I am inclined to think that Trump and his buddies may well mess the US up badly enough to bring about a generational shift to the left.

Yes, unless one of the countries he's busy ticking off decides to attack us. Susan
DeleteAlan, it looks that way...assuming we survive as a country.
DeleteSpeaking of surviving as a country, Israel as we have known it may self-destruct in the not-so-distant future. I commend to your consideration the YouTube channel KernowDamo [click], many of whose videos chronicle the woes of Israel and her most loyal allies.
What the National Weather Service calls "catastrophic flooding" with potential for "major loss of life" is continuing in Western Washington.
ReplyDeleteAn atmospheric river parked over the region has dropped 16 inches of rain over the past three days, the Seattle Times is reporting.
Hardest hit is Skagit County, two counties north of Seattle, where 100,000 people face evacuation orders amid fears that dikes on the Skagit River will not hold.
I am doing OK here. Some King County rivers are flooding, including the Cedar, Nooksack, Snohomish and Stillaguamish, are flooding. But there is no flooding in Seattle.
But major highways are closed, including I-90 to the east.
More to come. -- nordy
Keeping you in my prayers, Nordy.
DeleteThe Times also reports that during a news conference in Skagit County Thursday, Gov. Bob Ferguson said the state tried to persuade FEMA Wednesday to provide federal assistance, but did not have any updates yet about whether that assistance will be coming.
ReplyDeleteCatastrophic flooding could bring significant risk to life and property, with a high risk of levees being topped and landslides expected in steep terrain, according to the National Weather Service. It could also mean record floods that destroy roads and structures and require evacuations or rescues of people and property, National Weather Service meteorologist Steve Reedy said.
Severe flooding is expected from Mount Vernon in Skagit County through Everett in Snohomish County and into areas east of Redmond in rural King
County.
Thousands of people fled their homes Wednesday and Thursday as the Skagit River swelled. The river is predicted to rise through Thursday before cresting at 39 feet Friday morning in Mount Vernon, which would be a record.

Thanks, Cat! I am doing fine. -- nordy
DeleteAuthorities keep eye on levees as Skagit River nears crest
ReplyDeleteSeattle Times:
Cresting floodwaters of the Skagit River are moving steadily downstream toward the largest cities in the county as local, state and federal officials warn of potentially grave and catastrophic danger in the hours ahead.
Rainfall might have stopped for the moment but the water built up over days of torrential rain from an atmospheric river over the region is still making its way to the ocean. The crest of the water is expected to arrive in Mount Vernon Friday morning, according to predictions.
It’s expected to reach 2 feet higher than record levels, said Robert Ezelle, director of Washington’s Emergency Management Division.
Some 78,000 people live within the floodplain of Skagit County and many more have been ordered to evacuate. In Mount Vernon, police and fire crews are heading from door to door, warning people of the deluge that’s headed their way. Floodwalls and levees will be put to the test like never before, and Gov. Bob Ferguson said he’s trying to convince the federal government to listen to its own forecasters.

November warmest on record
ReplyDeleteHey! A weather blogger I know is quoted in this article, complete with his data! He was known as "Blizzard92" on the weather blog, and was amazingly accurate in forecasting...and it turned out he was in high school! But now he has his PhD and is a Climate Scientist. 😊 So proud.
nordy...I'm relieved you are okay still. Thanks for keeping us posted!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing your reports (minus personal info) on my little weather blog. There's nothing like an eyewitness account and folks will be sending good vibes your way
