And now Illinois, too. Again, is anyone in the area that can report on what's happening?

Are there really only a dozen or so people left on these threads???

Global Warming Is Fueling Arizona’s Monstrous Monsoons

"The new study was published in the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology. Using more detailed and localized precipitation information than is standard for weather data, Castro’s team compared monsoon rainfall throughout the Southwest from two periods — 1950 to 1970 and 1991 to 2010. The team found that Phoenix and many of the state’s low deserts saw rain falling in much more intense bursts. This happened even as the daily average rainfall across most of Arizona decreased by as much as 30 percent in some places."

Are you saying that they have just recently clear cut this area of Sierra Leone? Do you have some evidence to back that up? If not, that means that the rain was heavier than ones in the recent past, at least, otherwise this would have been happening pretty constantly.

I guess p is trying to say I shouldn't post something about a flood in the deluge thread?? Or that rain had nothing to do with the flood?? 8O

He seems to have gone back to blathering, so I'll go back to ignoring him.

Meanwhile in the real, tragic world, the number of missing is in the thousands...

The stupid just never stops:

"The Trump administration is acting very rashly in part out of the desire to undo a climate measure under the Obama administration," he said. "This is an enormous mistake that is disastrous for taxpayers. The (Obama) rule would have saved billions of dollars over time."

Trump to revoke Obama-era flood risk building standards

U.S. President Donald Trump will revoke an Obama-era executive order on Tuesday that required strict building standards for government-funded projects to reduce exposure to increased flooding from sea level rise...

I believe by far the crucial influence in this decision is real-estate developers who want to keep selling that beach front and having the taxpayers pay for repairs after every flooding event or hurricane force damaging wind.
