DroughtFlood in Hungary (1860s)
“THE HUNGARIAN FAMINE.
The history of the Hungarian famine is some what extraordinary. It began with excessive rain and was followed by excessive drought In 1862 the rains were so unusual that die Danube overflowed its banks, and became a lake 100 miles wide, everything being destroyed by the vast and desolate expanse of water. … And now another evil befel them. As if the rain for two years had all fallen in 1862, the year 1863 was one of unparalleled drought. Nothing could grow; and as the drought not only affected the districts overflowed the year before by the Danube, but was equally fatal to the crops over the whole country, the losses of the second year were greater than those of the first…”

“BAD NEWS FOR THE BLOWERS OF CLOUDS.-Owing to the great drought it America this summer, the tobacco plants have been so much injured that the supplies next year will be very small. This has had the effect of raising the price of leaf tobacco above 35 per cent., with every prospect of a still further rise.”

“In consequence of the fall of the Seine, from the long absence of rain, there has been discovered, at a place called Le Port a I’Anglaise, near the bridge of Charenton. a square stone, on which is an inscription, signifying that on the 25th August, 1767, the river retired as low as that spot and hence it may be inferred that it has not for eighty years sunk so low as it now is.”

An unprecedented drought has thrown the river system into decline, according to the guardian for the river. “We’ve had big droughts before and big floods before, but what we didn’t have was climate change,”

Those were all fables passed down prior to the dawn of time, which took place around 1950.
In certain scientific circles the “Dawn of Time” was 1979!
There is a consensus that they are uncertain when the dawn of time actually was so the science is settled and requires further research! 😉
