Ventura County is upstaffing fire crews for rain on Monday/Tues/Wednesday in case of flash flooding. I blame this on my removal of my vinyl rain gutters two weekends ago. #rain #CAwx #flooding #VenturaCounty

Yesterday: I've had it with hearing the same story over and over again—another 100-year-plus rainfall event, another tragic result from people occupying the floodplain without an adequate warning system. More pain. More loss. https://www.texasobserver.org/flooding-houston-hill-country-planning/

"The total amount of rainfall is not really changing but it is being condensed into more of these short, high-intensity events and then longer periods of drought. So we’re basically getting more drought and more #floods because the rainfall is being condensed into these high-intensity events." https://www.texasobserver.org/hill-country-rural-texas-resources-floods/

#ChapelHillNC & #CarrboroNC are still digging out from TS #Chantal. Damage to sidewalks, bike paths, & other non-car infrastructure is widespread, but crews are out busting their butts to fix stuff.
Many ways to document problems to #walking & #biking connections, incl. go.unc.edu/chantalbikeped

Deadly flooding hit parts of New Mexico yesterday, while significant street flooding occurred in Chicago. Flooding risks should cover the Carolinas through New Jersey today, with a focus on Virginia perhaps. The tropics remain calm.

Several more inches of #rain are expected Sunday in areas of Central #Texas already devastated by #flooding. Up to 4" could fall Sunday, w/ isolated areas potentially receiving up to 10" thru Monday, per #NWS.
Jason Runyen, a meteorologist for Austin, San Antonio & the surrounding areas, said that while river levels across the region had receded, more rain could exacerbate flooding in the area. Flash flooding in the region killed >67 people, w/dozens missing.

Absolutely horrific what happened to the Christian camp in #Texas. All those lives lost. The flashflood warnings came two hours late. 600 fired from NOOA. Coincidence?
I think what happened was that #God mixed up #Noaa and #Noah. #flood #flooding #flashflood #climatechange #news #usnews.
