I seen a huge weather event a week ago here in Oregon....4" of rain for Eugene and over a inch for Portland.

You don't see this during the summer.

Oregon still holds the record for the most deaths in a flash flood without a dam involved. This was the flood that destroyed much of Heppner in 1903. At present, we, and most of the Western States, have far too many small dams that are in danger of being overtopped and the resultant flood doing the same for rural communities. Just to name one, Canyon Meadows Dam.

Well Staph, indeed, some people have already drowned, or been killed by the floods. And, yes, when you get this much rain in a short period, it is an extreme weather event. One that is presently creating many millions of dollars in property and infrastructure damage. As well as causing deaths of some of our citizens.

We're so doomed.

In other words, ignore the reality of events, and just go on living in your alternative universe.

In my younger days I lived in this exact same area. I saw plenty of "extreme" weather events. One day we had so much hail it caused $600 million in damages.

Big Thompson Flood of 1976

The Big Thompson flood of 1976 was the deadliest flash flood in Colorado’s recorded history. On July 31, between 12 and 14 inches of rain fell over a four-hour period in the mountains around the resort town of Estes Park. Unusual weather patterns allowed the huge storm system to stall over the area as it dumped its load. The monstrous flood took 144 lives and injured 150 people.

This flooding is a big YAWN compared to the Big Thompson flood.

No --- we're all just trying to hear you say that this all because of CO2..

The reality is it's called the 100-year-flood for a reason.

I'm sure it's a minor event. Colorado can take care of their own.

they want to pin some stupid label like deniers on people, Goebbels WARMING is what we should all start calling it now

Well, Staph, one would hardly expect you to have any knowledge in any aspect of science. Just a flap-yapper like the rest of the fools here.

So i suppose this is somehow related to CO2?

It's rain.

Every place on the planet has been flooded at one time or another.

Even before there were people to blame it on.

Statistic Dudley.. Probably Rayleigh distribution of events.
Same way that the Cleveland Browns predict their wins..
