I was just curious whether or not anybody on this site has considered
that the 7 of 10 could be climate related? It is now a fact being
reported on the news that 2010 is the hottest year on record for the northern hemisphere.
Add to that the horrendous and numerous floods that have been occurring
worldwide and we have fairly widespread devastation and the year is
still young. At the current moment we, here in Iowa, have a dam on a
fairly major lake that is crumbling. There is one small town and a
small city in the flood plain that the authorities are trying to get
evacuated. This is a major disaster unfolding in front of my eyes! The flash flood warnings are being broadcast about every 5 minutes on our major networks! Iowa has been having terrible monsoon
like rainstorms dumping as much as 8-10 inches of rain in just a couple
of hours for the past several weeks! These storms have been happening
over and over again. There has been maybe 1 day in the last 2 weeks
where there hasn't been a storm someplace in my state. Our soil is
saturated and there is just no place left for the water to go. This
disaster is young but I am guessing we will all be hearing a great deal
more about it in the very near future.
Earlier today I saw thatthere is major flooding in Chicago from the same storm systems that have
been assaulting Iowa. A day or so ago it was in Michigan. When will
people start connecting the dots?
Record temperatures on the east coast, record cold in the Southern Hemisphereand world wide flooding. Taken as individual events these are tragic
but not alarming. Taken as a whole it smacks of 7 of 10!
Namaste,
Steve
