More storms ahead as thousands still without power (In the UK .. not the US for now)
BBC News ^ | 12/26/13 | BBC

More gales and heavy rain are set to hit the UK as the Environment Agency warns of further significant disruption from floods in southern England.

Many rivers remain swollen after storm damage caused power cuts and travel delays. More than 50 flood warnings are in place for England and Wales.

About 1,000 homes in south-east and south-west England have been flooded.

About 10,000 properties are without power and engineers say some may not be reconnected until the end of the week.

UK Energy Networks said more customers had been connected on Thursday, as 24,000 had been without power first thing.

Almost 3,000 homes in Kent are without power, UK Power Networks said, with around 1,200 in Surrey and more than 1,500 in Sussex. Meanwhile in Hampshire, Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution said 5,000 homes were still waiting to be reconnected.

(adjusts my tinfoil beanie) ..

Weather modification is nothing to be trifled with. changing the flow of the jetstream has consequences.

I am not one to haarp much of late ..

but .. I see the stuff being sprayed in the skies around here and it ain't exhaust gases or condensation the way it spreads out..

and then I see how dry we are in the immediate West.. and I scratch my head .. and wonder.. Who'll stop the rain?

Oh well.. Ya never know these days!

Have a safe journey!

Same here. I used to think the guys who complained about ‘chemtrails’ were nuts. No more. We never, ever have a sunny day anymore. Anytime the sky is blue for my morning walk I can look up and 5-6 planes or drones or whatever the hell they are, at high altitude spraying in the sky. They fly nearly from horizon to horizon and their trails stay in the sky...do not dissipate, and eventually spread out to 100 times their original width!

Just ‘tuning’ the atmosphere using a mix of electro-chemical elements, some finely ground up ‘stuff’, looks like a giant tic tac toe board sometimes.. and these things stretch out for limes and grow, not dissipate over time and drift downwind..

and folks are worried about burning wood..

Reminds me of Malibu in late 70s early 80s.

When the “climate experts” were decrying Global Cooling.

How High’s The Water Momma?-Johny Cash.

How high’s the water, mama?
Two feet high and risin’
How high’s the water, papa?
Two feet high and risin’

We can make it to the road in a homemade boat
That’s the only thing we got left that’ll float
It’s already over all the wheat and the oats,
Two feet high and risin’

The bridge washed out and I can’t swim and my baby’s on the other side
When I awoke this a mornin’ the rain was a pouring down
I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across town
Now I’m a runnin’ up and down the river and my nerves are driving me wild
Cause the bridge washed out I can’t swim and my baby’s on the other side

The greenies should be rejoicing. Less fossil fuels are being used. They are getting a foretaste of what a “non-fossil fuel utopia” will be like!

I don’t get a whole lot excited over stuff like this.

We have had “weather” of one kind or another for as long as I have been alive, and that’s a long time. I don’t remember the dust bowl, so I don’t go back that far.

However, I have, at various times, experienced serious flooding, and serious drought. Right now, drought is the problem in my area—and has been for at least a couple of years.

Personally, I don’t think we can control the weather outside—in the house maybe, but not outside.

Think of the earth’s atmosphere as a giant air capacitor full of electromagnetically charged energy particles and their flow as the earth spins influences our climate and who gets wet and who stays dry ..

It’s true we have had drought and do in a somewhat erratic pattern.. but we also had no means to effectively influence the path of the flows in the atmosphere of moisture and other stuff.

I fear we now do.. and we are seeing the results of years of science research into accomplishing just that. jmo

It really won’t matter where you live once they get the process perfected. ;-]

btw,, I am now forced to use natural gas when I could be burning wood.. but... big brother says,, No burning. with the recent cold snaps here,, you won’t hear PG&E complaining but their customers will. they just petitioned to raise natgas price by 12%. coincidence?

I live in Texas where most of the time, the weather ranges from hot to hotter than hell—although we do once in a while get cold—snow, sleet, hail, ice.

We depend a lot more on our air conditioners most of the year.

I’m not ready to accept that “science” or any other entity can affect weather. I certainly don’t believe anyone’s government is responsible for whatever weather we are experiencing.........

God is still in His universe.......

My 2 cents—and don’t try to remove my blinders! LOL!

Yup! I know you folks out yonder have much worse weather than we do sometimes.

I’m in Lakeway—on Lake Travis. We are near Austin.

Imagine the idiocy of spending/blowing your budget on wind and solar when you have such harsh winters. Imagining having to rely on wind power in a massive blizzards when the windmills are shut down due to high winds.

LOL!

That’s why I don’t live in Austin. We are far enough away, and are a very conservative community. Austin is, sadly, lost—IMHO.
