The original video shared by The CLEO Institute features a message displayed in the store after the flash flood. “If a few inches can have this effect on you, imagine what a few feet can do. Florida could stop being Florida if we don’t take action soon. Rising seas, extreme heat and chronic flooding are already affecting us,” reads the message.

A customer is heard saying in the video that she was scared by the flash flood and added about the change the crisis could bring to Florida. “I feel like it could eventually disappear. It wouldn’t be like Sunshine State anymore. Like you said it would be like The Emergency State. Yeah!” she said.

Thousands of people have been killed and millions have been displaced in the aftermath of floods and extreme heatwaves. A Reuters report said that over the past three months, flooding caused by monsoon rains wreaked havoc in Bangladesh and brutal heat waves seared parts of South Asia and Europe.
