When you live in the middle of a major city you have no room.

My roommate keeps getting on me to pick up some water bottles, despite the fact I have a good 15 gallons of bulk water and purification things, so I'm not exactly sure what the advantage would be in bottle form.

Surely anyone could a couple gallons of eater under their bed or on top of the fridge or something, and who doesn't have at least 1 shelf in a cabinet they could stow a few days of dry goods in?

quote:

If a similar storm were to happen today, the study says, up to 10 million people would be displaced, major interstate freeways such as Interstates 5 and 80 would be shut down for months, and population centers including Stockton, Fresno and parts of Los Angeles would be submerged — a $1-trillion disaster larger than any in world history.

It would also likely be “bigger in almost every respect” than what scientists have come to call the “ARKStorm scenario” of 1862, said climate scientist Daniel Swain, co-author of the study published Friday in the journal Science Advances.

“There’s more rain overall, more intense rainfall on an hourly basis and stronger wind,” he said.

i hate this kind of worthless "science" because it's the dumbest possible poo poo that's obviously fake and is trivially disproven and chuds use it as a gotcha there's no global warming because you lied about water running out of a glass

yes, damp healthy ground absorbs water faster than baked, dry fields. no, it's nowhere near as dramatic as that dogshit video

Ahem, you did not do this experiment properly. You need to compare it on a parched field for it to be an acceptable result.

That's so goddamned pitch-perfect it makes me grind my teeth, lol.

The legitimate answer to that is I'm not performing an experiment here, I'm requesting more data from the original experiment to confirm that their methodology properly accounted for the surface tension of water.
