Holy Shit look at water in South West Miami Dade and Fort Lauderdale

[malaise]

Entire farms of green beans, squash and cucumbers under water.

4. Drumpf & DeSantis Will Save Them

I hope some of the Cuban Drumpf voters lose all their crops.

7. Stopped at the Amish store.

No shortage of veggies. Apples piled up. Been a decent growing season in Michigan.

8. Those farmers

wouldn't turn down a little socialism right now

9. Mr. Acosta, out for a "walk" with his two-year-old, said he's

never seen the water this high, not even with Irma. Just another 2-3 inches higher and passing cars could cause water to wash into his house.

10. I have never seen rain like I saw with Eta in Jamaica

and although several people lost homes, livestock and crops we had nothing compared to Guatemala where over 150 people died and one woman lost 22 members of her family.

Rescue workers have clambered over treacherous roads buried in mud and rubble to reach a remote mountain village in Guatemala swamped by a devastating storm that has killed dozens of people, including 22 members of the same family.

Torrential downpours unleashed by Storm Eta toppled trees, engorged swift-moving rivers, and ripped down parts of a mountainside above the village of Queja in the central Guatemalan region of Alta Verapaz, burying dozens of people in their homes.

The heavy rains were still triggering mudslides in Queja on Saturday as one villager, Gloria Cac, a member of the Poqomchi people, was left distraught by the loss of 22 family members after the mountain collapsed onto the village.

Cac, carrying a small child in her arms, said: “All my family is gone, I’m the only survivor. My dad, mother, siblings, aunts and uncles, grandparents, they’re all gone. Twenty-two family members.”

11. Beyond dreadful. The heavy rains that finally arrive

in the Appalachians from the storms rolling through the Caribbean can't be anything compared to that, but they're serious here, and landslides and debris flows from the climate crisis are increasing here all the time also. The map of known, mapped earth movements from the past is downright scary to view because it reveals how unstable much of their forested mountainside is.

And creeks and rivers of all sizes have had more and more homes built along them because, after all, massive flooding and debris flows never happened before, except for rare historic disasters that did kill hundreds... Dangerously unstable mining waste pits, and buried poisons that increasing rains increasingly leach into drinking water.

For now the biggest problem people worry about is all the trees downed with each storm, with hundreds of thousands without power for days, but that'll change. And with the next drought the increasing, inevitable wildfires in the eastern U.S. will also resume.

Take care. I like thinking of you at least safe and comfy in your location as the rains beat outside.

12. This system had and still has unbelievable rain

Last night our local news showed lots of homes, trees, stones and silt coming down the hillsides in Shooter's Hill. In fact one home had come down and killed a man and his daughter after Zeta so you know the ground was beyond saturated. Across the island, bridges and roads are gone and rivers are running through roads.. I've never seen anything like this.

I believe this was one serious system and guess what - it isn't over yet. Here's the 7.00am update

13. What you describe, with Theta coming right behind.

I wish our middle and western states were getting more of these hard knocks impossible to ignore, instead of mostly just decline, anxiety-provoking but easy to push out of mind. For so many, denial seems to have morphed into defiant acceptance, and more denial and refusal to act.

With things so bad, will people in risky areas there go to shelters for this as they do for hurricanes?

[malaise]

14. Theta isn't coming this way

That will be a problem for the Azores and then Europe if it survives.

When the one below us develops it will be Iota

[Hortensis]

17. Oh, Iota. I was wondering where the third one was.

Well, Theta's a break for your area at least, heading for Africa as it turns out! I've gotten used to assuming they were all heading west.

Perhaps Iota won't form in that area being watched. Good luck to all.

15. Hope Pence is enjoying his Sanibel raincation, w. Eta heading north

16. Wondered about that yesterday - could get rough

Sanibel Island & Captiva Island are located off the coast of southwest Florida, just west of Fort Myers, Florida. Fort Myers is situated between Naples, FL and Tampa
