[buff2.0]

drove to kids place yesterday near Shawnee OK.   the weather they predicted fizzled out, then back with a vengeance about 8am .  11 fucking tornados last night on the ground.  more coming tonight

Some days I miss OKC since moving back to Arkansas.  There haven't been many of those days this spring.

Holy Fuck denver has been inundated with rain since last Wednesday. Raining non stop no sun. Has never done this in the 8 years I've been here...we have parks and bike trails closed due to so much water. Rivers over flowing. It's crazy and supposed to get more rain later this week. Western slop was sunny and nice where I was but denver can't seem
To knock these lingering clouds and rain: it's like I'm back in arkansas

But climate change! The Colorado river is drying up! Science says so!

One more degree Celsius and all water on earth will evaporate and we'll all die due to dehydration!

I think this every time I hear of rivers flooding and lakes drying up. I saw a video back in December or sometime with a guy wading out in mud off the bank of the Mississippi river and saying "climate change is rerouting the river and it will never be the same." Next thing you know snow melts and it's flooding towns along the river up north. People act like the weather has never been strange before. My great grandpa used to talk about the Flood of '27. Said it never rained as hard before or since and they lost most of their cows because they got stuck in the bottoms and all drowned. Weather is weather. No amount of white people and lawn mower exhaust is going to change that.

But, apparently if you throw enough money at it, it will change.

I wouldn't dare get in and try to float anywhere in Colorado right now. You'll surely die. Interestingly with all the snow and rain across the state, lake Dillon this weekend was unbelievably low and have no idea why. Usually its levels are super low come late summer. Not now.

On Saturday my friend who lives south of Denver sent me the following text, "It rained 5" this week, you'd think it was the apocalypse here.  As a southerner, we were completely enjoying it since we never get rain here..."

I told him people in Houston do the same thing when the weather man reports there may be snow.

I have a series of maps showing the path of the Mississippi River over the course of the last 500~ years.  It is more or less marked in 40-50 year increments, and it would shock most people to know where the river has been verses where it is now.  Even looking at the state line verses where the river is now would help people better understand...but alas, dumbassery.

My dad told of the completion of Denison Dam (Lake Texoma) on the Red River. "marvel engineering", "the Red will never flood again". Etc., etc. 
The very first year it came over the top of the dam. 1938. Flooded so bad you could hear and feel the ground and house shake in Richmond as the river took whole farms at a time.

Over 100 years between these two photos. Notice the water level?

Everyone knows islands float duhhh

So, if too many people get on one side, it will tip over? 

[Lurk]

But that's just New York. I'm sure it's higher in places like Europe. Science

Nope...that's just Guam.

Clearly the extreme heat brought on by Global Warming has caused the water to evaporate and the island to sink.  How you guys can't see that from the two pictures is beyond me.

Some days I miss OKC since moving back to Arkansas.  There haven't been many of those days this spring.

The OKC weather guys are over the top vs anywhere else.  Crazy kinds of radar, they all have teams of storm chasers tracking every supercell.  "We now have Val and Amy at the supercell over Bowlegs, Oklahoma.  Val and Amy in the Hahn Appliance Silverado StormTruck!" " Dave it's on the fuckin ground in downtown Bowlegs! It's headed to the high school and just hammered the fuckin Weed Depot and the Curl Up and Dye hair salon!"

On Friday they were so disappointed that all the storms just petered out.  "It's not a dangerous storm!! Just quarter sized hail.  Sadly we're returning to Blue Bloods.  Hopefully one of these cells that just popped up near Wynnewood turn into something worth interrupting your programming.  Tell Pedro in the Bud's Quality Roofing Weatherforce Kia to go home!"

A friend of mine was in a truck that got hit by a tornado in El Reno that killed two people in a motel across the road from where they parked. Their truck bounced against a light pole that kind of anchored it.

And then there was the EF5 in Moore in 2013. The psycho storm chaser in the helicopter kept telling the pilot to fly closer, and then to fly around to the front, and then fly closer and you can finally hear the pilot yell "Hell no" or something.
