Torrential rains brought a new round of flooding to the Southwest on Monday, washing away roads and prompting fresh evacuations and anguish in a region still reeling from floods a week earlier.
The damage sprawled across the high desert and mountains of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, a vast area where some towns received twice as much rain in a single day as they typically get during the entire month of November.
ngl, I came here for the thumbnail:
Is this going to prompt a new round of climate change denialism? “There’s always been flooding, pull yourself up by your bootstraps” kinda bs?
Good thing extreme weather has no effect at all on the economy. 😎
What do you mean no effect? All the rebuilding of buildings and lives will be great for the GDP!
I always ignore the fact that the Orphan Crushing Machine is, in-fact, an Orphan Crushing Machine. How silly of me!
Houses all be like “Oh look! A penny!”
“This is the sixth time that river has taken our house and we just keep rebuilding it…”
