Outages, Flooding Follow Dolly in TX
Wisco
by Wisco  Today 2:29 PM   
 The piece goes on: Perry, who flew over the area Thursday with U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, cautioned residents not to rest easy just yet. "It appears that we have handled it as well as it can be handled. But it is far from over," Perry said, noting possible flooding over the next five days from runoff as the storm moves northward. Sen. Cornyn said Dolly should remind the federal government that it needs to fund levee improvements along the Rio Grande. "We're lucky Mother Nature didn't deal us a harsher blow," Cornyn said. That's the first time in a long time that I've agreed with John Cornyn.

Hurricane Dolly Bears Down on Texas
Wisco
by Wisco  7-23-2008    9
 Dolly is described as a "slow-moving" storm, meaning that there may be more damage than would normally be expected from a Category 2, mostly in the form of flooding. LiveScience.com : Flooding, which can result from both torrential rains and the ocean surf a storm can push ashore, is what officials in Texas were most concerned about after Dolly made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane at 9 am EDT on Wednesday. Residents of the Rio Grande Valley have been warned of potential severe flooding and possible levee breaks. The National Hurricane Center predicted that Dolly could drop a total of 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 centimeters) of rainfall in the next few days, with some isolated spots potentially getting soaked by up to 15 inches.

Iranian Trade With Iraq

 But since Saddam's ouster, there has been deluge of Iranian goods into the country, particularly in the strip from Baghdad to Basra, said anthropologist Hosham Dawod from the French national center for scientific research. "Some sources quote figures such as $8 billion," for the value of Iranian imports in 2008, he said, but added there were no official figures on import levels. 'Iranian products are not truly political tools' - shoppers in the Shiite district of Kadhimiyya in northwest Baghdad snatch up not only Iranian-made cookers, fridges, air conditioning units and generators, but also toys, rugs and medicines.

Green "permeable" pavement
egsnyder
by egsnyder  7-14-2008   
 Interesting item on "How Stuff Works" today. In the good old pre-pavement days, all that rainwater that now runs off roads, driveways, parking lots, etc. used to just soak into the ground. There is also a "how to" piece on Building Your Own Green Driveway included.... Building Your Own Green Driveway ============================ Are you a do-it-yourselfer with a green thumb? With the proper tools and know-how, you can make your own green driveway for around $1,200. First, grade the site and install a catch basin for drainage. Dig a bed and fill it with crushed gravel. Buy some plastic grass pavers (recycled, of course) and lay them down on your driveway base. Fill the pavers with concrete sand. Compact the pavers carefully and then roll down some sod and irrigate. In a few weeks, you'll have a grassy area strong enough to hold the weight of your car .

Flooding Spurs Ethanol Backlash

 But others remain strongly in support of biofuels. "Abandoning our commitment to ethanol and biofuels, as some would suggest we do, would do nothing to provide meaningful relief from high grain prices today or in the future," said Bob Dineen, president of the Renewable Fuels Association. "It would absolutely force the price of gas through the roof and require the import of more record-high foreign oil."

 Yesterday I clipped about visiting man-made disasters and today I came across this story about Chinese officials considering how to convert one of 34 'quake lakes' into a tourist destination. There are no specific details yet, but the idea is to draw visitors to a lake in Beichuan country, which was newly formed by earthquake-related flooding.

pkronfield
by pkronfield  6-25-2008    1
 Now the loony left is trying to appeal to conservatives with a security theme. Never mind that flood have been wiping out people since Noah built his ark. The ancient world is full of examples of thriving cities having been abandoned due to climate change - and this long before any industrialization or greenhouse gasses. Maybe the dinosaurs went extinct due to their all pervasive flatulence? I think this global warming hype is more of the same - liberal oral flatulence.

Flooding Puts Cedar Rapids, Much Of Iowa Under Water
merrie
by merrie  6-14-2008   
 The downtown library, with its 300,000 books, was shut down after workers relocated some of its collection from lower shelves to avoid the rising water. While Cedar Rapids was the worst hit, the entire state of Iowa was battered by bad weather and flooding. Gov. Chet Culver declared 83 of the state's 99 counties as disaster areas. In Des Moines, 100 miles to the southwest, officials issued a voluntary evacuation order for much of downtown and other areas bordering the Des Moines River. Mayor Frank Cownie said the evacuations in the state's capital were an attempt "to err on the side of citizens and residents." Despite the flooding and evacuations, Iowa authorities reported no fatalities or serious injuries linked to the weather woes.
