The floods in Louisiana and east Texas - great grandma and her four grandkids

[malaise]

drown in Texas as a wall of water came down.

How a man, his wife and two kids are alive I don't know as a tree split the home in two.
East Texas is a mess

1. Beyond dreadful. I spent the afternoon

with our grandchildren.

MORE record flooding. No doubt the people down there will get to work dealing with this one too. But the coastal plain, rising seas, sinking land, perhaps stronger storms, climate change.

Our little dock on an estuary right off Tampa Bay is often flooded these days, just 4 years ago much more rarely. What're communities in your area going to do, Malaise? Is all okay with you?

Alas I know many here still don't care (climate change)
