Climate change is a hoax. Nothing to see here folks… move along.
CHENGANNUR, India (AP) — Some 800,000 people have been displaced and over 350 have died in the worst flooding in a century in southern India’s Kerala state, officials said Sunday, as rescuers searched for people stranded in the worst-affected areas.
The downpours that started Aug. 8 have triggered floods and landslides and caused homes and bridges to collapse across Kerala, a picturesque state known for its quiet tropical backwaters and beautiful beaches.
Thousands of rescuers were continuing efforts to reach out to stranded people and get relief supplies to isolated areas by hundreds of boats and nearly two dozen helicopters, said P.H. Kurian, a top disaster management official in Kerala. He said weather conditions had improved considerably and expected the nearly 10,000 people still stranded to be rescued by Monday.
An estimated 800,000 people have taken shelter in some 4,000 relief camps across Kerala, Kurian said.
Weather officials have predicted more rains across the state through Monday morning.
961,939 live in Delaware. Imagine 83% of us being displaced by a flood.
All of New Castle, all of Kent and 50% of Sussex… all displaced. On the move.
I’m 11 Ft above sea level and in a high spot. DE has the lowest mean elevation of any state..
50% of Sussex left, and the rest gone. Sounds great, good bye!
FWIW – I left that rake lying there knowing some idiot would step on it.
During perigean spring tides and heavy storms, Rehoboth Bay comes up into my back yard. My flood zone is AE at 3 ft above sea level.
I would have thought that to get 11 feet above sea level, you would have to have a tree house.
