Queso Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 That's what I've been saying and thinking...I swear...when the rains come the lightning comes and then they will rise.It is so very true about the cubensis species. They love the storms. As for homes,no one's buying them here.... Everyone's kind of afraid...and they should be... I haev a funny feeling my place of residence will soon be under water. :bow_flowers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boerseun Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Over here, it never rains in winter. Never. Well, last Saturday morning, we had 35 millimeters between 3am and 9am. That's about an inch and a half, in six hours. Slap bang in the middle of winter. Little seeds will sprout in the Spring-like weather, only to die when the normal winter frost returns. The weather has gone for a ball of guano. In my valley, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundreds of thousands of people are without power, power lines and trees have collapsed onto roadways, buildings have been damaged, roofs have been swept away, motorists have abandoned cars as floodwaters rise and there are reports of snow south of Tamworth. Hundreds of homes across the region have been evacuated. Police are still looking for two adults and three children at Somersby on the Central Coast after a section of the highway collapsed and their car was swept away by floodwaters yesterday.Monster storm wreaks havoc along NSW coast. 09/06/2007.

Monster storm wreaks havoc along NSW coast. 09/06/2007. ABC News Online I've been hearing about flooding in NSW. You guys have had quite a year so far. From drought to floods; one extreme to another. Over here, it never rains in winter. Never. Well, last Saturday morning, we had 35 millimeters between 3am and 9am. That's about an inch and a half, in six hours. Slap bang in the middle of winter.

InfiniteNow Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 In Austin, we've had way too much rain this spring. The lake levels are like 35 feet higher than they should be. My girlfriend's dad is struggling to keep his plants alive (he farms a few acres) since the soil is too wet and the roots won't take hold. Like 700 tomato plants with a great big "maybe" sign hanging above them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeztar Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 And the report from my part of Georgia shows similar craziness. We've (finally) been hit with a couple big T-storms and some cloudy skies to keep it from evaporating (water ban still in effect here). We're supposed to have similar storms for a couple days at least.It's been a very dry year so far, and the late frost doesn't help the Agri folks much either. :friday: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedars Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 This was on the news earlier this week so when I had Landsat open I grabbed a copy for myself. The tornado happened in Wisconsin on June 7 I believe. They estimate it at 1/2 mile wide. The path is pretty visible. If I remember right it was on the ground for around 45 miles. It happened in a very rural area so there were no reports of building damage that I am aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelangelica Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Sheesh! This planet is going apeshit. You better look for the next Vogon ship and thumb a ride outta here...How do you do that again? It has been raining all week.Just enough to loosen the roots of big trees.When European people first came to this area they took the good timber and left other rain-forest treesAs a consequence, rain forest trees don't cope with wind. I have seen so many trees blown down today.Even new council planted trees 4-5 years old. We are expecting a storm at 10pm-12+(now 4am) am tonight ( now 7.13pm)Very still and quiet at the moment.Quite scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
