Flash-flood watches and warnings (click here) were issued across seven states early Tuesday as an unprecedented downpour of torrential rain triggered "extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening" conditions in Houston. 

More than 30 million Americans were told to brace for dangerous thunderstorms — including flooding, hail and possible tornadoes — as meteorologists warned the weather that has centered on Texas and Oklahoma since Saturday could expand to other areas. 

In Houston, more than 80,000 people were without power and the flood waters closed roads including Interstate 10 and Interstate 45. Houston was among 24 counties where Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster on Monday....

Republican Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe’s (click here) tenuous grip on reality is no secret. When the Alfred E. Murrah building in his state’s largest city was bombed at 9:02 in the morning on April 19, 1995, Inhofe said on national television that there wouldn’t be many casualties because most government workers would be out drinking coffee at that time.

But much of his criticism is directed at those who say that climate change is real and is a danger to our planet. Inhofe is now the chairman of the Senate’s Environment Committee. He celebrated the first day of his second shot at this position by speaking for 13 minutes claiming that human-caused climate change is a fake concept. He’s even written a book entitled The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future....

400 homes were lost. That has to be a record. The dam broke due to the flooding. One life was lost.

All these storms are breaking records. 

From the Houston Chronicle. The paper states home delivery will experience problems. The Houston Chronicle is still publishing. That is called dedication and sincere concern for the community they serve.

What a night. (click here)
There was wind. Gusts of 50, 70 and even 100 mph were reported around the Houston metro area.
There was hail. Sizes as large as three-quarters of an inch fell in Houston, particularly in the Sugar Land and Bellaire areas.
But mostly, there was rain. Especially in southwest Houston, where a large swath from the Sugar Land area to the Katy Freeway and Beltway 8 area received 7 to 10 inches of rain in just a few hours....
