12. I see. I saw & read about Vermont. I always thought upstate NY was Adirondacks and Catskills.

The main thing is to harden up electrical, sewage & drainage, gas and transportation infrastructure, so that people can be sheltered and/or mobile when needed.

I'm glad our people are the adults. It's bad enough we have deniers and mental cripples to drag around when we need progress in mitigating effects of cascading climate events.

Flooding in Porto Alegre on 5 May ancianita May 2024 #4

Yikes! We have flooding here in New York as well, but fortunately nothing like this! Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #5

The fact that you're having flooding at all means that New York is getting "like this." ancianita May 2024 #6

Yikes! And it's not just in the City, but more frequently up North. There are flood warnings all the time. Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #8

Coastal flooding will happen sooner than predicted. ancianita May 2024 #13

Yes, this. People should be proactive not just sit in denial. Brenda May 2024 #16

Water damage, landslide damage, along with heavy rainstorms, cause the mostly irreparable damage. ancianita May 2024 #7

Thanks! And, as I said, it's not just near the Coast, but Northern New York frequently gets flood warnings. Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #9

I'm so sorry that's happening. La Nina will also bring a lot more rain this summer. ancianita May 2024 #10

Well, I'm talking about the more rural Northern part of the state. Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #11

Thanks for the map. All the way to Maine and oh look California. Brenda May 2024 #17

I think we'll see clear, hard, obvious and unavoidable evidence worldwide by 2030. Non-believers will be as rare as TeamProg May 2024 #14
