Fuck me gently. It seems we have a number of Early Doors Eddies on here.

You all knew what I meant though. Good enough for me.

As an aside, missed an earthquake in Morocco by a few days! Safe to say the the hotel purchase I had a small bit to play in is now off! Got over here and they didn't feel a thing. I am looking across at the Atlas Mountains as I type.

Glad to hear you're safe, mate.

Cheers C. Hoping to be up there soon. I'll have the detractors lining up outside the club shop if everything falls into place. Some water to flow under the bridge yet.

This is east of England at this moment.

Similar in the North East.

Like a war zone.

Absolutely fuck here. We really do have the shitiest weather.

Was driving in it, up towards Newcastle. Never known conditions like it.

Libya have had just weather.

2,000 dead and 10,000 missing presumed dead.

Over 12000 lightning strikes that day in the UK apparently. 

I remember being in Leicestershire once for a long weekend in a village.

Had a thunder storm and deluge that day, and had to stop the car. Couldn't see safely, and thr road was filling up as the drains couldn't cope.

Remarkable things are thunder storms.

Geese were mobile in their droves yesterday.

Lovely clear skies this morning but its hot water in the bucket today, wee bit fresh.

 

[L/H White]

back down to 11 this morning, was fresh in the car

[Zico]

Lovely morning for it

Still in shorts to walk the dog but donning a hoodie

That said got drenched yesterday

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Lovely out.

Shorts back on.

 

[Traf]

[Spider]

Looses impact.

Plus, looking back through history, there have ways been large flooding events, so the continued inference to global warming doesn't necessarily hold. Plus it does a disservice to those who are working to produce genuine evidence and mitigation technologies. 

A rather important year for us, 1877, saw a flood in China that killed an estimated 930,000 souls. Just weather?

Aye. They had another one in the same area in the 1930s!

Don't forget the biggest one of all- Noah had it sussed.

I suspect the world was in far less of a position to deal with floods back then 

The thing to note is the number of floods goes up over time whilst the number of deaths down

Do they though?

We have better levels of reporting now, so perhaps we just hear of them more.

Interestingly, reading about it, the big flood to which I referred, was contributed to by the people living there.

 

I'd hazard a guess that post industrial revolution we, as a species, have played a part in many of the disasters. Either directly through poor water and land management, or indirectly through increasing atmospheric CO2.

well the number of reported floods is on an upwards trajectory since 1990

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1339730/number-of-flood-disasters-worldwide/

 

the number of deaths seems to be fairly static

 

perhaps the better demonstration of how we're now better prepared and equipped to deal with floods is the number of people impacted by them
