June 1, 2015 – Environment
Weather once again has been major news. US News & World Report’s May 29, 2015 headline read,
“From rainy Texas to scorching India, this has been a month of strange weather around the world”
On May 30, 2015, in the USA official flood warnings were issued or extended for parts of Texas plus Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Rain Opened Sinkholes on Colorado Streets
With some alerts, the National Weather Service added,
“This flood warning is a result of increased flows from the Missouri river and heavy rainfall overnight …”
The river is one of the two longest in America. The other is the Mississippi. The Missouri river begins in Montana, which shares a border with Canada, and winds its way over 2,300 miles south. Then the Missouri waters merge with the Mississippi.
Records Shattered
According to the U.S. Department Of Agriculture,
“The latest round of heavy rain pushed Oklahoma to its wettest month on record based on preliminary data, supplanting October 1941.”
The US News & World Report article quoted Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis,
“Mother Nature keeps throwing us crazy stuff,” … “It’s just been one thing after another.”
Scientists have been searching for plausible scientific explanations; but in secular circles, as one would expect, a possible connection to ungodly human behavior is never explored.
