Nah. I've seen plenty of Gators. That would be a fricking enormous one. It's a log that looks more like a crocodile than an alligator.

Floods never happened before humans existed, never.

They've gotten worse, wake up and smell what you're shoveling.

No they haven't, moron.

This has nothing to do with climate change.

The set up was driven by a monster El Nino and it being October.
The heat content of the water is another discussion. While I can't directly connect this situation to climate change, warmer planet means more water to draw on and more flooding. Big rain events will just be bigger.
It didn't cause the powerful trough or the ull that formed to steal Joaquins milkshake, but the warm waters certainly enhanced the rainfall.

Basically just Broad River. There are some roads in Columbia that have been completely washed away, as in, they don't exist anymore.
8-9 confirmed dead so far, Hospitals are being evacuated in Columbia due to contaminated water. Still expecting some more rain today. 389 road closures so far.
Fortunately for me, I live on a hill in Irmo, so I haven't been flooded , yet. But I'm stuck here.

I've never before seen a weather pattern so concentrated over one state. I guess that's why the SC governor is calling it a once-in-a-1,000-year flood.

This is a known dynamic, just not a very common one.
You had a big high up in Canada and a low pressure form up as the bottom of the stalled front bowed out to the east. The bow formed another frontal boundary from the south. At that "triple point" you had a front to the south and just to west.
The pressure gradient allowed the low to tap into the Hurricane as it moved off to the north. The computer models saw this early on, it was why they had the storm into the east coast initially.
This dynamic also helped Joaquin strengthen as it got pulled to the NE by enhancing the outflow and allowing the storm to really feed off the very warm water run the area. So picks up more water, and quite a bit of it gets out flowed back toward South Carolina.
On Saturday you had an atmospheric river form up from the EPAC, which is much hotter than normal bc of El Nino. That moisture linked up with Joaquin too. The Hurricane was basically a pump for an incredibly rich atmospheric feed.

Worst rainfall in 1,000 years in SC and its because of fossil fuels being pumped into the atmosphere 40 years ago.
Those a-hole 1,000 years ago are kicking themselves for non aaction on climate change too

That really is SC. Jocassee I believe.
