Flooding forces Iowa residents to evacuate as heatwave scorches most of US

Floodwaters forced people out of their homes in parts of Iowa, the result of weeks of rain, while much of the United States longed for relief Saturday from yet another round of extraordinary heat.

Sirens blared at 2 a.m. in Rock Valley, Iowa, population 4,200, where people in hundreds of homes were told to get out as the Rock River could no longer take rain that has slammed the region. The city lacked running water because wells were unusable.

Mayor Kevin Van Otterloo said a state helicopter was on its way to help but was called off when boats were able to reach stranded residents.

Is this global warming or global cooling or climate change?? I get confused.. they act as if this never happened before...

I bet the flood waters were boiling.

Weather Porn. My local news stations only report the “Feels Like” temperatures anymore. It’s the weather. It’s as variable and as extreme as women’s opinions Taylor Swift.

The newest crisis for an election year, a constant state of weather anxiety.

From Sioux City Iowa to north central Iowa, plenty of local flooding, as happens every few years. Rarely interferes with abundant corn and soybean crops.

We drove through Iowa on I20 Friday morning and afternoon with a blue sky overhead.

I noticed what I believe to be chemtrails. They start out looking like crisscrossing jet vapor streams. But instead of evaporating, they turn into sausage-shaped ‘vapors’ that start to billow upward and turn dark on the bottom.

The ‘vapors’ then expanded, clouding the sun and eventually turned into menacing storm clouds, resulting in torrents of rain.

I observed the same phenomenon going east on I94 on Saturday, which resulted in 8 hours of nonstop torrents of rain.

IMO, this is cloud seeding and manufactured climate change.

Global flooding! Time to ban the book of Genesis.

**********

One of the primary methods of cloud seeding involves the dispersal of the seeding agents into the atmosphere using aircraft or ground-based generators. These agents can be released into the atmosphere in the form of flares, rockets, or through the use of liquid solutions. Upon release, the seeding agents rise through the atmosphere and come into contact with clouds, where they facilitate the process of precipitation. Alternatively, another technique known as hygroscopic cloud seeding involves the use of hygroscopic materials that can absorb water vapor from the atmosphere, leading to cloud condensation and ultimately precipitation.

The effectiveness of cloud seeding has been the subject of numerous studies and field experiments over the years. While the results have been variable and influenced by factors such as cloud type, temperature, and atmospheric conditions, there is evidence to suggest that cloud seeding can produce measurable increases in precipitation under certain circumstances. Research conducted in regions such as the United States, China, and the United Arab Emirates has demonstrated the potential of cloud seeding to enhance rainfall and snowfall, offering hope for water-stressed areas and agricultural regions.

hey’re talking about shutting I-29 down from Sioux City to Rockport Missouri like they did a few years ago. Not the end of the world but it moves traffic onto smaller highways and damaged a lot of miles of interstate that had to be replaced. Biggest issue I see is they channeled the river so down by Omaha, it’s a bottleneck for the water. Years ago, the river ran 5 miles to the Loess Hills on the Iowa side.

Heat wave? So far it’s just been summer here in lower NY.

Thanks for this cloud seeding link/info, deport.

What do these seedings consist of? What type of chemicals?

And, what becomes of these chemicals, once they’ve created their rain? Do they rain down on our crops/fields?

The most commonly used cloud seeding agents include silver iodide, potassium iodide, and sodium chloride. These substances act as nucleating agents, providing the necessary foundation for the conversion of water vapor into precipitation.
