Flooding in odd places

While strange weather phenomena has slipped into the record books since someone bothered to start keeping the stats, the randomness of the weather of late has certainly been of apocolyptic regularity.

Someone higher than us is keeping stats and they aren't playing favorites anymore.

There are towns flooded, others are burned and yet others disappear in hostile winds like so many houses of cards before a breeze. New Orleans will never recover. It is a task that cannot be completed because the level of splintering amid the population is simply to great to put back together again.

The might of Mother Nature rival any wars ever conceived or fought.

The deserts have been flooded and the nation's breadbasket baked in the relentless summer suns that have banished the needed rain clouds from view.

Maybe it's time to pay attention and get our personal houses in order - before they are blown or washed away entirely.
