First of all let me say that my thoughts and hopes are with the people of the Texas coastal bend, especially for Coolie who I have verbally sparred with many times on this board.
That all is just political B.S. and has no bearing on my hopes that he and his family are safe.
Now on to what CONservatives have turned into a political issue when it's NOT.
This is a one in 1000 year event(get used to that changing). As the National Weather Service stated in a tweet " we have never seen anything like this, unprecedented."
A few years ago edreed4preez and I had this discussion on this forum and I brought up how the extra 5% moisture we've added to the atmosphere because of the increased warming would cause extreme rainfall events like we've never seen......well, here we are.
Some areas around Houston will recieve close to 50 inches probably when this thing is done.
That area has had 5 one hundred year rain events in the last 16 years.....let that sink in before you post the usual idiotic " Hurricanes happen all the time" or " flooding is normal for that area."
For you Trumptards that means flooding events that should happen once every 100 years have now happened 5 times in the last 16 years.
Record breaking events....one after the other:
Katrina
Sandy
Haiphan (spelling?)
And now Harvey
AGW doesn't care about your politics....the best is yet to come, stay tuned.
