Too much rain in Spain
A year’s worth of rain fell in just eight hours in Spain, causing the country’s worst floods in decades that have killed at least 158 people.
This is Valencia, Spain. A city of warmth, resilience, and beauty.
I’ve always been proud to call this place my home.
But today, Valencia is unrecognizable. Just two days ago, a catastrophic flood swept through, turning our beloved streets into rivers. pic.twitter.com/k1tmLPmdYT

Fountain of faeces
Footage circulating on social media shows a geyser of sewage that reportedly shot up beyond a high-rise building from an underground pipe in Moscow, Russia.
Moscow Telegram channels report that the sewage system in Moscow broke down.

Awkward rally moment
US presidential candidate Kamala Harris might be used to raucous support at her rallies, but an unusual attempt to start a new chant resulted in a moment of abrupt, awkward quiet.
You have got to see this! During tonight’s rally, the atmosphere shifted dramatically when Kamala Harris invited the crowd to not only chant her name but also shout their own….Awkward! 😂 pic.twitter.com/xIdQTCBeqC

Fiery votes
A ballot drop box in Vancouver, Washington, was set on fire with incendiary devices. An unknown amount of ballots were destroyed, but almost 500 were salvaged.
Two other ballot boxes were similarly attacked, in what has been labelled as an attack on democracy amid the heated presidential election race.

Baseball fans go too far
Two New York Yankees fans were ejected from a World Series game and banned from another after one pried a ball from Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts’ glove.
There’s no other way to spin this. These two Yankee fan a-holes need to be arrested, fined, banned from ever entering ANY stadium, and maybe even jail time as a deterrent for any future Yankee fan a-holes thinking of trying something similar! #WorldSeries pic.twitter.com/DNH4fwFwfl

Actor runs for charity
By running the Dublin marathon, Colin Farrell reportedly raised more than $1.2 million for Debra Ireland, an organisation that supports people with the incurable condition epidermolysis bullosa, which causes fragile, blistering skin.
Farrell completed the final few kilometres of the course while pushing his friend Emma Fogarty, who lives with the condition, in a wheelchair.
Musical icons hug it out
While performing at her Las Vegas residency, Adele noticed Céline Dion in the crowd and shared an emotional hug.
“I have been performing in Celine Dion’s room at the Colosseum for almost 2 years now. 4 weeks to go!,” Adele later shared on Instagram.
“It was the only venue I wanted to play in Vegas because it was built for her.
“I have a picture of her right next to the stage that I touch every night before I walk on and she came to the show this weekend and it was a surprise and it was a MOMENT!!”
