I run the DQ there with my husband. We just got into the store today. We measured inside. There was 5 foot 5 inches of water inside.

So sorry, I hope you guys recover, it’s so hard for everyone I can’t imagine what you’ve lost.

hard to keep head buried in sand when a flood ruins your life aha!

[@catamountmpls]

'But experts note that a major reason for such extreme weather events is climate change, since warmer air can hold more water, which then leads to heavier rainfall and floods in some areas.'

[@bradg3906]

If there is a drought, its climate change. Hot weather - climate change, cold weather - climate change. If there is a flood its sure to be climate change. Abnormally low number of tornadoes - must be climate change, high number also climate change. Shoo troll. Edit - Oh, nevermind. Just a bot.
