On the non-Fox Noise News the other night, [okay ... NBC] there was a story on how the weather is becoming more sever, more often. Examples given included the tornado's this year in Missouri & Alabama, the Halloween snow storm in the North East, along with the fires & drought affecting Texas & Oklahoma. Blame it on El Nino, Global Warming. Whatever. Something is changing.
In the past 15-plus years, due to the location & elevation of my land, I have had several instances where the creek in the back of my property has not been able to "handle" the volume of H2O flowing through it. Results: Flooding. According to Jim Cantore on The Weather Channel, the rain & thunder storms we had earlier in the week resulted in a foot of rain in Arkansas. I don't know how much rain we received locally, but I know this was one of the worst examples of flooding on my property which I have witnessed.
Monday was a mess at my home. While my house is elevated enough not to be affected by the H2O, the resulting flooding from the rain -- while quickly dissipating -- leaves behind a soggy mess, which in itself, takes several days to dry out. Below are some examples.
The clean-up has started & hopefully it will be a long time before we have any more "record rains".
