Right. I see that now: they built the bridge structurally solid and were total cheap misers about the road and the marriage was a complete disaster. They do things ass backwards there.

Wow, not sure what’s what . I cant piece the big picture together of what happen with Sanibel . The images I saw looked so hopeful but maybe not so much. That video was quite revealing. Trying to wrap my head around how this happened to that place I spent much time at. Now this video shows much more than I have ever seen. Not for broadcasting. Why?

Storm chasers record video with hopes of selling it to the networks. They put that watermark on it to keep anyone from using it for free. I see a lot of it on You Tube during the day, then see it on the news at night, so they are selling some of them.

Storm surge does most of the damage right on the coast. Water weighs eight pounds a gallon, and there was 15 foot of storm surge in places. It breaks shit up. The inland flooding was from rain, so it will muck up everything you own, but not break it.
Shock and disbelief are common after natural disasters. You can't wrap your mind around changes so big. It's been almost four years, and not a day goes by that Hurricane Michael doesn't effect my life. My little part of the world will not be the same in my lifetime.

A powerful hurricane could just about cut Floridia in half. Did ya lose yer lights? We are mostly restored except for rural and hard-hit areas.

I'm in NW Florida, a long way away from the storm. We did have some windy weather from it, but that was it.

One point about storm surge I forgot to mention. When it comes with 150 mph winds it's worse.
Mexico Beach had 17 feet. It was 15 in this storm, so far. They will measure water marks in houses and get the official height. Most of the dead at point of impact are from storm surge. In the days after, the leading killer is ladders and chainsaws.
Anyway. . . .

Meet the California farmers awash in Colorado River water, even in a drought
A single irrigation district in California, along the Mexican border, takes more water from the Colorado River than all of Arizona and Nevada. It's under pressure to use less.

The Mississippi river level is very low, there's a large section of it that can no longer take fully loaded barges, they can only fill them 3/4 full or they run aground. The amount of tonnage that is moved on the river by barges is enormous and the low water will add costs to shipping and raise prices. Farm harvests are moved south and return trips carry fertilizers, coal,oil and gasoline is also moved on the river.

i like this idea, but i don't like it....
it would work, at least temporarily...but it does nothing at all to address the underlying issues.
if you used this technology, the worst offenders would try to use it as a justification to continue their shitty habits. they need to remain under the utmost pressure to reform their businesses, to invest in new tech, to have a reason to reform...
