Charles Mansion posted:i wonder how much longer three gorges has left in a world with rainfall episodes like this Keeping the reservoir level low helps a lot. Obviously this has its costs, but if it keeps the dam standing, so be it.

PostNouveau posted:It's rained every day this month in New Orleans, and we're on pace to hit our annual rainfall for the year by the end of this month. It's the same all across the gulf coast I think and I wouldn't be surprised if also the rest of the south. The coast is absolutely rainy as hell anyway but good lord I'd love to see the sun for once this summer

The sun here in Ohio has been obscured by PNW wildfires. Not as bad as it was a decade ago when I lived in Kansas and it was blood red all day, it's only the mornings here.

I mean... they shouldn't have been open. Even if you don't loving immediately die from being trapped in a tunnel filled with water you're not unlikely to die later from whatever nasty diseases were entering your body. But, sure?

Its crazy. I live 500 feet from Lake Erie, and went to the park last night to take in the sunset... many others were there and in amazement about the "beautiful" sky. I cant even take in a summer sunset without overwhelming dread. loving owns.

Yea we've been under it for like 5 days now and I kinda just want to give up and die already like what's the point? I can't even ride my bike for more than 10 minutes before I feel like total poo poo.

That being said, I can think of nothing worse than dying on a subway train on my way to whatever going about my daily business.

Telsa Cola posted:They will literally do whatever it takes to stop it from catastrophically failing because it bursting is basically going to cripple them for decades. the dam filling up with enough water to burst it also then releases that massive wall of water into all of the major urban centers downstream, where millions of people live, which is probably an outcome they'd want to avoid. I imagine the dam collapse a few decades back after similar multiple days straight of insane rain that killed a hundred thousand people is fresh in the mind of chinese civil engineers

im in the great plains and this is the greenest summer ive seen in over a decade, just lovely, best summer weather of my adult life, midwest thunderstorms are back, flash floods but infrastructure for those floods because there's always been flash floods here, our tornadoes (which are already not nearly as big a deal as quakes, canes) are vacationing out east instead, heat toppin off at ~95°F but with a 4-6mph breeze moseying around, nights when the air and the river conspire to create temperature and humidity conditions more perfect than any climate control system can mimic they say, of where I live, that we have like four weeks of the ideal human weather broken up between spring and fall. this year, it has extended to months. sunset and rise are a bit hazy, though: it would be great if you could work on that, pnw.

Plenty of gentle rain separated by beautiful clear days. Currawongs and honeyeaters everywhere. It'll all end one day, of course, but for the moment I am greedily squeezing every drop of happiness out of each day. Real hurthling! posted:imagine if you were short or a child I will not;
