Morocco Flood WORSE Than Reported—ONE Year of Rain Fell In 24 Hours (Lakes Are Back)!

Описание: On Sunday, February 8th, 2026, northern Morocco wasn’t waiting for the “big moment”—it was already living inside it. After weeks of relentless rain, the danger stopped being a forecast and became a chain reaction: rivers rising, dams forced to dump water, and towns that couldn’t afford one more night of runoff. When Storm Marta pushed in over the weekend, it hit like a final shove—dumping up to 92 mm of rain in parts of the north, with flash floods turning roads into currents. Near Tétouan, a car was swept away, killing three children and a man—and leaving another person missing—an accident that shows how fast “heavy rain” becomes “no escape.”

By the time officials started ordering people out, it wasn’t just about water in the streets—it was about water with nowhere to go. The Loukkos River rose as authorities launched controlled releases from overfilled dams, and whole areas were told to leave immediately. The Interior Ministry said 143,164 people were evacuated, with up to 85% of Ksar El Kebir emptied—“almost everyone left,” one resident said, describing a town that had turned into silence, shelters, and closed schools.

And then came the part that makes floods feel like a trap: when the danger isn’t only the rain, but the decisions forced by the rain. Morocco’s water authorities reported the release of more than 372 million cubic meters from the Oued Al Makhazine dam—because once a reservoir is beyond safe limits, holding back water becomes its own threat. Residents weren’t just watching the sky; they were watching the dam level and asking what happens if it rises again. One local told Reuters that the city had become “a ghost town,” and that the question everyone feared was simply “what comes next.”

Nationally, the scale was brutal: official figures later cited 188,000 displaced and 110,000 hectares of farmland submerged, with the government announcing a 3 billion dirham flood relief plan to repair roads, restore infrastructure, and support families, farmers, and small businesses. It’s the kind of number that sounds administrative—until you picture it in real terms: fields underwater, neighborhoods cut off, power shut in places, and families sleeping in temporary camps while the rain keeps returning.

That’s the Morocco flooding story in February 2026: not one cinematic wall of water, but a country caught in a pressure system—weeks of saturation, rivers pushed to the edge, and dam releases that have to happen even when communities are already drowning. And the same question people ask in every flood zone, again and again: if it starts tonight, do we still have time to get out?
