Is AGW making the USA unlivable?
Jul 11th, 2023 at 10:17am
 
It seems that it is every month there is a flood, heatwave, tornado, or hurricane causing human misery in the USA.

Today New York State had an 8-inch [200 mm] rain deluge. People died again.

Home insurance is becoming unaffordable in some parts of the USA.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Wow. People have never died in floods before. Roll Eyes

"According to Weather Stern, the all-time record for rain in a 24 hour period was set August 13-14, 2014, when 13.57 inches was overserved at the Islip Macarthur Airport. records indicate that over an inch of rain fell in under 10 minutes that day (5:39 - 5;48 AM).

What makes this even more astounding was this event was not even tied to a tropical storm of any kind.

Australia has seen some pretty high rainfall
days too.

In QLD at Mt Bellenden Ker, 37.8 inches was
recorded on 4 January 1979.  [BoM data]
