Below are some pictures and videos from this week’s flash flood in the area. Quote the last article (the last tweet) written by Mr. Tony Messenger. “These sure the hell aren’t 100-year floods,” Criss says. “They’re like two-year floods. It’s staggering.” || We were not flood, but I know some people were impacted or lost car or belongings (their house or apartment were flooded).
I think for us we still start from baby steps: not buying bottled water for example. I think #ClimateChange#Environment issues are like #Pandemic: it takes us all to make it work. We cannot blame others, and we cannot solely rely on Bill Gates / Warren Buffet.
Kirkham and Elm in Webster Groves is flooded. Black car managed to get out but flash flooding is no joke here. Just about .2 miles from where it flooded Tuesday morning. #mowx#stlwxpic.twitter.com/TbqLALcdWs
This, almost unbelievably, was Deer Creek surging through Brentwood/Webster Groves (Mo.) in the wake of the all-time record rainfall of 7/26/22. #stlwxpic.twitter.com/wwp5WbYj2k
Dear St. Louis: please, when the next developer comes to the next local municipality promising sales tax nirvana if only he can raise some land out of the flood plain, remember July 2022. There is a better way and we have been ignoring it for too long. https://t.co/FNveqSiwiY

One driver flashed me yesterday evening. And this evening a neighbor told me one of the light for my minivan is out 🙂 Took me a while to find the other

Although my boss and colleague didn’t say explicitly, it’s quite apparent to me, that the former colleague took his own life. This is the charity the family suggest donation in lieu of flowers. I googled “PTSD for veterans”, and this resource website by va.gov pops

First I would say nobody or very few people would know him if not for his last name and family connections. He is a #VaccineDenier which may have negative impact on the health of the babies, the toddlers, the younger kids in the US. I
