Homes swamped after levee is breached in Washington state

[Concerned American]

Lol, that shit costs. Civil engineering report has stressed a d minus report for 20 years. We are what 38 trillion in debt. Where's the money coming from. This show is coming to a theater near you soon. Sewers and bridges are behind on maintenance country wide

Let's spend a few more billion on frivolous scam impeachments, investigations, lawfare, obstruction, illegal immigrants, and handouts, eh?

I've played a small part in local flood disasters ......people loose it all......local economy suffers......fema comes to town....100 yr flood plains turn to 10 yr....etc ~S~

We need more bike trails and flower gardens in the middle of intersections. Nobody gives a shit about sewers and bridges.

I know you are being sarcastic but it sure seems like that is the way people feel sometimes. I see the stuff you mentioned going in while the stuff that actually makes things work get ignored. It seems as though beautiful is more important than necessary to most people these days. I myself have not been immune to this in some areas. When I was a young man I went after the sexy female over the ones with substance. I got exactly what I deserved in that arena. Now I am old and divorced. We are going to get what we deserve out of infrastructure the way it appears.

Overnight, a levee was breached on the White River in Pacific, Washington, after days of heavy rain and flooding in the region. Carter Evans reports.

A parade of Pacific storms, accompanied by atmospheric rivers, will continue to march into the West Coast, bringing a threat of more rain to already flooded areas of western Washington, and an increasing flood threat to Oregon and Northern California into this weekend.

The latest atmospheric river Monday dumped another 2 to 5 inches of rain in the Cascades and Olympics of Washington state, which were still recovering from 10 to 18 inches of rain during last week's procession of atmospheric rivers.

Atmospheric rivers? Really?

Sorry folks but when Mother Nature decides to take a dump on you she will.

Hope their not waiting on our federal government to help.

A dumb **** statement. About ten thousand years of relative climate stability. During which we developed our present civilization.

Yeah it is called an INTERGLACIAL which means more stable weather processes, it was a lot less stable during the LIA time when storms were far worse than they are now.
