Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

In my day, never was longer.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Republicans do not trust women.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

No one could have predicted…

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Hey Man, Did You See That?

They call it the Souris in Canada, the Mouse in North Dakota, and it’s having the biggest flood in recorded history this Spring and Summer. A couple of weeks ago, the city of Minot seemed to have been spared because of heroic efforts to add clay to the top of the dikes that line the river. With 4-6 inches of rain falling earlier this week in Saskatchewan, and heading down the river, the dams that protect Minot are all full and releasing tremendous amounts of water.

“What’s happening here,” explained [Weather Service hydrologist] Schlag, “is that the Souris has finally gone so far out of its banks that we are seeing significant flow short-circuiting the normal meandering course of the river. It is now wall-to-wall throughout the valley and is traveling in a straight line.”

Over one-quarter of Minot’s 41,000 residents have now been evacuated, and all they can do now is watch their houses fill up with water.

When you hear “North Dakota flood”, you might think about Fargo and the Red River valley, which floods regularly. This is a different place — Minot had a major flood in 1969 and built a series of levees that protected the city for more than 40 years. This is the first flood since then, and the river is 8 feet higher than any level recorded in 130 years. To put the recent 4-6 inch rainfall in perspective, that part of the country normally gets 15-18 inches of rain per year.

Reader Robert, who lives in the area, sent some good links to area resources. The Minot Red Cross is taking donations here. The KX network station in Minot is broadcasting around the clock and has many of its viewers sending updates to its Facebook page. Robert is OK, and I have family members who evacuated on Wednesday, and they’re OK, too, so thankfully this is just about people losing property, not lives.

    It’s truly going to be horrific. NOAA installed a flood gauge specifically for this incident (they saw it coming, way back in March) and the trend in river height is absolutely appalling.

    I’ve been doing a series of liveblogs over at GOS. Yeah they get meta and Firebaggy a lot, but it truly is the best place to blog about a disaster.

    For some perspective-go to cnn. There is an article about the flood with a picture of a house under several feet of water.

    They’re expecting FIVE MORE FEET of water.

    So sad for the people there, but at least they had quite a bit of time to prepare. By disaster standards, anyway.

    The actor Josh Duhamel is from Minot and is bringing more attention to the disaster than it might get otherwise. A celebrity connection means shows like Extra! and Entertainment Tonight do little bits on it too. When he’s interviewed he mentions donating to the Red Cross in the area.

    I couldn’t find anything on the installation date, either. NOAA’s spring forecast was released in May-it could have been that early.

    weather.com has a page devoted to Minot with a very active ticker -people are posting real-time which areas are flooding. Supposedly water is up to the rooftops in some areas of Burlington-they’re posting pics on yfrog, which I can’t access at work.

    Ahem. Katrina.

    “Of the estimated 143,000 single-family (1 to 4 unit) residential structures in Orleans
    Parish, almost 95,000 suffered some degree of flood damage. On the East Bank of the
    city, roughly two-thirds of the single-family structures suffered flood damage equal to
    25 percent of more of their pre-Katrina structure values.”

    Plus a thousand or so people died in New Orleans.

    Though the Weather Channel mentioned this yesterday, the reporting made it look like someone left a garden hose open at the end of a cul-de-sac.

    @imonlylurking: Actually, NOAA and the USGS have flood gauges all over the Souris river, and have for decades. You can access a page listing all of them.

    http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=bis&storyid=69009&source=0

    This is a terrible disaster. And it’s just another in a string for the state of North Dakota. I live in Grand Forks, and every day I park next to the dike that protects us from the Red River. In 1997, we lost Grand Forks to that River’s record flood. 90% of the city had to evacuate. We almost lost Fargo, too. Since then, we’ve had two close calls with Fargo (2009 and this year), Devils Lake (pop. 7500)has been forced to build Dutch-style dikes to protect it from going under the rising waters of it’s namesake lake, Valley City (pop 7000) has been to the brink twice in the past several years, and Bismarck is currently dealing with a major flood disaster on the Missouri River. With Minot being hit this year, all four of the state’s “major cities” have now been hit hard in the past 15 years.

