Wonk Room » Global Boiling: Fay’s Floods Are A Wake Up Call
Note:
FTP: Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) has described Tropical Storm Fay as a “serious, catastrophic flooding event,” as it dumps “historic levels of rain with totals in excess of 20 inches already” in Brevard County. Fay is tracking over the entire state of Florida, devastating crops and causing hundreds of millions of dollars of damage.~~~~~~~~~Um, how many wakeup calls do we need? Anyone with a monsoon, tsunami, tornado, flood, etc. out there to further convince?
