I don't think it's hyperbole. Some civil servant assessed that the peak of the floods would cover a third, the minister simplified that by pretending that the peak is right now, all over the country. Even if the minister is wrong and the peak is a little later in some parts of the country than in others, that's IMO no significant difference. Just a detail, really. A simplification, not hyperbole.
Sigh.
We won't care about this flood. We won't really care even when the Central Valley of California is submerged, and that's full of rich people. And today I saw another new species of insect on the balcony. More southern species show up here every summer.
