Four weeks ago, crack government scientists¹ told us that the drought was going to get worse.
And today ….
Rain-soaked Midwest braces for more flooding
By Alastair Jamieson, Staff writer, NBC News
Flood-weary residents in parts of the Midwest were still trying to stem the tide of murky river water Friday, as late snow-melt combined with days of spring rain sent rivers toward high-water records.Floodwaters had begun an inch-by-inch retreat in inundated Peoria, Ill., after the Illinois River crested Tuesday at 29.35 feet, eclipsing a 70-year record.
In central Indiana, more heavy rain through Wednesday morning prompted a request for voluntary evacuation along the Tippecanoe River near Lafayette.
The Grand River at Grand Rapids, Mich., which reached record levels, began to fall below flood stage Thursday and some of the hundreds of people evacuated were starting to return home.
Along the Mississippi, the biggest concern was that the flood is expected to linger into May, potentially straining longstanding earthen levees and hastily-built sandbag walls.
Rain-soaked Chicago had its wettest April on record, the National Weather Service said, according to NBCChicago.com.
¹ government scientists on crack
It may seem counterintuitive, but An over abundance of water is symptomatic of drought. Sometimes it’s too dry to have a drought.
Don’t jump to conclusions. He said ‘may’!
Maybe so, maybe not LOL
I love the smell of ignorance in the morning. Does he actually get paid to write this?
Oh come on, that was a misprint. The headline really was “2013 droughtflood may be worse than 2012” … See, now it makes more sense.
“Drought/flood-weary residents in parts of the Midwest were still trying to stem the tide of murky wet/dry Friday, as late drought-melt combined with days of spring drought sent rivers toward high-drought records.”
Crack government scientists use super-duper computer to demosntrate that they are on crack.
NOAA’s 2013 predictions may be worse than 2012, NOAA should admit.
