Now that my right eye is becoming clearer, I am certain that I can actually see CO2.  If you can see CO2, you need to have that cataract checked again!! I will make an appointment with Greta right away ...... |

I have started a grand journey through Marusek's "A Chronological History of Early Weather Events" from 1783 at the start of SC4 through the entire Dalton Minimum. Glad that I didn't experience the winter of 1783-84, particularly in their conditions. Laki, 1783-1784 may have been responsible for parts of this. Greta should be forced to read it.  Read page 848 for reports of incredable summer heat. Not the first time German villages have washed away. Heavy rains on an immense snowpack can do a job also. During the spring of 1785, there was great distress in Germany from inundations [floods]. A great part of the town of Writzen [Wriezen] on the Oder [River], together with 100 villages and farms, were inundated. The sleine [sluice] near New Gliezen, and the dikes above Custrim [Küstrin, now Kostrzyn nad Odrą, Poland], were both broken down and torrents of floodwater that issued were irresistible. Many of the strongest edifices [homes/buildings] were carried away, with whole families within. Both sheep and cattle without number perished. |

OK. I'll quit complaining about our piddling little 11 inches in June,  Although it's still almost 3x normal. |

Some years ago I was in the Netherlands and they were talking about major rainfall events and talking 50mm/day.
Firstly they are largely at sea-level and much of the water there needs to be managed around and even pumped, we in NZ like MB etc get rain seen it in Texas rain is discussed in feet.
At our beach place we get the tails of tropical cyclones we have had half a dozen 300mm events in a day just in the last decade.
If you have ever experienced rates of 2 inches per hour its stunning slopping lawn is a river and even the sea sort of comes up. You do have a feeling of doom through rain noise and thunder often at night.
Our catchment is 100 slopping acres imagine a massive continental catchment. Very interesting.
there is a common feature with these storms and that is the management of dams when are they storage and when are they flood protection there looks to be a dire need for models.

Terrain plays a huge role as a force multiplier. Small, harmless creeks fed by mountain drainage can become roaring bulldozers with little warning. All the surface area of the terrain funneling it’s water into a tiny trough. Trees, bridges, roads and homes erased by an inland tsunami. |

I think I recall someone in the town mentioning some railroad cars were transporting silver across one of the nearby lakes and the barges hauling the cars went down in a storm.

All the surface area of the terrain funneling it’s water into a tiny trough. Trees, bridges, roads and homes erased by an inland tsunami. Good. vivid description. The ancient folk knew the terrain well. Tradeoff of easy access to water, mechanical power and transport weighed as a tradeoff ... as every few decades a generation got washed away. The Lords built on the high points as they had plenty of labor to carry their water (literally) where wells were inconvenient. There were Gods to be appeased between events and explanations to be developed for the breakdown of their favors. Carbon exhaust serves that role today. The peasants must cut down on their emissions to please the Gods. When they get tired and angry, the priests and societal chain will be sacrificed to the Gods (mob). Pangloss's theory will thus come full circle ... and we will revert to the best of all possible Worlds. In between, insurance agents will be busy, prices will rise, and new bosses will show up. |

Photo from a trip to South Australia some years back ...... the rationale behind their more recent power supply decisions is steeped in watertime?  |
