Your life must be miserable, and obviously panic filled, since you choose not to see past the nose on the end of your face, and no interest in seeing how long term history is actually very much relevant to today.
Or is your pocketbook just getting bigger.
1921
In San Antonio, a light rain began on September 8. The rain continued the next day, growing more intense. Lingering over the northern portion of Bexar County, the storm dropped a foot-and-a-half of rain.
For the people of San Antonio, the rain could not have fallen in a worse place—Bexar County’s highest, rockiest terrain. Running down hillsides and draws, rain water filled Apache and Olmos Creeks and surged into the San Antonio River, bearing down on the Alamo City.
Sudden rises on Alazan and Martinez Creeks sent water ripping though low-lying areas on the city’s west and south sides. “Rescue workers began helping dwellers of the flooded districts to safety as early as 11 o’clock,” the San Antonio Express reported.
“Entire families were washed away,” police officer Jack Thompson said the next morning. “The cries of the helpless and the barking of hundreds of dogs made the night one of terror. We saw people within twenty-five feet of us, yet unable to reach them.”
By midnight, nearly fifty houses had been washed away, “churned into a shapeless mass of debris,” as the newspaper put it.
At 1:30 a.m. Saturday, a 12-foot wave swept across much of downtown. People still up and about raced up stairs in the city’s high-rise buildings, barely ahead of the lapping flood water. Others, trapped outside, tumbled downstream.

After the 1921 flood.
San antonio was covered downtown with from 2-12 ft of water.
And in Williamsburg county over 38 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Wow and the world started in 1880? The world is 4 billion years old, what about the other 3.99999999 billion that you've left out of that graph?
OK so do you have the data to show us earth was warming and cooling for the past 3.9 billion or whatever number of years the earth's been around? I will wait, go ahead and dig up your data for the past 5 billion years, give or take the initial few centuries when the earth was cooling down after the big bang.
Gawd oh Gawd, do you realize that data from million years ago is no longer relevant? We have drastically changed the atmosphere as a result of human activity since the industrial revolution. I don't give a f*ck what the warming trends looked like in the past just as I don't give a f*ck about what the humans looked like in the past. I want to know how this shit is going to impact us here and now. And the here and now situation is the frightening situation.
You morons are incapable of understanding that even though earth may have been warming and cooling, idiots, the trend has accelerated. Gawd f**k us all, but the fact is we are making it worse.
Gawd, I gave you an example already didn't I? Just because huymans have been dying for billions of years does not mean we should ignore the current threats of tterrorism and gun violence.
Shit in my mouth someone.
