Climate catastrophe coming anyone?

We may be in an oven here in Reno, with canvassers out 6 hours a day in 100 degree heat. But at least we're not also in a flood. This was the strip and casinoland in Las Vegas last evening.

Turn your volume up for the full effect.

Las Vegas is under water!  Severe thunderstorms moved through Las Vegas Thursday night causing major flooding in several areas.

Warming makes weather just so much more radical. Monsoon rains in the desert ...

My friend moved to northern Arizona in 2019. The monsoon there, in the Prescott area specifically, is generally a moderate rainfall.

Hi Brandon: those of us stuck on the mainland don't usually think of ourselves as having a monsoon. Maybe a rainy season as in Prescott. But Las Vegas is desert -- almost no precipitation.
