About this recording
Published 2026-10-05. October is only five days old. Yet one part of Crete has already received more than 17 inches of rain in two days, with destructive flooding, landslides, rescues and one confirmed death. Meanwhile, millions are affected by flooding in Thailand, a powerful typhoon has intensified in the Pacific, and deadly floods have hit parts of Spain and Senegal. And those are only some of the disasters we’re tracking tonight. This archived recording reflects reporting at publication; conditions may have changed.
