Easy Big Boy! You may be heading for another "turd" moment.
Until a little over one month ago, much of Texas was declared to be in a severe drought. That situation has taken a sharp 180 degree turn, lakes have risen more than twenty feet and there is extensive flooding. Neither governor Greg Abbott nor all the treehuggers in Austin had anything to do with this....they just wish they could claim they did. Californians will be complaining about mudslides soon enough and politicians will continue to assign blame and tax the survivors.
The tornado sirens went off here about 45 minutes ago and a tornado was spotted on the ground about seven miles north of where I live. This comes with the territory whenever you get over eight inches of rain in a 72 hour period.
It's good to see that you haven't lost your touch even after a week in the penalty box. :rofl:
Part of the problem is that most of California (Southern, at least, where we get the mudslides) is essentially desert. A very small amount of rain, if it comes down too fast to be absorbed, can cause a huge amount of damage. And usually does.
