Hershey Flooding

[WTSHNN]

I'm hearing that the Hershey area got slammed with rain and is having some terrible flooding.

Hope everyone out there is ok!

I too hope all in flood areas are well!! I hear Hershey park is under water or was. The park zoo lost two animals to the fast rising water, some roadways around the park are severely buckled. The traffic control last year was a nightmare, the morons were letting the right lane turn left into the parkinglots ahead of and in front of the cars in the left turn lane, causing tremendous bumper to bumper issues for hours. Only took an hour to get from frederick to within 3 miles and two more hours to make it to park. This should prove to be interesting to say the least. Those attending the daily parking, leave damn early and take a Valium, it may be ugly!!!!!!!

Oh, just heard they are to open all 25 floodgates near the park, don't know it it makes things better or worse......

We have had about 5 inches this week, a lot but nowhere near the amount of some. Ready for it to stop!!!!

I understand the Hershey Sewage Treatment Plant is under the flood which is a big EPA concern.

[Steve Wastler]

For those who still don't believe global warming is changing the climate and weather patterns need to get with the program. These weather events especially, have been progressively worse every year. Bad shit!!!

[Fred K-OR]

Good old rainy Oregon is having temps in the 90's! Kind of look forward to rain again.

[Roadster62]

The AACA Forum has some vedios of the flood water around the show area, the HAMB has first hand reports. That Treatment Plant had a 24 Million dollar upgrade not long ago, all under water now.

Ship all the water you got to us in Texas we need it bad. Damn your wet and we are burning up here and have thousands of acres on fire now. Damn the luck!

I'm not going to get into the science of this but I believe the rain is the cause of a tropical storm.....which have been going on for thousands of years.....its called nature. It is terribly unfortunate and I hope everyone is safe. These natural disasters happpen and as people we will combine our efforts and get through these though times, stonger and better than before.

Yes it was from a tropical storm , but is all related to climate change.....

[edzaha]

The climate has been going through cycles for millions of years, ( heard of the ice age? It was in our science books) and will continue to do so, and there is nothing that man can do to change it.

[Steve Wastler]

Sure there is, deplete the ozone layer....That is what will be in the futures history books, and they will wonder why we were so close minded....

Catastrophies have always happened, and they always will, through out all of history and there's not a thing man can do about it. It's all in God's hands.

Pardon me while I go fire up the Model A and try to leave me a big ole 'carbon footprint' over Illinois. (Don't you just love those catchy phrases who thinks this stuff up??)

LOL! I love it! Keep on driving that model A Jeff!

Too bad we can't reverse "the Big Inch" and pipe Texas some water.

[Steve Wastler]

Funny thing, never meant to hijack the thread, and I'm not 'freaking out', but it makes no difference when I'm wrong with G.W. But is sure as heck does when the rest of you are.

There may be little doubt that we might be warming be up. However, I read where the temperature of all the planets in the solar system are up. Personally I think it's just Al Gore's rising star. A way to keep his name in front of the public. The Earth has never been in "Stasis", our climate has always been changing. From cold to warm and a back again. We had the good luck to grow up in a short period when the climate was fairly stable and we think it should always be that way.

Keep drinking the Kool-aid

[Steve Wastler]

Given the things mankind has done to the planet in say the last 100 years, anything is plausible and has nothing to do with Anyones Kool aid. I am also glad you can see the future and be so sure of yourself....

[Steve Wastler]

Oh, and who the hell is Al Gore??

[Big John]

The car show and big swap meet isnt till oct....Course it will mostly rain anyhow at some point in keeping with tradition...Big John....

Yeah, it's a good thing you aren't going into the science of this, because it's heat that causes a tropical storm. Heat is the cause of all movement in the atmosphere (with the exception of the movement caused by the earth rotating inside the atmosphere). If you have a lot of rain, it's because there's a lot of water vapor in the atmosphere. If you have a lot of water vapor in the atmosphere, it got there because of evaporation, which it caused by heat. No heat, no evaporation, no water vapor, no rain. Also, the more heat, the more so and so and so. This works for any precipitation, even snow or ice (although cats and dogs may be an exception). No heat, no precipitation. It also works for wind, even blasts of 30 degrees below zero and coming in at 60 mph were caused by heat somewhere else. Most people don't know or understand any of this super basic stuff. Too bad because it's gonna kill their grandchildren.

After TWO years Jim Cantore responds on the Barn with his FIRST post, Welcome Jim.
Thanks for setting everyone straight.

You should also think about manners... before you lose your account... for good this time... Very last warning. Next time you mock another user, call another user names, or do anything but post productively - you are gone.
