WAVERLY, TENN. -- At least 22 people were killed and rescue crews searched desperately Sunday amid shattered homes and tangled debris for dozens of people still missing after record-breaking rain sent floodwaters surging through Middle Tennessee.

Saturday's flooding in rural areas took out roads, cellphone towers and telephone lines, leaving families uncertain about whether their loved ones survived the unprecedented deluge.
Emergency workers were searching door to door, said Kristi Brown, a coordinator for health and safety supervisor with Humphreys County Schools.

Many of the missing live in the neighborhoods where the water rose the fastest, said Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis, who confirmed the 22 fatalities in his county.

Climate change has already started. Humanity will destroy Mother Nature.

Mother Nature will be fine. The earth has endured cataclysmic events over thousands of years - some may have taken just as long to recover. Humanity though, is a lost case.

It's just like alcohol production: a tiny bit of yeast is introduced to a solution of simple sugars. The yeast then gobbles up the sugars, squirts out a little bit of alcohol and reproduces. Now there's more yeast cells, and they keep on eating and reproducing. They're just dumb cells so as long as conditions are good, they keep on doing it. (sound familiar?)

Unfortunately the alcohol is poisonous to them and eventually once it reaches 10-15%, the alcohol kills them off. Too bad the human race, by and large, is no better than yeast in a bottle.

WOW....entente historique N.YORK--QUÉBEC.... Importante nouvelle pour l'économie québécoise et le Québec . La Gouverneure de l'État de New-York , Kathy Hochul, choisit HYDRO-QUÉBEC comme fournisseur d'énergie VERTE pour les 25 prochaines années..

c'est wow en ta .. ..et la beauté construction d'une ligne de 545 kms en partie SOUS-MARINE. Ce sont des dizaines de milliards verts de revenus dans notre caisse....Le Québec---signe des temps--va devenir la super puissance énergétique du Canada.

Et bravo à la Gouverneure Hochul d'avoir résister au puissant hobby pétrolier.

Serait bien et grand temps maintenant que l'Ontario et le N.Brunswick fassent de même...lol

Quand même paradoxal qu'un pays comme le Canada ---le plus libre échangiste au monde--qui fait des affaires avec plus de 80 pays....maintiennent encore des barrières tarifaires inter-provinciales....et hésitent à faire des affaires ensemble pour des raisons purement

politiques et de repli sur soi.....un non-sens.....my 2 cents.

If you have any friends in New York, ask them what happened to the lobsters from Long Island sound. 2 decades ago, the catch used to number in the millions. But in the last few years, it's dropped off to zero. Why? Lobsters are extremely sensitive to water temperature - they cannot live in waters warmer than 20C. Climate change raised the average temperature of the sound, pushing them out of their habitat.

First the lobsters in New York, now the crabs in the Bering Sea:

Alaska snow crab harvest slashed by nearly 90% after population crash in a warming Bering Sea

At a meeting of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, crabbers called for additional restrictions in other harvests.

And not too long ago, the cod in the same region:

Bering Sea cod season has potential to be shortest ever

The trawling season for Pacific cod in the Bering Sea begins 20 January, although the season will likely draw to a close earlier usual.
