In the past, we were often informed of significant or record-breaking weather events that occurred on that specific date. Some of the events were tragic while many were simply nostalgic.
In the present, severe weather seems to occur on a daily basis. Following recent, deadly heat across most of the country, worsened by ongoing wildfires throughout the drought-plagued West, excessive rain has produced severe flooding throughout the Texas Hill Country over the past 24 hours. No doubt, other sites of flash flooding will be reported across the South as warm, humid air flows northward from the Gulf of Mexico. While a strong El Niño and copious African dust have reduced tropical development in the Atlantic Basin to date, we are yet early in the Hurricane Season.
As our climate continues to warm, we will be watching severe Weather History unfold on a daily basis, throughout our country and across the globe. Lead by an Administration that denies the reality of global warming, we will be unprepared for the onslaught, leading to unnecessary deaths and potential economic catastrophe. Vote Democratic in November!
