Our drought was quite a bit less than the 30's. Droughts come and go. I don't know what to do about them. Wailing and gnashing of teeth doesn't do anything except increase the income of psychiatrists and dentists. I don't want to diminish your situation but it rains on the just and unjust.
You wish.
The murder of 70 million unborn babies, same-sex marriage and promotion of homosexuality cry out for justice.
We ain’t getting off that easy.
Judgement can take a loooooong time...and will certainly get worse for the reasons you cite.
Floods then droughts. Droughts then floods.
Our environmentalists will fight any attempt at controlling this.
Extended drought in deserts and what used to be called “The Great American Desert”, what we call The Great Plains today..
Who coulda seen it coming?
When the great Nebraska sand dunes reach the Missouri River, THEN it’s time to worry.
‘This is of concern to me. It’s one of the reasons we are growing more of our own vegetables this year.’
Me too, course I do every year. My question is how much of this is man caused? Think of the Central Valley of Loonacali and the Feds cutting off the water.
Yes, and that concerns me more.
Obama’s Fault !
Luckily most of Ky is a rainforest. We will be ok most likely. If a drought does come and the Feds try to cut off the water, they will sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.
God bless Kentucky.
I thought we were going to float away a couple nights ago here, in southeast Wisconsin. It was a gulley washer.
I don’t understand how Arizona can be in a drought. It’s a desert, isn’t it?
Isn’t this interesting. According to everything I heard on the news just this week, Washington State has an above average snow pack and more than average rainfall. I can vouch for that here on the east side of the state. We definitely had more rainfall than usual this year. It sure makes me wonder where NASA and other groups get their often erroneous information . . . oh, that’s right, they make it up.
To back up my claim in post #33 that much of Washington State actually had more snowpack and rainfall than usual, I offer the following quote directly from the Office of the Washington State Climatologist:
“Total March precipitation was much above normal for the Cascades, western WA, and north eastern WA, exceeding 150% of normal and higher in these regions. Even central WA had
near-normal to above normal precipitation, with the exception of eastern Yakima and Franklin counties, where precipitation was between 70 and 90% of normal.”
This was true for most of 2013-2014.
I like the Kashkari campaign commercial where he delightfully chops a model of the "crazy train" in half.
We use that expression along with "frog strangler."
All things balance in time. Drought is a terrible thing. Politicians will say it is global warming, or whatever the latest term is. When it is raining non stop, the same politicians will also blame it on global whatever.
I pray for my drought stricken friends. This too will pass.
Obama as _resident is also judgement.
Agreed.
How very strange. Things that definitely make you go hmmmmm.
