Rain Bombs

[Chizzang]

Well...
we're going to need to clear about 600 square miles of old growth to get started
We are surrounded by an amazing forest that has to be seen to be believed

I think we'll only need your yard

It looks like this...

AC is bad for the environment.

Take that back.

Enjoying the 100 degree heat with no ac?

Me and the girlfriend just purchased a brand new home in North Creek (about 20 miles from downtown Seattle)
Construction finished in March - anyway we have AC and it's glorious

BTW:
We also have a mating pair of Pileated Woodpecker's and a pair of adorable Downey's in the neighborhood
We live right along an old growth forest and a fantastic swamp

Very cool

when's the invite?

BTW I don't know about "Rain Bombs" but right now I am a little nervous. I can remember that, last August, I looked at the long term Weather.com rainfall predictions and saw that it was predicted to rain just about every day for weeks. I came on this board and wrote that I thought I might need to build an ark. Then we had that big flood disaster event.

Now here we go again. Things can change but here is the forecast in terms of percent rain chance for tonight then for next 14 days:

80%, 80%, 80%, 100%, 50%, 30%, 40%, 60%, 60%, 60%, 60%, 60%, 60%, 60%, 60%

And when it rains in South Louisiana in the summertime it's usually not a drizzle. It's usually a series of cloudbursts.

Now, me personally, I think I'm OK in terms of my property. My house is on something called the "Highland Ridge" and we stayed high and dry last August. But having the whole area around me and my family under water was not pleasant.

That is a term used - our local weathermen use it.

So instead of making fun of Al Gore, maybe you should pay attention and try to learn something. But that would be too inconvenient for you, right?

Well heck. The article did say that Louisiana suffered a "rain bomb" last year but if you click on the link that's supposed to tell you exactly what it is you get a message saying that only Bloomberg professional subscribers have access to it. Guess I'll have to Google it.

Ok I Googled it. What happened to Louisiana was not a rain bomb. What happened to Louisiana was much worse. It wasn't a microburst. It was a steady, widespread rainfall event over many hours. Sustained downpour.

So you're a stone's throw from SeaGriz? That could be bad for your sobriety

Ha..!!
(I missed this post earlier)
I wonder how much of your quality work I just blindly skip over..?

and yes, I do live closer to SeaGriz than I'm comfortable with...

Why does Al gore use 34 times the electricity an average American uses? He is the biggest hypocrite on the planet.

How does the square footage compare to the Castile degli Algore?

We're really enjoying climate change here in the Pacific North West...

Zero Days below freezing in the winter time
65 degree days in February
100 consecutive days of sunshine come June thru September
Hummingbirds and song birds don't migrate away during winter anymore

Climate Change
Because Change is Good

This house is 2,000 sq. ft.
Perfect for a boy and a girl to hang out in
The Palm Springs house is bigger, I think 2,700 and it feels mostly un-used except the kitchen and the pool

We used to just say "like a cow pissing on cement"!

Flat rock is the correct terminology..... it's important to get rural similie and metaphor correct for our children

Up North from Victor, in Florence, we had a slightly different version...."like a cow pissin' on a flat rock"....

This is the correct version.

Some of us didn't have rocks, just flat fertile black dirt, so the cement in the barn was the hardest surface for miles.

Out in these parts it was 'cow pissing on scabrock'.

Spoiler: show

I have no clue if anyone has ever actually said that. I made it up but it sounded right.

[ASUG8]

So you attack me, and Al Gore with a non-sequitor.

Typical GOP behavior - proven wrong, you resort to baseless attacks on the person, since you can't refute the data.

Al isn't walking the talk.

I'm sure he's using all electric private planes to fly around the world to promote his theories, movies, and books also. What a freakin' hypocrite.

Somehow I doubt the PS place needs climate control when they aren't there