    It’s getting a bit old. And another piece of bad news for Minot is the current federal political situation. Following the 1997 disaster, Grand Forks received considerable federal support to build a state-of-the-art flood protection system, and additional aid to help the people of the city get back on their feet. Bill Clinton and our all-Democratic congressional delegation worked tirelessly to help push through a relief bill. Minot (and Bismarck) however, will get to face our new tea-party overlords when they approach DC looking for relief aid.

    It will probably not be a pretty situation. Elections have consequences, sometimes unfortunate. Here’s hoping that the people of Minot will get the support they need.

    OK, I agree this is getting a little stupid, but there is a bit of a scale requirement when it comes to natural disasters. If you read something like “a horrific earthquake which destroyed one house in the state and killed the person inside” or “the city was devastated after a horrific tornado severely damaged one mobile home” you might think the reporter was using a bit of hyperbole.

    I live 240 miles northwest of Minot, and it’s insane this year. I’ve seen flooding from spring runoff (like in late April this year), but never this much this late. The main highway is closed from about 30 miles south of me into ND…never seen that before.

    And comments re slow-moving emergencies are dead on. This has been building since early spring, and there’s been very little news coverage until the past few days. I’m happy to say that the provincial government is paying the wages of civil servants who volunteer to go help in Weyburn and arranging transportation for them….at least it’s something. Finally.

    Thanks to a better safety net, affected Saskatchewan residents will fare better than their American neighbours. I hope the US federal government comes through for those folks.

    The current cycle of floods in the state started in 1993 in the Devils Lake Basin. My tiny hometown of Edmore was one of those flooded that year. Since then there has been been a federal disaster designation someplace in North Dakota each and every year. Last year I believe 51 of the state’s 53 counties were included in disaster designations.

    This is why I think Obama is going to cruise in 2012:

    A plurality of Florida voters say they are less inclined to support a Republican presidential candidate in 2012 because of the way their freshman GOP governor has acted since taking office, according to a PPP poll to be released Friday morning.

    The new teatard governors are mostly all in swing states, and they’re poisoning the well by being so fucking bad. People react to local problems and extrapolate from there. If Republicans are fucking up the works locally, voters assume they won’t be able to do better nationally. If Obama wins WI, IN, OH, FL, PA, the GOP has no hope to win.

    My mum was raised in Souris Manitoba on the Souris river. According to her the river starts in Sask. drops into ND and then comes back into Canada thru Souris which is SW of Winnipeg and eventually runs into the Assiniboine River she thinks west of Brandon. Souris will likely be okay because the river valley the river runs through is very deep and the town is built on the hills around the valley. According to my 80 year old mother “Only a couple of stupid Doctors live by the river.”

    As mentioned elsewhere, the Laurentian divide zigzags along the 49th parallel, so the water in the Souris will eventually end up in Hudson’s Bay, via Winnipeg.

    Historical note: In the early part of the 19th century, the Laurentian divide was the de facto boundary between British (The Selkirk Concession) and American (The Louisiana Purchase) possessions west of the Great Lakes. It wasn’t until 1818 that the 49th parallel was set as the border, at which time there was a land swap. Britain ceded territory that years later became part of North Dakota and Minnesota, and the US ceded territory that years later became part of Saskatchewan and Alberta

    I bet that scientists’ insistence on issuing their warming projections in Celsius has something to do with Americans’ lack of concern. They hear “four degrees” and imagine what a change of four degrees Farenheight would feel like and go “so what?”

    7.2 degrees would be more troubling: that is enough of a difference to make a person uncomfortable

  65. 65.

    I agree on the rhetoric, though obviously scientists use Celsius as a convention to avoid confusing each other. It’d be nice if the media did their job and converted Celsius into Fahrenheit for U.S. readers. It’d also be nice if they noted, as I did above, how projected global average temperature changes compare to the changes encountered during ice age cycles. I think it brings home the idea that the changes we’re driving are big. Really big.
