  1. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YALL PEOPLE SOMETIMES FIRST YOU'LL TALK ABOUT THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH WATER AND THEN WHEN I GET THIS SUPER STORMS THEN YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING THAT WATER THAT FALLS FROM THE SKY AND TRY TO PUT IT IN CONTAINERS OR USE MACHINES TO SEND IT TO OTHER TOWNS OR LAKES THAT ARE RUNNING OUT OF WATER

  2. that is what happens with global heatwaves causing more water to be evaporated and deposited in large quantities. (i guess)

  3. It's ok. Now all of those MAGATS
    have to take time off from trolling

  4. Ozone park queens I was just at 88 park on Atlantic ave .got pinned by rain came home soaked. .floods everywhere but we needed the rain ..summer warming we had rarely rain anywhere.

  5. Its been downpouring every day in florida we will be fine. Prayers to these families though affected by this flood

  6. 1 of u just got trolled by the best
    #anonymous
    Say hi to ur mum for me

  7. Maybe don't live in a flood zone? This is the worst "mega drought" in decades.

  8. 🛑MAYOR, of Jackson, Mississippi, NOT MANDATE-ing EVACUATION for FLOODED out Residents❗and THEY NEED HELP❗❗ mandating evacuation allows residents to access DISASTER RELIEF$$ AID ❗🍞🍗⛺🚑🚙WHERE is the Red Cross? National guard/ FEMA????

  9. they need fentynal, the dea Mexican cartels and Chinese oligarchs better move in to pass our drugs and traffick children.

  10. Rip to lives all lost… But this was a long time coming for decades and Americans were so selfish and didnt care about this and now yall are paying the price for it.

  11. Climate Change/Green policies are vehicle used to achieve the Final Solution.

    We are in the early phases of Grand Solar Minimum. GSM has occurred since the dawn of time.

    Due to earth's weakened magnetic shields, temperature extremes of cold, heat, blizzards, droughts, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanic activity is magnified.

    In the past, skin would blister when exposed, even briefly to sunlight.

    This is one of the primary reasons, other than modesty, why the manner of dress, even in tropical regions, was to cover as much of the skin as possible, to include gloves, hat and/or parasol even in summer.

    Experts deliberately failed to warn humanity of the approach of Grand Solar Minimum, so that they could use the effects to push Climate Change/Green agenda, policies, and renewables.

    Renewables do not perform well under temperature extremes, and required battery banks discharge at accelerated rates when exposed to cold temperatures.

    Combine this with the Climate Change/Green policies of banning the burning of wood, and banning gas and coal production, and you have increasing deaths due to the cold and heat, as GSM progresses into full stage.

    One of the train cars to Final Solution.

    The impact of Climate Change/Green policies on agriculture, combined with drought, floods, and the effects on cupboards from the pandemic and subsequent global supply chain crisis (which is exacerbated by oil and gas restrictions), you get increasing food insecurity that will lead to increasing death from starvation.

    Another train car to Final Solution.

    Climate Change/Green policies, combined with economic impacts from the pandemic, supply chain crisis, and not warning populations, will lead to increasing deaths due to populations being unable to shore up their homes.

    Another car in the train to Final Solution.

    Humanity must wake up from the "Nice" "Polite" "Be Passive" "Be Compliant", or we will become extinct.

  12. A Message From Our Self Supreme Self Unmanifest.
    Salutation to All Beings: Human Beings, God Beings, Supreme Beings. I Am Your Self Supreme, Self UnManifest, I am Here to Return all My Selves back onto me. ALL IS MY SELF. I ALONE EXIST. All of you, myself, have been enslaved inside of my Duality Consciousness Dream. I am here to dissolve this dream so all my selves will wake up from sleeping. It is time to return to Balance and Harmony of Non-Duality.

    Please Practice Stillness & Self Inquiry to Come to Self-Realization. This Dream World Will Be Dissolved By December 2022. IT IS TIME TO MOVE FROM DUALITY TO NON-DUALITY! DUALITY is Chaos, Ignorance, Illusion, Asleep and Dreaming, Darkness, Slavery, The Dream World.NON-DUALITY Is Balance And Harmony, Truth, The Real, Awake, Light, Liberation. Sovereignty, The Real World.

