Oh, hey. Folks in the path of this soon-stalling monsoon maker might want to stay home tomorrow. I tried driving to Compaq in what was then called a 100-year flood. I barely got going when the freeway stalled. I took an offramp, and thought I'd check a frontage road that ran parallel to it. At an overpass, water sufficient to float cars was pooling. I gave up, called into work, and was fortunate to make it back home. A couple of blocks from my house, people were using rowboats to move around.
This sounds like one of those events is brewing for Friday. Stay weather aware! Don't get caught in traffic.

#NativeAmericaCalling: What the #Texas #FlashFloods teach us about #EmergencyPreparedness
Monday, July 14, 2025
"Earlier this year, after numerous warnings by inspectors, a levee in Oregon gave way, damaging more than 950 homes, including those of the #BurnsPaiute Tribe. And on the #NavajoNation, notification was key to helping hundreds of residents evacuate as the #OakRidgeFire consumed more than 11,000 acres.
"Tune into Native America Calling to hear about those and emergency plans by some other tribes aimed at keeping threats from becoming human tragedies."

2 dead in #NewJersey after #floodwaters carry away vehicle during #HeavyRains that hit #NortheasternUS
By SUSAN HAIGH, JENNIFER PELTZ and JENNIFER PELITZ
Updated 2:56 PM EDT, July 15, 2025NEW YORK (AP) — "Two people in New Jersey were killed after their vehicle was swept up in floodwaters during a storm that moved across the U.S. Northeast overnight, authorities said Tuesday.
"Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, noted the deaths occurred in the northern New Jersey city of Plainfield, where there were two storm-related deaths July 3. A third person was killed in North Plainfield during that previous storm.
" 'We’re not unique, but we’re in one of these sort of high humidity, high temperature, high storm intensity patterns right now,' Murphy told reporters after touring storm damage in Berkeley Heights. 'Everybody needs to stay alert.'
"The names of the two latest victims were not immediately released Tuesday. Local officials said the vehicle they were riding in was swept into a brook during the height of the storm.
" 'Emergency personnel responded quickly, but tragically, both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene,' according to a statement the city posted online.
"The heavy rains also caused #FlashFloods in #NewYork and south-central #Pennsylvania on Monday night into early Tuesday, prompting road closures and snarling some service on the #NewYorkCitySubway.
"It was the second-highest one-hour rainfall ever recorded in #CentralPark at more than 2 inches (5 centimeters), surpassed only by the remnants of Hurricane Ida in 2021, according to local officials.
Flooding in the New York City subway
"Viral videos posted online showed water flooding down into one Manhattan subway station, submerging the platform while passengers inside a train watched on.
"Janno Lieber, chair and CEO of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, told ABC 7 in New York the city’s sewer system got overwhelmed by the rain and backed up into the subway tunnels and to the stations. In several cases, he said, the backup 'popped a manhole,' creating the dramatic 'geyser' seen in some videos.
" 'What happened last night is something that is, you know, a reality in our system,' he told the TV station, noting the backup happens when more than 1 3/4 inches of rain falls in an hour. 'We’ve been working with the city of New York to try to get them to increase the capacity of the system at these key locations.'
"City officials said their venerable sewer system worked as well as it could, but it simply was not built to handle that much rain.
" 'Imagine putting a two-liter bottle of water into a one-liter bottle. Some of it’s going to spill,' Environmental Protection Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala said at a virtual news briefing Tuesday.
"Lieber said full service was restored to the subway, as well as commuter rails, after hundreds of people worked overnight to restore operations.
"#Flooding has proven to be a stubborn problem for New York’s subway system, despite years and billions of dollars’ worth of efforts to waterproof them.
"#SuperstormSandy in 2012 prompted years of subway repairs and flood-fighting ideas, and some have been put into practice. In some places, transit officials have installed or are installing storm barriers at subway station entrances, seals beneath subway air vents and curbs to raise the vents and entrances above sidewalk level.
"Meanwhile, summer thunderstorms and the remains of hurricanes have repeatedly flooded parts of the subway system anew. In 2021, the remnants of #HurricaneIda killed more than a dozen New York City residents, largely in basement apartments, and sent water cascading again into subways, renewing attention to #resiliency proposals.
The storm’s effects in New Jersey and #Pennsylvania
"The storm prompted multiple water rescues in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where streets and basements flooded after roughly 7 inches (18 centimeters) of rain fell. Some roads remained closed in parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey on Tuesday. Murphy said the pavement buckled in some locations and state and local officials were assessing the level of damage in several counties, noting the White House had reached out to his office.
"A major east-to-west highway in New Jersey was closed to make emergency repairs while dozens of flights were delayed or canceled at area airports Tuesday.
"Most flash flood watches and warnings had expired in parts of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania as the rain moved on.
"In one flooded North Plainfield neighborhood, a house caught on fire and collapsed amid the storm. Murphy said there was an explosion at the house but the family was not home and there were no injuries. The cause was under investigation."

I heard on the news that it was a years' worth of rain!!!
At least 13 killed, 20 children missing in #Texas #floods
The state received several months worth of precipitation in a few hours, according to officials, leading to dangerous #FlashFloods
by Nadine Yousif, BBC News
July 4, 2025"Thirteen people have died in Kerr County in the US state of Texas, according to authorities, after #SevereWeather and flooding hit parts of the state.
"More people are unaccounted for, including at a summer camp where Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick confirmed around 20 children are missing.
" 'Within 45 minutes, the #GuadalupeRiver rose 26 feet and it was a destructive flood - taking property and sadly lives,' he said in a news conference on Friday.
"He read out a statement from all-girls Camp Mystic, where about 750 children were attending, saying there had been a 'catastrophic level' of flooding, and informed parents that if they have not been contacted, their child is accounted for."

Risk rises for #mudslides around #LACounty fire zones; prepare for worst-case scenario, officials warn
Alene Tchekmedyian, Rong-Gong Lin II, Melody Gutierrez, LA Times
January 26, 2025"With more rain on the way, officials warned Sunday of an increasing risk of mudslides in #LosAngelesCounty's burn areas, with a 10% to 20% chance of significant #FlashFlooding and #DebrisFlows capable of damaging roads and homes in and around areas devastated by #wildfires.
"'This is the worst-case scenario to prepare for,' said Kristan Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
"'We do have increasing concern for the #BurnScars,' Lund said. The charred footprint of the Eaton fire, which blackened more than 14,000 acres, is the most worrisome. 'These #FlashFloods and these debris flows could happen in and near or below these burn scars.'
"A #FloodWatch took effect at 10 a.m. Sunday and was set to continue through 4 p.m. Monday for the burned areas of the #EatonFire in the #Altadena and #Pasadena areas; the #PalisadesFire and #FranklinFires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas; the Hughes fire around Lake Castaic; and the Bridge fire in the San Gabriel Mountains west and southwest of Wrightwood. The flood watch started six hours earlier than originally anticipated as rain began falling steadily around Los Angeles."

#FlashFloods May Support One of the World’s Rarest Fish https://eos.org/articles/flash-floods-may-support-one-of-the-worlds-rarest-fish
"Only a few hundred #DevilsHolePupfish live in an isolated pool in the #desert, where occasional floodwaters roil their habitat... The #fish have a tangled relationship with the sediment that #floods add to their natural fishbowl... Floods disturb the ecosystem in the short term but could generate a greater food source for the #pupfish in the long run."
