The reports say more rain in Charlotte than Florence.
Ummm, did I leave you out? I thought you still lived in Arizona.




Stay safe, Skoop!
Yes, I do but I work for a company whose data center is in Greensboro, NC.

Our monsoon season ended earlier in the week. We had only two cars that I know of wind up in the washes this year.

Tell that to FEMA.

What part of "will impact much of the East Coast this weekend" do you not understand? I was talking about the then current storm.
Because there actually was training from Joaquin earlier, and you're a condescending dork in your previous comment.
Well, then

We ended up with 17 inches of rain from 9/30 to 10/5. The most in a day 6.5. It's a mess but we can count ourselves lucky here.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I'm sure my old home in Blythewood (up I-77 from Columbia) had so much water in the crawl space that the sump pump couldn't handle it. :(
