Here comes the flood

 

Not even counting disasters that have unfolded in recent years, the United States in 2025 alone has experienced absolutely unprecedented catastrophic record-setting flooding — and we are just past the half way point in the calendar year, and only one month into hurricane season which officially runs through the end of November. As of this writing, the National Weather Service has already issued more than 3,600 flash flood warnings across the country this year.

We’ve all surely seen the devastating weather coverage of what occurred in Texas over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, and also recently in North Carolina. But such flooding has also occurred in New Mexico, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Washington DC, New Jersey, and Kentucky. I seem to remember the strip in Las Vegas being hit by a once-in-a-generation storm just last year, with flash flood waters pouring through the arid desert streets directly onto casino floors.

Folks, this isn’t normal. And with the decimation of all things related to preparedness, notification alerts, and response by our current federal government, it’s going to go from bad to worse — and soon. And we are not alone, as this is seemingly unfolding as a global phenomenon.

I grew into adolescence in the 80’s, about two decades after Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring,” the first call to arms of many which warned us of impending ecological and environmental disasters if we didn’t change our tune immediately. And throughout the decades since, millionaires — and now billionaires — have exacerbated this nightmare with an absolutely insatiable greed through the need to amass stockpiles of as many dirty pieces of paper with pictures of dead white men on them as possible. The result is what the left now refers to as “climate change” and the right refers to as “hoax.”

Isn’t it obvious that smear campaign in favor of the fossil fuel industry and against the environmental movement has, in fact, been deadly wrong all along? If the intensity and frequency of these unmitigated burgeoning climate crises isn’t enough to wake the human species up to what’s really going on, then I simply can’t see how we’re not going to end up living in a real life version of the blockbuster movie Waterworld.

Just saying, now would be a good time to invest in a boat. Yay! A stock bump for the Brunswick Corporation! That'll solve my current financial dilemma.
