The incoming storm is a one-in-1,000-year event. Floods like this have a 0.1% chance of happening in any given year.
On Mon, AccuWeather published a report about the "conveyor belt of moisture," which is going to bring hours of heavy rain from Wed-Sat night from AK thru the MS Valley & into the OH Valley.
"That moisture plume, known as an atmospheric river, will be tropical in nature & originate from the Caribbean."
Rs need to restore #FEMA, now.

@KimPerales Darwin Games: Those who know reliable news sources will cope, all others will be in big trouble.

“Rs need to restore #FEMA, now."
I'm really starting to wonder how viable that will be within an effective timeframe. By the time the MAGA zealots have come round to the realisation, the institution will be lost anyway.
IMHO blue and likeminded states should form a coalition to absorb this and other functions.
Per earlier posts, letter to Newsom from last year…
Newsome is not a Democrat, may become whatever Dr. Brainworm is now. Or AfD, or maybe a brown shirt.
That seems orthogonal to the general idea?

Yes, I call the associated states the #bluealliance.
I wasn't aware of #bluealliance when I wrote the letter, but yes, definitely the same aim.

That's an intriguing idea.
If red states don't want the benefits of FEMA, and libraries, and schools, they don't get them. But that's no reason for the rest of us to do without civilization.
That would mean I'll finally have to move out of Texas. Aye, there's the rub.
The draining of blue dots out of red states would exacerbate the problems, wouldn't it?
@mmalc @KimPerales We may have to get our hurricane forecasts from Cuba
@KimPerales they're no longer 1,000 year events when they're happening routinely.
Thanks for the heads up.
Its an ALARM. This massive storm filled with historic amounts of water from the Gulf of Mexico will double and redouble damages expected from the worst of the midwest's history of seasonal storms
@KimPerales we seem to be having these once in a thousand year weather events a couple times a decade anymore...
