I was there this morning and only saw a couple of low areas with any water.

This pics were taken at the peak, it's gone down.

Will it get worse as water goes downstream? That's bad.


sounds like you think the Mississippi River caused this flooding. the river had nothing to do with it and in fact does NOT drain Louisiana. the smaller rivers and bayous are the states drainage and these are the culprits. they are full and additional rain has no where to go.

same deal here in Houston. it's just a matter of time we get fricked. and the local and state governments are just sitting on their arse and doing zero to prepare. all they are concerned with is highway construction; they don't give a damn about flooding or hurricane evacuation. they are pathetic. here in north Houston they won't even clean out our creeks much less dredge them. the san jacinto river has trees and debris up against bridges they won't even clean out. and they are stupid; they are entertaining the idea of spending millions on an "early warning" system. they are idiots. the national weather service reports give any reasonably intelligent person all the data they need. in short, if the creeks and rivers are full and rain is imminent, get the hell out.

Oh boy, look...more feminine types using the word "redneck" like they know what the hell one actually is.

Climate change is real, but isolated weather incidents may be totally unrelated. You're one stupid mother fricker if you believe it has to be related.

I grew up in a town along the Mississippi River in Missouri. Different kind of flooding, but we know what flood waters are like and the damage they do. Y'all are in my prayers. Be safe.

Effects like this do occur (recent California drought worsened up to 20% by climate change), but it is too early to tell with this flooding. However, more extreme floods, droughts, storms, etc. will occur as a consequence of climate change.

exactly this.


Explain longest time without hurricane coming ashore.

Weather will always be unpredictable and strong events will occasionally happen - climate change or not.

I would wager that population density generating excessive runoff, poor drainage planning, and other man-caused factors contributed more to the impact than climate change.

Did you even read the map?

Let me help you, dipshit.

"Map is a combination of worst case scenarios for tens of thousands of possible storms. No one storm would produce all the flooding shown."

So sure...if worst case scenario happened, and we got....say.....15 thousand hurricanes next month, we could get a hell of a storm surge in Baton Rouge. Otherwise, yeah...were not gonna get a storm surge in Baton Rouge. Category 3, category 5....whatever.

Oh yeah...dumbass.

It's also just poor form in general to make it political and bring up Trump... "haha they got what they had coming!" Are they supposed to support carbon taxes that don't make a dent in emissions? Just doesn't make any sense.

Tell us about those climate change preaching rich rednecks that fly all over the place in their heavy polluting private jets. Tell us about those rich rednecks with giant estates that leave giant footprints. They're causing problems 24/7. Preach about them you backwoods pos.

Lot's of politicians harvesting votes and getting rich.

Antartic ice cores provide a very accurate record of atmospheric CO2 levels for the last 400,000 years.

The current atmospheric CO2 level is lower now than it was 13,000 years ago.

That is an inconvenient hard scientific fact.

Next they will dust off the old Time magazine cover from the '70's warning about global cooling.

The climate is always changing and I'll be damned if anthroprogenic (human caused) warming caused the glaciers forming the Great Lakes to melt. Explain that Mr. Gore.

Mad hatter is back. Best thing aleva has done is trying to get miles out. Lit a fire. He's since made great hires, bounced back with a top class which many thought wouldn't happen. All of this made him rethink his approach in some areas and has reenergized him his staff and his players. He will be back in Atlanta soon!
