This reminds me of the weather 1.8 billion years ago.

Floods in the South of France a couple of days ago.
Floods in Turkey, in September.
Floods in the Philippines, beginning of October.
Floods in India kill hundreds, beginning of October.
Heavy snowfall in the Czech Republic.
Sure that I could find some other stuff if you like.

It's the old weather vs climate argument.

Deep in the Texas drought area, it was interesting to watch. My pond went dry, just like it did a couple of decades ago. But now we're dealing with floods. Lady swept away yesterday. El Nino is back.

Holy Crap! I better go out and buy a Prius now before we have MORE weather that we have experienced before!

Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

In this area, it's the wettest October in over 20 years.

Yea...
Here in Illinois we've been having a ridiculously wet year. I'm not sure we're going to get a clean harvest.
Best check your HFCS for mold this year.
But really, this is weather we're experiencing. Can't really straight up blame this on global warming as these places have been having droughts throughout history. Here's food for the eco-idiot thought: Desertification in Africa may be slowing down global warming, because the Sahara sand is Iron seeding the Atlantic and allowing algae growth which is generating biomass consuming carbon dioxide. Who are you going to cheer for?!

It's hard for me to concentrate on droughts right now. It rained for 24 of 29 days here, and my parents are staying in my house with us because their entire neighborhood is facing a serious flood because a levee is overflowing. It's been close to breaking since Thursday night.

My parents' house is the one with the swimming pool...

Parts of Louisiana, Florida, Texas, California, New York, and most costal region will be swallow up by the ocean.

WTH indeed.
As far as I can tell, there is no cause - effect relationship between the "dry" and the crack forming.

The droughts are quite terrible.
But those countries have to deal with it right now.
