Well it looks like the global warming alarmists may have nailed it

[rurallib]

At least based on my little section of Iowa. More severe storms, incredible downpours where it does rain. Longer and more severe droughts where it doesn't.
Anybody need a few feet of water?

1. You stay safe, time in the morning for me to make some calls

and try to get some cavalry sent there... damn

2. my local weather jerk was asked if this has to do w/global warming

and he assured all of us that no, it has nothing to do with it. this system will pass. and that will be that.

whew! what a fucking relief. i'd hate to think this is going to be a pattern

(it's true that i would hate to think it is going to be a pattern)

4. global warming is a conspiracy designed to line the pockets of scientists

Cars do not emit CO2.

The Greenhouse effect does not exist.

The sun spots are just giving off more heat.

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

11. (hey, my local weather jerk is yours too. i was watching channel

2, 5, or 7. i think it was channel 5 but i can't be sure. maybe it was local chicago fox for the 9 o'clock news. anyway--it was someone out of chicago)

yeah..."a conspiracy designed to line the pockets of scientists"

:rofl:

3. when the flooding occured in Indiana, it was rain like I've never seen before.

[rurallib]

5. I cannot even remember when last we had a gentle little all day soaker

Now when it rains it comes down like a biblical deluge.

6. Ho. Ly. Shit.

Looks like NOLA. Unbelievable.

7. Oh, what a heartbreak

[Shoelace]

8. Natural Disasters up 400% in 2 decades -

looks like the "Day after Tomorrow" decided to happen today. Geez, already, more tornadoes than ever before and they can't see the ones that happen at night so they're probably under-reported. The Jet Stream has moved farther north (they predicted that would happen) so places that never had this weather before get it now.

9. Sometime soon. Within the next four years. We and our government are going to realize

that there is something happening here. And that we are going to need to start doing something about it. Things like moving away from rivers and the ocean. More complicated things like finding alternate sources of energy and better conserving those sources we have left. We must be willing to adapt and change. Big time.

[Shoelace]

10. and most large cities have big rivers through them

so imagine the mass exodus, relocations and that's not including farmland, farm animals (that really breaks my heart when I see all the drowned cows, horses, etc). Then there's in place shelters for areas in tornadoes paths which are becoming so much more numerous. It's a nightmare.

12. Adn to add to you r problems

FEMA and Blackwater will be gouging you guys...
they will show up in a few days, once the immediate need is gone,and will
have figured out a way to make a profit off the flood.
Send us news when that happens....

meanwhile, I have friends in CR and in Des Moines, so appreciate the info. you posted.
