Ted Cruz wants the panhandle to secede from Texas and be its own state named North Texas. Then, he wants D/FW to be referred to as East-North Texas.
4 children from the same family. Devastating. https://earthsky.org/earth/kentucky-flooding-crushes-records-july-28-2022/ Kentucky flooding brings death and destruction Record-breaking flooding devastated small mountain communities in Kentucky and Virginia today (July 28, 2022) after heavy thunderstorms locked in on the region. According to Chris Johnson from Fox 56 Weather, in nine hours, 10-12 inches of rain fell over very steep terrain. It filled the narrow valleys with rushing water, as creeks rose. First responders rescued dozens of people from the rising floodwaters. But hundreds more remained trapped through the day. As of Friday (July 29, 2022), officials reported 16 deaths, including four young children from the same family. Kentucky flood surpasses records A river gauge along the North Fork Kentucky River in Whitesburg measured a 20-foot water level increase in 10 hours. A weather station recorded the all-time highest water level of 21 feet around 1 pm in Whitesburg, crushing the old record of 14.7 feet set in 1957. The actual river crest may have been higher, but because of a data loss at the station, measurements stopped at the 21-foot mark. Floodwaters completely inundated downtown, forcing residents to seek higher ground. And flooding completely submerged the elementary school for hours. A dangerous week for flooding in the US The flooding in Kentucky follows an intense week of heavy rainfall across the country. The same weather system dumped 12 to 14 inches of rainfall in Missouri, leading to widespread damage and water rescues. St. Louis measured a single-day rainfall record in just a few hours. Flash flooding also occurred in Colorado, Arizona and Utah on Thursday. And forecasters call for more flooding in the coming week. Meteorologists expect heavy rain to continue in Kentucky and far western Virginia on Friday and Saturday. The stubborn frontal system will bring more chances for slow-moving thunderstorms, which could drop an additional two to four inches of rain. The frontal system will also remain through the beginning of August, although forecasts remain uncertain about the exact placement of the heaviest rain. Bottom line: Record-breaking flooding devastated parts of Kentucky as 10 to 12 inches of rain fell. The Kentucky flooding is one of the most devastating flooding events in the state’s history.
At least you got 2 minutes of it... I'm still praying for some. Back in Spring I was saying how much rain we were getting. I knew then I jinxed it.
Nothing that clever. Just being a smart ass and for some reason thought of pee wees big adventure. His bike is surely there too.
Technically around 2 months with no rain in DFW after I talked about how rainy it seemed a few months ago... never again. Guess I'm just happy the temps are going to be "dropping" into the 90s again for highs. lol.
