Bone Crimes posted:Just reading about this here:https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/harvey-reservoirs lol the title is "Everyone Knew Houston’s Reservoirs Would Flood — Except for the People Who Bought Homes Inside Them" The owners were able to successfully sue the government, citing a past supreme court case that ruled flood waters going onto private property from government flood control structures is an unconstitutional taking of their property, even if the owners knew the risks. https://www.texastribune.org/2019/12/17/hurricane-harvey-flood-victims-barker-addicks-reservoirs-win-lawsuit/ Feels like this is setting up a lovely situation as intense storms are getting more common, if these lawsuits will apply to stormdrains and sewers that back up and smaller agencies without money printers will be held liable for damage they can't budget for or get money to fix.

The way I see it, the farmers in the forties had a case against the Army Corps of Engineers, but at some point is just becomes existing topography. The Great Plains states should sue the Rocky Mountains states for putting them in rain shadow.

500 year flood is stupid for 0.2% annual chance at a single location.

My house is in a city protected by a floodway surrounded by communities with a history of being hosed by floods. I'm gonna make bank when I rent out my garage to 2 refugee families from one of the towns just up the river for 3K a side.

Shifty Nipples posted:you ever just, watch water boil? yeah I used to enjoy making solutions when I worked in a chemistry lab becuase you put some powder in glassware with a stir bar and you watch it disappear or slowly disappear I used to love doing titrations because you got to watch the color indicator appear then disappear (or disappear and reappear) slower and slower and until one drop of the titrant would change the whole solution in an instant e: then I had to revalidate the plant's lyophilzation cycles for all 10 of their chambers so I basically did Karl Fischer titrations for 8 hours a day everyday for about a month and I never wanted to do another again spacemang_spliff has issued a correction as of 03:22 on Sep 14, 2021 |

Shifty Nipples posted:blows my mind when I think about trying to model every water droplet/particle in a section of the atmosphere or the changing winds at different altitudes loving fluid dynamics is wild this is not how weather models work weather models are imaginary 3d grids overlayed onto the atmosphere. The grid size varies, but let's say a typical one is 20km. That means it's a huge 3d array of 20km cubes representing the whole atmosphere each cube gets a number for pressure, temperature, wind direction, etc. That's all it is. There is no attempt to model every particle, and there never will be without science fiction computers.

HashtagGirlboss posted:Huh. That wasn’t supposed to happen It's been moving verrrrry slowly, so had just enough time to suck up those warm gulf waters and cross the threshold. Not great news for Houston et al, but at least it's nowhere near a Harvey level event (unless someone nukes it before tomorrow morning). Latest forecast track has it hitting Lake Charles, because of course it is.
