Mother Nature Climatic War series
For nearly two weeks and counting, the Midwest particularly the flat states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, Alabama, Indiana and Iowa and Nebraska (all Republican states and rural) have been experiencing massive floods that have broken previous regional records. The biblical metaphors have been used so much by the pundits, journalists and local people that you can hear the exhaustion from Mother Nature's consistency to flood out the Ozarks (colloquial name for the southern Midwest/Plains states) before midsummer. The Cimarron River that runs through Oklahoma and Kansas has flood the small town of Crescent, Oklahoma and other towns in Iowa, parts of Alabama Arkansas have been turned into lakes. These are the floods that have yanked houses into rushing waters, bulldozed power lines and trapped residents in their homes. It has also killed 7 people and injured hundreds. As though nature wasn't finish with her cruelty, there are 500 tornadoes running across the flooded states and up and down the Plains. Tornadoes during this time of year in the United States' southern Midwest are common. However, ten or more tornadoes zigzagging their way through villages and tiny towns and flooding that has surpassed the 100 year mark have shocked even the most experienced tornado and storm chasers. Many more people have survived their homes being leveled. US intelligence have warned that climate change is a national security threat. The warning was made over a decade ago, even forty years ago. The jet stream from the Gulf of Mexico has its normal summer currents flipped. Where normally the jet stream sends warm air to the West Coast and Northern parts of the U.S. and the cooler weather to the deep South which has a tropical climate keep in mind, the cold air is being sent West and North. This has caused freak weather such as hail and winter like cold to continue falling in the Northern Midwest, parts of the East Coast and abnormal cold air to the West Coast which is usually burning hot this time of year. The tornadoes have increased in intensity every year.
The mayor of Jefferson City has warned the residents to be prepared for more flooding and to evacuate. The state capital was partially damaged in the floods. Some neighborhoods along the Arkansas Rivers have become rivers. A private lake in Oklahoma City could face collapse from the rising waters. In the Southwestern state of Texas, tornadoes have been bombarding towns and the outer suburbs of Dallas Forth worth locally known as the Metroplex for the past week. The floods in Texas, were small in comparison to Oklahoma and its sister states. Tornadoes and severe storms are common in Texas but the severity has also caught the Texans off guard. Many tornado and flood damaged homes resemble bombed out homes and schools in Syria, Iraq, occupied Palestine and Yemen. Nature is responding in kind to destroying the United States' critical infrastructure (in needed of major updates) much like the US backed Saudi coalition in Yemen, ISIS takfiri militia in Syria and Libya and Israeli military in Palestine. Under the shadow of the 500 tornadoes across the Midwest and Southwest, the U.S. is threatening war on Iran while the ordinary Americans suffer from war like destruction both naturally and man made. The levees have done little to slow the cresting and overflowing rivers that crisscross the damaged states. It has been less than a year since Texas' largest city Houston, survived Hurricane Harvey that badly flooded the city. The residents of the city are still recovering and parts of the city reflooded again as the new storms washed over Texas. Tornadoes are still touching down in Texas, Oklahoma and their neighboring Midwestern states.
