HotRod... you're welcome to believe whatever you want. In a world in which anything can be dismissed by boiling it down to a coin toss exercise, some really fascinating things must be possible. I envy the power of your imagination.HotRod10 said:I said it'spossible rainfall patterns are changing in the region, but it's also possible that the recent heavier rains are just an anomaly, like having a flipped coin come up heads 6 times out of 8.
Someday Spartan5, perhaps you'll grasp the difference between accepting the obvious that change does happen, and accepting the unsupported assertion that a particular change is taking place in a particular region at a particular time. I'm rapidly losing hope, though
Like evolution. Or the age of the planet.HotRod10 said:"Prove it."

Only sharing because I saw that the remnants of Willa were will likely impact the East Coast as well this weekend (and bring more misery to Texas as well). And you mentioned that you try to pay attention to this stuff.LionelHutz said:I find it hard to buy into the rhetoric that storms are worse today then they have been historically. I try to pay attention to historical data of similar events when a storm occurs. During many of these media touted "worst ever" weather events I see that similar weather events have also occurred 60-200 years ago. For example, Florence really wasn't an abnormal hurricane only possible today. There have been a number of other recorded hurricanes as strong or stronger that have hit that area dating back to the last 200 years.
We have recently built-up many areas more that in the past. So there are more structures and people for these storms to impact. This just makes the impact and devastation of the humans and infrastructure worse then what has occurred historically. But, that impact is often confused with it being a worse storm event.
East Pacific - I believe there have been 2 category 5 hurricanes this year. Apparently 1994 had 3 stronger ones. Just saying...

The value of 26 percent is based on probability theory that accounts for each of the 30 years having a 1-percent chance of flooding.
