Scientists Forsee Possible Super-Storm In California

A team of 117 scientists, engineers, lifeline operators, emergency planners and insurance experts worked for two years on the project for the purpose of emergency planning. They named the weather event “ARkStorm,” after an intense atmospheric river storm that would overwhelm the state’s flood protection system, cause massive flooding, hundreds of landslides and serious damage in the state’s major population centers.

a storm lasting more than 40 days and dumping up to 10 feet of rain.

Maybe it will help.

Odd that its’ name is ARkstorm. Does Peelosi have someone in the wings named Noah.

Let me guess, they recommend immediate increases in funding for local government to deal with it, and grants for more research into this real and imminent threat.

I think they should be focusing on when a giant lizard attacks the state. Where are their priorities?

All this bad weather around the globe is nothing if we had a complete magnetic pole reversal.

Scientists say its happened 2 maybe 3 times in the millennial past and is overdue to happen again.

really makes me wonder if the Mayans 2012 prophesy is nothing more than a prediction this exact type of a worldwide calamity even, magnetic pole reversal.

Meteorologists have difficulty forecasting the weather beyond five days but we’re expected to believe this group can forecast the weather in the distant future? LOL!!!

Well Noah better start collecting two Homos, two trannys, two girlymen, two perverts, two drug addicts, two lifelong welfare recipients, two illegals, two child molesters, two Marxists, two progressive thinkers, two hippies and on and on...
