xpostin some thoughts i had in teh gbs thread and startin to get even angrier about The Times reading through the NOAA site, the resources they have deployed is incredible. each flow gauge along these rivers has individual qualitative descriptors for what each quantitative flood-stage level means: Cape Fear River At Lock 1 posted:
anyone who complains about government spending money on any variety of civil infrastructure should be catapulted into the sun to spare the gene pool this is an unbelievable font of informatio nand anyone who wants to can just look it up, this is what an actual society should look like and the pisspig in charge wants to destroy it all

Gringostar posted:i don't know the soil makeup of the flooded areas but if it's heavily clay based that's actually really good news as far as saving what they can from houses since clay is the most resilient (aside from bedrock of course) when it comes to soil foundation great news, it's mostly very sandy garbage soils east of the piedmont

not to mention the floods in 2015 already screwed up an enormous amount of the carolinas border area the farmers i worked with in Dillon SC got 18 inches of rain that stood on their neighbors fields for almost a month and maybe two weeks on their own plots (because we'd been doing a lot of work to build up infiltration profiles which is very useful, but still...)

lmao at Florence coming back with a vengeance https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article218918235.html a knock-on effect of horrendous flooding is that there's never a long enough time over which "routine" weather patterns remain dry for the additional volume of water to... infiltrate/evaporate/run off.

Addamere posted:This is America, buddy. We don't just respond to things that obviously require intervention. Yeah sure maybe it's "bad out", but what do you expect us to do about that? It's "bad out" everywhere! Until you bring that air down to the office and fill out some forms for means tested tax credits, we've got no way to know how "bad out" it is. i was about to make this post myself because u see as soon as we have attached a Number to the Badness, we can all congratulate ourselves on a job well done and all the loving people debating over the accuracy of sensors are doing exactly what we are ironically posting

Nocturtle posted:I've been seriously wondering about this, NYC is facing an imminent existential threat but there's been barely any work towards storm/sea rise protection. All of those billionaire pencil skyscrapers are worth nothing if the city stop working because the subways flooded. Maybe the authorities figure that NYC is doomed no matter what on a 100-year timescale, so investing money is pointless. But then why fund the LGA renovation, given that it's already regularly flooding. i walked by metropolitan hospital, the "poor people" hospital on the north side of the island serving East Harlem the other day and lo! there are flood initiatives already being deployed:  they're sandbags that don't even make it all the way around the building.
