Flood Statistics since the beginning of 2011

A group of more than 100 scientists and experts say in a new report that California faces the risk of a massive "superstorm" that could flood a quarter of the state's homes and cause $300 billion to $400 billion in damage. Researchers point out that the potential scale of destruction in this storm scenario is four or five times the amount of damage that could be wrought by a major earthquake.
It sounds like the plot of an apocalyptic action movie, but scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey warned federal and state emergency officials that California's geological history shows such "superstorms" have happened in the past, and should be added to the long list of natural disasters to worry about in the Golden State.
The threat of a cataclysmic California storm has been dormant for the past 150 years. Geological Survey director Marcia K. McNutt told the New York Times that a 300-mile stretch of the Central Valley was inundated from 1861-62. The floods were so bad that the state capital had to be moved to San Francisco, and Governor Leland Stanford had to take a rowboat to his own inauguration, the report notes. Even larger storms happened in past centuries, over the dates 212, 440, 603, 1029, 1418, and 1605, according to geological evidence.
The risk is gathering momentum now, scientists say, due to rising temperatures in the atmosphere, which has generally made weather patterns more volatile.
The scientists built a model that showed a storm could last for more than 40 days and dump 10 feet of water on the state. The storm would be goaded on by an "atmospheric river" that would move water "at the same rate as 50 Mississippis discharging water into the Gulf of Mexico," according to the AP. Winds could reach 125 miles per hour, and landslides could compound the damage, the report notes.
Such a superstorm is hypothetical but not improbable, climate researchers warn. "We think this event happens once every 100 or 200 years or so, which puts it in the same category as our big San Andreas earthquakes," Geological Survey scientist Lucy Jones said in a press release.
Federal and state emergency management officials convened a conference about emergency preparations for possible superstorms last week. You can read the whole report here.

Another idea we should be paying more attention to, is the path our solar system takes through the galaxy.

We travel in a Big circle, and obviously our ancestors had some knowledge about this. So, I would guess to say, that once we reach a certain point in the circle again, (to an even degree or greater) we will witness the same astronomical and earthly events they lived through and recorded.

Not a whole lot we can do about such things on a scale that large. But, it definitely makes you think of how this construct we call the universe can impact the structure of this rock we live on.

the admissions have been publicized and they have been protested against. society just won't wake up. at this point all you can do is, fill as many clips as you can, stock as many cans as you can, and keep a female with you for re-population.

that is exactly what i think man, it is all about the reducing of the world population :think:

~Damn- near global floods as it seems to be flooding the southern hemisphere.
Any additions?

yep diseases and the wars

Living on the earth is fucking dangerous.

take it easy man you forget the superstorm :flop:
