This week the news “data” was that all the rain we have received this MONTH would cover the state 8’ deep. Another story says that we could give every person in the world an 8oz glass of water.
Yes, we have a lot of geology here!
Dunno. Are you talking about Stevie Ray Vaughan? He quit drinking at some point a few years before he died. This is well known. He made a point of trying to positively influence people in this regard
Well I’m just saying it’s not global warming. That’s all
We heard about this in 1971 from or earth science teacher. Our house was on the beach. It’s still there sous the same water line hasn’t moved an inch
Earned a science degree. I know the difference between a theory and a fact
Can’t be cool enough. Bring on the ice age.
Stanne, i agree anthropogenic global warming is bs. However, that doesn’t mean that going into a natural cooling cycle is also bs.
Texas has been flooding and droughting for millions of years before India and China industrialized in the ‘90s, throwing all that pollution into the skies. Can’t tie us to AGW.
Floods in Texas are nothing new. I’ve been through more than I can count and haven’t lived there in more than twenty years. Got caught in one just visiting in the nineties. Ice age? Please stop this BS prediction on one event crap
“the humidity might be on the extreme end”
Around the Gulf Coast, the humidity is normally on the extreme end
All the telephone lines are down
I have no problem with the theories of and patterns of natural climate change and cycles.
This judgemental pagan view of how we are so powerful and misguided is non scientific, economically insound, theoretically flawed and unproven and makes too much money for people who, if mm global warming WERE true, would not be able to care any less about us
Back home there are no floods or tornadoes
the sun shines every day
Telephone lines down? No sweat...if the house is a rockin’, don’t bother knockin’, just come on in.
. survival skills include bow hunting polar bear,
. 
...and guarding the stash
Austin not maintaining something they own? Shocking!
Shoal Creek has flooded many times in the 27 years that I have been here. I probably have an old newspaper clipping around somewhere of water nearly covering a stop sign along Lamar near downtown. That must have been in the late 80’s.
The drought of the last few years has lulled a lot of newcomers into a false sense of security with regard to where houses are built. When the deed says floodplain, they mean it. Texas floods are swift and unforgiving. I remember one area in particular near where I lived at the time being flooded repeatedly with deep water and was sad that a developer put houses right there because I knew this day would come. That area should have never been zoned for dwellings of any kind.
lol. I first heard that song as hurricane Alicia was hitting the Texas coast. The album had just been released and a local station was playing it that night. 101.1
“Anglos” is a racist term. I do not accept it’s use
