For those millions of people in the flood plains from record rain and record setting creeks and river highs...
You have my Sympathies, I wish and hope that your recovery is swift and complete.
With global warming, melting ice packs, raising ocean levels, there is much more weather being experienced.
I fear this is just the beginning of more to come.
As I've seen scenario's of what a future might hold with rising global temperatures, It has to start somewhere.
Once in 100 year floods are going to become the normal, and 90% our population is based on or near water.
Look around Google Earth. You'll find population densities in valleys on large scale wash outs inland.
Even in the desert, on a large scale that is where the populous is. Look at Los Vegas for example.
Major cities on the oceans are near river outlets. Even the great lakes have large cites at river outlets.
Our country was set up at a time the best way to get around was by water, and it hasn't changed.
Flood insurance is constantly raising to the point it isn't affordable.
Yet, they are running in a deficit which seams to keep growing.
Our aging damns and levy's were never built for which they are experiencing.
Droughts for years, followed by record snow, rain and flooding. Mother Nature is not happy with us.
I use to think these people called preppers where just paranoid people.
I am now asking myself, "Is Paranoia may be a good thing"?
