East Dallas recorded 15 inches of rain, storm is expected to move into Louisiana with more flooding.

NJ also received almost 6 inches of rain today although not a record.

Time to adjust the prediction tools for flooding to a warmer planet.

Uh oh! Better give more money to Democrats so they can make the water levels recede!

Maybe the Western states can build a big huge storm drain from the East that flows into Lake Mead.

Can't say I'm surprised. The Biden administration is cursed and literally nothing good has happened since that fool and his party rigged and stole the Presidency.

I'm expecting locust plagues before this national nightmare is over in 2024.

They can move it to KS, I think we have had drought for at least 3 decades. I tend to believe that the industrial wind farms are causing havoc with the weather. If you have never seen them, you just have no idea. There are hundreds of them here, and we are surrounded by them. Wind gusts like never before (90 mph), hotter temps in summer (several 100+ days) and colder in winter, (several below freezing days) so I am thinking they are messing up the upper atmosphere. Their purpose is a transfer of wealth, as the industry was heavily subsidized by using lies about the efficiency and life of the turbines. Of course, now it is time to transfer wealth based on electric cars (something that they developed in the 1970s - I saw them in a showroom in Elkhart, IN in 1972.)

So, we have drought and the aquifer is drying up where the industrial beef industry is. Rain? What rain?

Someone mentioned Lake Meade:

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/im...keeps-dropping

"Continuing a 22-year downward trend, water levels in Lake Mead stand at their lowest since April 1937, when the reservoir was still being filled for the first time. As of July 18, 2022, Lake Mead was filled to just 27 percent of capacity."

"Is draining human-made Lake Powell a practical solution to drought in the West?"

Dallas, huh? Well just a little ways down the road in Austin we've been 51 days without rain which is the eighth longest period on record. If you expand your field of view just a little then Texas looks more like average.

Stop zeroing in with your microscope on one spot that proves some point you're out to make. You appear dishonest when you do that.

Yes some places have a lack of rain whatever that has to do with those places with 1 in 1000 year floods, I guess it's a wash?

Some places are experiencing droughts, some fires others record high temperatures.

It's raining now in Austin and expect some severe weather tonight but not as bad as Dallas and Louisiana.

Mother Nature has been on a flooding spree all over the world this summer, the most fun she's had in decades. She's tired of being used as a toxic waste dump and she's telling us all: Fasten your Seatbelts, this is only the beginning. She's also praying for a very prolonged economic depression to help heal the Planet.

What "1000 year storm" really means:

https://www.climate.gov/news-feature...%20each%20year.

Just for a comparison, where I grew up in NWPA had two (2) 10,000 year floods six months apart in 1996. One was caused by rapid snow melt and ice dams on the various rivers and creek while the other was from a storm.
