This time in Ruidoso, New Mexico so far 3 reported dead 2 children and an older male. Another flash flood, in a pretty barren area no less. NYtimes just happened to be the first link in the search due to Google algorithm I have no preference. That aside, last flood thread I talked about the flooding in my area before the hill country and I live in a very arid cactus growing area of Texas. We shouldn't flood, yet we did. Granted the giant creek near us that has been dry for decades is now full to the top if it had water in it we would be washed out too and surprisingly we still flooded just not as extreme as these places. I dont want to say something is going on, but something is going on and its still going.

I just watched CNN interviewing Bill Nye, the science guy, and he points to climate change - the burning of fossil fuels.

He mainly wanted to point this out:

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 8:[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."

Storm and flood warnings:

"As 27 million Americans are under severe thunderstorm and flash flood watch on Wednesday, a line of strong storms packing intense rainfall is threatening the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
 Major I-95 cities -- Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia -- could be impacted as heavy downpours could bring 2-3 inches of rainfall per hour over already saturated soils, which could easily cause flash flooding."

Flash flood watch in effect for Washington, DC, major Mid-Atlantic cities

Keep safe to those affected.
