Musing on the possibility of yet another natural disaster in Eastern Iowa this summer...
Be sure and confuse your local location, within your eyeshot ,weather as being the totality of the entire world. Hey, if the ancients can do it, so can you.
But, please, don't build a wooden boat, and after it is all over, don't make it a family affair. And don't ignore The Epic Of Gilgamesh.
Just being silly. In all seriousness, climate change is making events like this more frequent. Even outside hurricanes here where I live, our tropical and general thunder storms cause flooding in certain areas, but I can tell you, I have been more scared of the thunderstorms than the hurricanes.
