And they want to tell us how the climate will be in 100 years.
Man made...
We will never control the climate. We can keep our water and land clean and that should be our focus.
Southport has a ton of new builds over the past few decades.
Storm terrorizes people….
this only proves the climate crisis is real, now even no name storms are so powerful that we cannot deny climate change is real and happening... and man made.

If ONLY we had a bipartisan “infrastructure bill,” we could have rebuilt all of our bridges and roads by now.
Those “no-name” storms are the worst!
We live here in Central NC in the path of the storm. The storm was messy, as all storms are, but hardly devastating.
Joe Bastardi talked about this storm on the Weatherbell site this past Saturday. He seems to be more accurate than the NWS.
And so now they’ll be condemned for NOT warning people.
If they warn people and it doesn’t happen, they’re condemned.
If they don’t warn people and it happens, they are condemned.
If they warn people and it happens, ho hum, and people forget in days.
All people focus on is the times they were wrong.
Meteorologists just can’t win.
Do I detect a lack of urgency here?
Idiots don’t know when to put the damn phone down and do something.
Further north, we had a lot of rain overnight and into this morning. Ferry shut down between Hatteras and Ocracoke due to NC12 flooded with overwash on Ocracoke. But 18 inches? Dang....
Watch out for exploding EV’s.
Calling this a storm is a little deceptive; you could be five miles away and just get a normal rain, hence the unknown storm comment, it is what happens in one little micro-environment that causes this kind of devastation. One part of the storm with heavy precipitation just hangs over one spot, often spiralling around the same spot so that it doesn’t pass through, and instead of the few minutes of deluge that we all have experienced in heavy storms, it just goes on and on. As they state, this is a 1 in a 1,000 year event. I watched this happen about five years ago while I was home. One minute I drove to the gas station, got home and went inside and it was dry but about to rain. Fifteen minutes later my two dogs were going crazy, and I could hear the heavy rain hitting the rook and porch. I looked outside, the water was coming down so hard it was unreal. Ten minutes later, it was up to the tires of my truck. I moved both trucks up the hill, and by the time I got back down my riding mower was gone forever. Ten minutes later, a brick building that was nearly a hundred years old, and full of tools, gardening, and workshop stuff was gone forever. I came ten minutes away from losing my house, and no I am NOT in a flood plain. I got my dogs and most important documents up to the trucks. They say around 8 inches of rain fell in less than an hour. It took out five bridges within about a mile and half radius from my property. Four people were not so lucky and lost their homes and all their valuables; many more lost vehicles. It can happen anywhere there is a valley, even if there is no water there normally. Three of the bridges are still out.
FTA: Footage shared on social media by storm chaser Aaron Jayjack showed carnage in Southport, N.C......

Carnage? What? This “writer” must be about 12. I cannot believe how poorly this is written.
NHC warned them. They have been saying it was going to be a big rain event. NHC is the best at these kind of things.
The faces on TV are another matter.
