in Dahua City, and hospitals in other cities... Suddenly, it broke out completely.
"Doctor, the elbow joint of my left hand suddenly hurts. I haven't done any heavy work. I'm a little tired from playing on my mobile phone, but..."
In one of the consultation rooms, Dr. Xiao Gang listened to another patient's frightened talk, but he himself was at a loss.
Muscular Ossification Progressive Progressive Muscle Ossification Progressive Muscle Ossification Progressive Muscle Ossification Progressive… again.
Or it is more accurate to call it the "petrified disease" explained by the Tianji Bureau training. But what is different from foreign cases is that these patients all started from acute bone pain in a certain joint, and did not develop slowly or even take a few days.
The speed of time.
It seemed that the condition that had been suppressed before suddenly broke out, causing this acute bone pain.
Xiao Gang now knows that this disease is related to supernatural forces and cannot be understood with common sense.
But he couldn't understand it at all.
"Doctor? Doctor?" the patient across the desk asked urgently.
At first, Xiao Gang asked the patient to take X-rays and measure the levels of alkaline phosphatase and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase according to the procedures prescribed by the Tianji Bureau. Now he hesitates and cannot say anything.
Yes, it is petrochemical disease, and the imaging department and laboratory department of Jikang Hospital have long been unable to cope with it.
Xiao Gang leaned back on the chair in confusion. Suddenly, his right shoulder joint felt a little painful due to the pull.
