I agree

no such thing as Man Made climate change

Freak temporary climate changes Yes

just like back in the 1800's we had a year with No summer in PA.

That said, 2 weeks from now after 4 days in the 70's someone will be crying for Rain

 

[cyberdan]

going to be almost 100* here today with 50-60 MPH wind gusts.

that's one other thing besides rains I do not like about Spring here

If we get nice Sunny Warm days, The wind picks up out of the west with 30, 40 mph Gusts which seem to double in the valleys
very irritating when detecting.

but at least they removed the 7+ days of Rain from our weather reports here

We had a flooding event last fall, but not near this bad. The last time we've seen flooding on this scale was from Ivan in 2004. My car has water in it, that has never happened before, but during Ivan I had a Blazer so it had more clearance. Several people in the area aren't as lucky. There is a lot of devestation. It will be months before they can get all the roads and bridges fixed.

Natural disasters are not fun to live thru...

A while back we moved from SoCal to NorCal, at the terminus of the San Andreas Fault (earthquake) where it enters the Pacific Ocean...and about 2 feet above the psunami high water limits...

And 10 miles from here is a river valley that get an annual rainfall of between 200 and 300 inches...the highest in the continental US...

 

[Produce Guy]

Send some to Texas,I've only have gotten 3 inches all year.

Northwest Florida. I'm a bit east of Pensacola. I'm sure there will be a lot of national news coverage from Pensacola on the evening news tonight. Even before this storm we were well above average on total rainfall for the for the year.

I miss both PA & FL and now find myself in Missouri. I'd take all that water and then some to be back in those areas.

 

[texasred777]

Gee, so much to respond to. I'm in Idaho, Mtn, Home, where our normal moisture is 6" to 9" per year!! Send us some of it. I grew up in central Texas. We got that much rain in a week sometime! I remember sometime in late 90s in Waco, TX, we got a lot of rain in just about 24 hours. I was at a marina, fishing, about 11 a.m., when a weather warning was issued to expect heavy rains for the remainder of the day and into the night. I packed up and got into the pickup just as the rain started. The next morning, after seeing some local news reports of flooding, I went looking. When I tried to go down to the marina, I saw two of the men that worked there sitting on the back of a pickup at the entrance road to the marina. Water was at the entrance. They had spent the night at the marina loosening the tethers that held the marina in place, so that they wouldn't break and the marina wouldn't go floating off down to some other part of the lake. Their pickup had been driven to higher ground before the flooding started. They were wet from wading/swimming from the marina that was about a quarter of a mile from the entrance. They told that the owner came down the evening before and pulled his new travel trailer out to higher ground with his pickup; but when her returned to get his Jaguar out, the water was already too high. It was under water for about a week; total loss. It was only about 6 months old. The underground gasoline tank for the marina, that was about half full of fuel, was on the shore across from the marina when the water receded.

At one point, Pensacola got 5.7 inches of rain in one hour. Doppler radar estimates are much lower than actual totals. Some parts of the area had up to 26 inches all in a 36 hour period. Over 75,000 lightning strikes were recorded. 9000 of them in one 15 minute period.

It will be interesting to see how the insurance companies weasel out of this one.

Sorry, not a named storm- for flood damage it has to be a named storm.

Sorry, this was not a flood, it was rising water, not a declared flood event.

Sorry, this was a flood due to an unnamed storm, you have to have extra flood insurance.

Sorry, this was a thunderstorm, we don't cover thunderstorms.

Sorry, you have a rising water named storm policy, not a flood policy.

Sorry, you have a flood policy, not an unnamed rising water policy.

We rebooted our database and discovered that your policy was not in effect yesterday.

Sorry, you have to have drowned to make a claim.

I would say many, if not most of the people did not have flood insurance. The tax payer will likely foot the bill when FEMA starts handing out checks. The more well to do who have homes on the gulf cannot get flood insurance. Their homes were destroyed during Opal, so they rebuilt with FEMA money. They got wiped out again by Ivan. Guess who ponied up the cash?

Dang! Think of all the bugs that will be looking for high ground.

Tough weekend for sales here. It was hard to tell a yard sale from people cleaning out their flooded homes.
