I agree the storms are unpredictable in what they will do. Christ, I’ve even had rain a clear sunny day with very little scattered clouds that don’t show up on radar.

This is just a natural disaster. I lived through the flood of 1993 in Des Moines, Iowa. I was a security patrol officer patrolling the streets for the Des Moines Grand Prix and watched the record flooding of Des Moines in real time. The streets downtown were flooded within an hour, not a single storm in the area for a week or two.

The waters backed up clear from the Mississippi River which is over 2 hours away. It flooded the Des Moines river and the Raccon river. It flooded downtown Des Moines, the water works (which was knocked off line and destroying water supplies 4 towns away in all directions of the compass.

We had warning of possible flooding and that was it. Water was up to 10 feet deep in some areas, and even more around the water works. Dukes and levies failed around town. Sandbag walls were destroyed by the rapidly raising water. They called it a 100 year flood.

My point is, nobody blamed it on anyone. We all pulled together and helped our neighbors, friends and families without complaint. And FEMA was there within 12 hours with supplies and water for people. These items were distributed by the Iowa National Guard working on behalf of FEMA.

We need to stop blaming people, politicians, NWS and cloud seeding for this. No one is to blame for this disaster except Mother Nature. Weather cannot be controlled like people seem to think it can.
