Shima Honnou posted:A storm and rain so strong here in Detroit that the truckyard at work is closed for safety purposes. There's literally 30 semis parked in a line up the service road waiting for this to end and it just keeps kicking up every time it looks to be ending. there were 3 downed trees and 2 completely submerged roads here on the way home from work, I had to detour twice and in my mind was distinctly and prominently the moment from 2012 where, for a moment of lucid clarity, I decided NOT to step across the downed power line and just to go the long way around the block in a downpour to get home

Another big storm in Michigan. I'd post a picture of radar but the power got knocked out and started a brush fire in one of the vacant fields.

I had my car totaled 2 months ago in the Mother's Day weekend floods. Wednesday the 10th I had to move my car and my wife's car to the neutral ground in the middle of 8" of rain or they would have been totaled. Today, on the other hand, wasn't that bad (cars are back on the neutral ground). We need more pumps.

Got water in my apartment and my landlord did some half-rear end sealing, and that poo poo was leaking today too. Not nearly as bad as last week, just a small amount, but it sucks that it's now something to worry about every time it rains.

Get some wheel ramps, use them every time you park so you can park on top of another car.

The storm itself was essentially a sudden blast of like 70 mile per hour winds which is just under category 1 hurricane force, lmao. News was saying there's over 1000 downed lines, 360,000 people without power, and a bunch of trees were uprooted so suddenly they took sidewalk and pavement up with them.

I just read that Lloyd's of London, known for insuring high risk poo poo, is dumping clients who live in wildfire prone communities in California. other people are having their rates double. I would recommend against retiring to the urban wilderness interface meanwhile NIMBY also applies to reality, apparently, as mostly rich communities up and down the California coast are refusing to admit that they might have to retreat as the coastline moves in on them. they're apoplectic over the impact acknowledging reality might have on their home values. I wonder how many of them just want to sell high and get out, and how many have their heads in the sand. rejection of managed retreat isn't going to keep the sea from rising, it's just going to mean an unmanaged retreat later

CODChimera posted:How much of this is normal behaviour? with regard to the heat wave itself, 20% of it https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10584-012-0668-1 quote:Here we show that, worldwide, the number of local record-breaking monthly temperature extremes is now on average five times larger than expected in a climate with no long-term warming. This implies that on average there is an 80 % chance that a new monthly heat record is due to climatic change. as for heat bursts themselves, i can't find anything linking them directly to climate change (on the first page of the google search) but they happen after thunderstorms, and those are projected to happen more due to climate change, so i guess that means more heat bursts due to climate change heat bursts seem to make the news every couple years, so they're not unheard of it seems