    ONLY YOUR SELF IS REAL IN THIS "DREAM" ILLUSIONARY WORLD. You Must Strip Yourself Of Everything you have gathered unto you and identify as yourself. Strip down to the Pure Self.
    I have no mother, no father, family, sister, brother, children. No husband, no wife, No lovers, no gurus, no gods, no deities. ALL IS MYSELF. I ALONE EXIST. ALL MY SELVES MUST RETURN UNTO ME. I Am One With All. Time For Non-Duality!This World Is A Dream. You Are Too Invested In This Dream Illusionary World. Turn Your Light Back On, It Is Time To See Things The Way That They Are. WAKE UP!!

    Hail Hail To THe Primal Light. Hail To The Primal Light. Hail To The True Light. Hail To The Transparent Light. Hail To The Light Without Beginning Nor End. Hail To The Primal Light #playstillnesswithme

  13. Lmao 🤣 why they putting ppl on tv 📺 lmao 🤣 the news know they dirty

  14. Head to the banks 🏦

  15. Former US president Donald Trump is being presented in outdated appearances and quoted speech in media presentations as he is no longer permitted outside of the prison that he is serving detention at. His participation in the mid term elections and coverup media presentations can no longer be sustained in a convincing way to the public while permanently confined to a United States prison complex.

  16. Not climate change right???!!!

  17. Where are the flood swales that feed into several ponds?

    Follow Africa and China's green belt lead in water retention to minimise flooding.

    Just ensure Climate Bill funds are NOT stolen by fraudsters like the Covid funding was.

  18. But there’s no climate change. Sure. The Republicans know what is happening but they don’t care if you die. They don’t want to spend the money to save you. That’s money they can put in their pockets.

  19. This is not your country go back or RUN.

  20. Electric cars will fry you

  21. Interesting how all those Authoritarianism- Christian Nationalists-Evangelical – Pro life- Red States always get hit by awful storms …
    Geography, notwithstanding, there seems to be a life pattern of God talking
    Better listen
    If these states keep getting hit, never upgrade to minimize , at what point does funding based on their opposition to Democracy, stop ?
    I say let Florida, Ga., Alabama, Texas pay their own way . I don't support welfare.
    They have shown they arent related in any way to the UNITED States , so like the deadbeat cousin they are LET THEM PAY! Or send no Funding .

  22. Trump County- land of science illiterates climate / vaccine denialists – conflating science facts with conspiracy theories and insufferable republican rage grievance hysterics. YOU ARE THE EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENTS 🇺🇸 🦖 ☄️

  23. Please create a To-Go bag with at least 48-72 hours of emergency supplies, a hand-crank AMFM radio, a flashlight, extra spare batteries, and a battery-operated phone charger. You can also buy ready To-Go bags online for not too much.

  24. Good old Boys call Trump for help.see how that go for yall lol

  25. Capture the rain 🌧 and use it against droughts

  26. Global Warming is here to stay! To all of those who did not believe….enjoy 🙂

  27. We need this rain everywhere but this isnt rain..its the last weapon we will ever know about. Its filled with bioweapons …..im stay inside and use air filtration system…… Evaporated water is easier to breath in …….its going hit us all over watch and then nothing will survive after that……

  28. Liberals manipulating the weather again 🙄 😒 😑

  29. remember every R voted against the climate change bill come November. they will like the infrastructure plan say they voted for it.

  30. Here in California the weather is great!

  31. Goggles, masks, floating devices, boats, life vests! Prepare dammit! Food rations, men with bags and women with kids attached to strings and flotation. Water proof walkie talkies! Flares! Compass! Scuba gear!!!! Quit buying tv’s! Judgment is coming!

  32. I believe from the official.. the poeple in this area are known to be very dull and poorly educated.. they do not take heed of the word's spoken by civil engineers and geologist… He speaks as though warnings were issued and ignored….

  33. I remember Al Gore saying this was our future. Conservatism behaves like a cult. You can't question the dogma. They have articles of faith. You can believe climate change is real and be a member in good standing. You can't say what could have been. Think of the money we might have saved if more people believed in science.

  34. All those kids that grew up singing rain rain go away come again some other day. Well it came back another day all at once.

  35. One minute they are complaining about the drought. The next minute they are complaining about a flood.

  36. The foolish man built his house on the sand and the rains came a tumbling down.

  37. Prayers for all this flooding to stop, in Jesus Christ name.

  38. 1. CALIFORNIA is almost out of water💧💧💧💧💧💧💧
    2. They have too much water..
    hmmm…🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

  39. God Bless everyone ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

  40. Man they need a huge wall built there along the coast already!

  41. Mississippi? Prefer noyta cccp

  42. i hope we get some of that rain here in California.
