We had a massive flood in the small town where I grew up in very rural West Virginia in 2001. Water receded after a week but it took another 2-6 months of cleaning to get rid of all of the mud and debris. Can't imagine the kind of cleanup after a flood like that.

SirPablo posted:Recovery isn't going to happen overnight, or without massive loss of life, but the land will become fertile farming again. If this was a normal floodplain situation, yeah, here's your farmland back with new and improved fertility, try to avoid building in the flood zone again dumbasses. However, Pakistan depends on glacier meltwater for irrigating summer crops and there seems to be a bit of problem with those glaciers disappearing. The fertility boost might be short lived, relatively speaking. Waiting with bated breath for the Fraser Valley to get blown out to sea again this November. Why are we putting condo developments on farmland again?

I mean how long does it take a condo to grow, and how many can you feasible plant per acre? It's possible they are just the best crop.

They taste nice bulldozed, chopped up and put into a pasta? Was just thinking of having a pasta to night you see, which is why I ask. dr_rat has issued a correction as of 06:51 on Sep 8, 2022 |

If you locked two guys in a condo with no food or entertainment other than an intense amount of historical and current weather data, they'd probably come up with some interesting models after a week or so

NeonPunk posted:Whatever happened to that whole spiel about "we have earthquake but at least we don't get hurricanes it’s always been a bit of a technicality. water temps drop rapidly as you go north from baja to San Diego so hurricanes lose all their strength and Southern California only gets remnants. you can see it all pretty clearly here: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/data/sst/contour/gulfcalf.cf.gif and here: https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/data/sst/contour/californ.cf.gif you need 27C to maintain a tropical storm.
