I am close to the Gulf coast Louisiana border and we got some of this rain and flooding. Our city spent a fortune on drainage control after Rita and Ike (both direct hits on us) and it has paid off. This was a 500 year flood event that is probably a 20 year event now.

We are playing with fire that we don't know how to control and what all it will do, yet we keep messing with it, changing nothing. We still allow Lobbyist to buy our politicans so they support the fossil fuel industry and hope they will seek alternative green energy! We do the same things expecting a different result.
