Trio of storm systems could have devastating impact on U.S.


Knight Ridder Newspapers

Moisture-laden storms from the north, west and south are likely to converge on much of America over the next several days in what could be a once-in-a-generation onslaught, meteorologists forecast Tuesday.

If the gloomy computer models at the U.S. Climate Prediction Center are right, we'll see this terrible trio:

Don't worry. The U.N. will take care of everything.

Seriously, keep the car filled up, and have some cash on hand and check the groceries and water. Praying for yall.

Looks like just rain here in west KY... and we don't need it, the ground is like jello here from the snow melt and the rains we've already got so far, all the rivers are out of their banks.

When they say it could be like 1937, that's scary. Where I sit right now was under 15 foot of water in '37. We have a flood wall now but it still worries me.

I,m in Alaska and do not see any cold fronts here. We have had rain the last two days. Which is very strange. We have 2 feet of snow on the ground and never have rain at this time of year:-/

My derriere is throbbing, but hopefully the Excedrin will kick in soon.

Shouldn't the post be accompanied by a "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!" warning?

Didn't Al Gore endorse a Hollywood movie about this subject?

I think the movie showed a 120 foot tidal wave that froze New York city :-)

An unnamed warm, moist storm system from the Gulf of Mexico drenching the already saturated Ohio, Tennessee and Mississippi valleys. Expect heavy river flooding and springlike tornadoes.

I'm in Brownsville Texas. I'm watching E-bay , instead of the weather channel. Those snowballs in my freezer may be worth something:') We had a white Christmas. The last snow was 1895 in Feb. We don't get a lot of rain. This year we had a golf ball size hail storm, and it has been very rainy. Strange weather we are having.

The "Pineapple Express," a series of warm wet storms heading east from Hawaii, drenching Southern California and the far Southwest, which already are beset with heavy rain and snow. It could cause flooding, avalanches and mudslides.
