Yeah...we've gotten quite a bit of rain and wind here on the Olympic peninsula...with more to come tonight and tomorrow.

I did laugh about "OMG! It's gonna rain! Let's close the schools!"

It's called an Ark Storm.

[Brovane]

We need some more rain. Hopefully not to much at once. :thumbsup:

I'm embarrassed for the USGS. For all their money-grubbing ways I've never known them to engage in sensationalism before. That was ripe for the History channel.

I liked it. Their "money grubbing way" have allowed for preparedness for floods, earthquakes pretty much all sorts of natural disasters. That represents how many trillions of dollars and lives? Might as well say that investing in medical research is useless moneygrubbing.

I think the only people who don't understand just what a flood can do have never seen one. I've seen whole towns underwater. That's not an inconvenience , it's a tragedy that "dirty bombs", the WTC, terrorism in general can't even begin to touch in terms of real damage and misery. If there are intelligent space faring species let's hope that they don't grade others on the ability to understand real dangers, both short and long term. We'd not be much ahead of the amoeba.

So, over 3,000 dead americans on 9/11, and 6,700 dead American soldiers in the resulting war, a nation in terror, a resulting middle east holocaust at the hands of american weaponry, $5 trillion in treasure, loss of freedoms, over 3,000 families scarred for life, etcetera, can't hold a candle to a bunch of flooded houses?
I just wanted to check to make sure that's what you meant.

Here's a "bunch of flooded houses"

You really ought to know your subject material before going all " evil terrorists are the worst".

Now maybe those numbers pale in comparison to the WTC or what terrorist organizations are doing? Terrorists were just squatting I suppose.

Most of the video wasn't even about California?

I am not too impressed by somewhat ill informed people who build a house next to an ocean or river. It is a risk you will probably lose.

"The wise man built his house upon a rock ... and the house on the sand was washed away!"

Reminds me of an LDS childs hymn from the childrens hymnbook.

Here's the fatality data for the US for the past few years.

You compared it to a flood. You didn't happen to mention "The world's greatest disasters" type of flooding. LOL ok ya I guess you win?
