Fierce and unrelenting, Mother Nature, the ultimate step-mom with a bad temper (well, we might've done a bit to contribute to that anger), decided to put on her favorite pair of steel-toed boots, take aim, and kick already beleaguered Libya square in the proverbial 'you-know-what.' Yes, loyal readers, it seems delving into a civil war, thriving on political and social chaos, and playing constant host to territorial feuds among armed groups weren't already enough merriment for the North African poster child of national trauma. No, Mother Nature decided it was high time for floods to round off the party. But of course, she had to make her entrance with a bang, someone sparingly familiar with the concept of subtlety. Detractors may call it climate change, global warming, or even the Greenhouse effect. However, for the cynical and discerning people of Libya, it appears like just another Tuesday—or perhaps Wednesday, as it's a bit hard to keep track with the whole, you know, natural disaster event in full swing. Evidently not satisfied with the desolate sands of the Sahara desert—where cacti die from existential loneliness—Mother Nature felt the irresistible urge to turn parts of Libya into a makeshift Venice, albeit with fewer canals and gondolas, and more of people fervently praying for an 'undo' button for their current geographical coordinates. A Not-Very-Fun fact for our brilliant readers out there: the annual rainfall in Libya is less than 10 inches, making it one of the driest countries in the world. Yet, Mother Nature, ever the surprise party planner, wanted to cover the entire year's quota in just two days. If it wasn't so life-threatening, we'd admire her unyielding commitment to efficiency. Libyans can now add 'aquatic survivalism' to their CVs, a skill most of them hadn't planned acquiring but hey, bonus! Sure, the water may not resuscitate their barren farms, but it should be just about enough to give their kids a thrilling yet horrifying improvised slip-and-slide experience. And with this newfound aquatic ambiance, Libyans must adapt quickly to their new lifestyle. Bedouin tent? Get a houseboat. Camel ride? You might as well consider a dolphin. Also, scuba diving should be included in the school curriculum. It might not aid their future employment prospects but could come in handy every time Mother Nature decides to... redecorate. So as the world watches and puts forward top-notch sympathies like "thoughts and prayers", one can only hope that the resilient Libyan people will devise a way to motivate Mother Nature enough to switch her hobbies—preferably to something less destructive and more aligned with, let's say, botany maybe. Till then, stay tuned to our next gripping edition of 'What will Mother Nature think of next?' Although we're earnestly hoping for a pass on the sequel ‘Libya’s Frogs Plague: Mother Nature's Hopping Hell on a Nation Sunk’.
