Yeah man. Nobody is starving. Deeprig, and his daughter will catch enough for all of us to sustain, anyhow.

What’s up with the GA fires? Last weekend there was smoke in the air in SC.

Two big fires in the Brantley county area. near the swamp. One they say started from balloon on a power line. Multiple homes destroyed and a lot of people has to evacuate.

I think it rained some down there yesterday finally. Not sure if on the area that is burning or not though.

Whatever these last two rains have been haven’t put a dent. New fescue just had be let mostly die. Having to water my newer fruit and landscaping trees every other day.

Have a future grey water project that I need to move up. Have a 900’ well and not worth using that pump to water grass.

Extreme drought. Two major fires with 40,000 acres and counting burned and 120 houses torched. We’re in a state of emergency

Climate change is real. I’m not saying your truck or air conditioner is causing it. But it’s real. Sorry. Probably from previous weather manipulations and the unintended obvious consequences from it

The other was started by a fellow welding a gate at the entrance of his property. And poof. Uncontrollable fire. That’s how dry it is

Godspeed.

Radar showed small rain shower moving over today. Could smell it, but nothing hit the ground

Climate change maybe...with global warming you should see more rain. Which maybe another area of the country is getting more rain than usual.

I saw Iran is having historic floods since they blew up some of the USbases nearby. Weather manipulation probably real.

It’s 100% real.

The song I linked in OP is literally about a dude that got paid $10K to cloud seed. And it ended up killing a shitload of people. And that was nearly a century ago

Fast forward, and nobody has yet to explain why the experts were on the Florida panhandle for Helene, but the catastrophe was hundreds of miles inland. Into the fricking North Carolina mountains.

(Zero hurricanes since, btw) How weird? Yeah right

Where are we supposed to evacuate now when the worst destruction is hundreds of miles inland?

Everything is fake

When you are driving several 100s of miles from the Gulf and you pass a town named Hurricane Mills, Hurricane Gulch and cross the Hurricane River, you that our forefathers knew that Hurricanes travel a long ways and blow out place subseptable to flash flooding.....

It was always a time bomb for the folks living in river valleys... near mountains....

Name some storms comparable to the inland destruction of Helene

While you’re at it, explain why people ever evacuate inland from them. If that’s where the threat is. Or why the weather experts were parked in Tallahassee waiting for a photo op beside a fallen palm tree beside a shell station

Nothing like it because when those same places had big storms, they weren't over developed with half backs like they are now..... There is nothing new other recency bias....

Here are some past storms..

Yes — Helene fits a pattern the Southern Appalachians have seen before, but it was unusually widespread and destructive.

The closest mountain-flood comparisons:
1. Hurricane Camille, 1969 — Virginia Blue Ridge Probably the best historical analog for “tropical system hits mountains and turns into a deadly flash-flood/landslide event.” Camille’s remnants caused catastrophic flooding and landslides in Nelson County, Virginia, with extreme rainfall on the Blue Ridge slopes. NOAA notes Camille’s rain intensified with upslope flow near the mountains. ?
NCEP Weather Prediction Center

2. Hurricane Agnes, 1972 — Appalachians / Mid-Atlantic Agnes is the classic benchmark for broad inland flooding in the Appalachians and Susquehanna basin. It was not just wind; it was days of tropical rain over mountains and river basins. NOAA still refers to Agnes as the benchmark flood for the Susquehanna basin. ?
National Weather Service

3. Frances and Ivan, 2004 — Western NC / East TN These two storms hit the Southern Appalachians close together and caused major flooding, slides, and river damage. For western North Carolina, 2004 was the “everybody remembers that one” modern comparison before Helene.

4. Tropical Storm Fred, 2021 — Western North Carolina Fred caused deadly flash flooding in Haywood County, NC. Smaller than Helene, but same basic mountain mechanism: tropical moisture, steep terrain, narrow valleys, fast runoff.

Ai research, but a list of storms that greatly affected the regions.... It's what AI is for dildo.

Humans have a tough time with scale of time when thinking of geology and climate.

First…I 100% agree in climate change. There’s nothing to dispute. Photos of glaciers from 100 years ago vs today are all the evidence you need. Hell, even in my lifetime the snowfall in N GA is less than it used to be annually.

However, the “hottest in 100 years” or “worst storm in history” is laughable when you consider these are 100 to 200 year horizons for a planet billions of years old.

Helene was a total disaster and when you look at updated Google earth maps you can see the swath of destruction in the river beds of the NC mountains. BUT…I bet anything that it has happened before…just not within 200 years, which is a blink of an eye in the history of the earth.
