The boss would still ask you to go into work tho
Yeeeaaahh, I’m gonna need you to drown, mmmkay?
(Funny how the color scheme here could definitely convey “drowning” at work)
Damn, looking like the roof of Burgertown in MW2

Now it’s an Arby’s because they already tasted like mold anyway.
Facts, Arby’s is actually disgusting.
who needs science when you can explain everything with jewish space lasers
That area always gets hit pretty hard, but this was any 10’ higher than they’ve ever gotten. Just around the corner from that Wendy’s is a giant apartment complex where they didn’t get the evacuation order until that Wendy’s was underwater and the road was already gone.
There’s no way. Is this real? Does weather often do things like this in the states?
This is real, not entirely common but becoming so as climate change accelerates. This image in particular is from the mountain town of Asheville, NC and is the result of Hurricane Helene.
States like Florida get hurricanes like this with some regularity and thus have built infrastructure to withstand it. It’s also a very flat state so geographically the flooding can run-off quickly. We here in the Appalachian mountains do not usually get hurricanes but apparently we do now. Thus the immense destruction as water pools in the valleys, rivers break over the banks, and infrastructure falls apart due to the flooding it was never designed for. Whole towns have been flooded out and washed away, people and all.
Yeah it’s real. Around 2ft or 60cm of rain fell in places due to a hurricane rolling through the area. Hurricanes are common to the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico states, but not much can withstand that amount of water getting dumped all in one place. It feels, anecdotally, like severe weather like this has become more common and widespread in recent decades.
I knew climate change would get bad in my lifetime, but this is happening so fast.
