More flooding this week has presented problems for the United States however in a different region. The eastern region of the US has face constant downpour enabling cars to be engulfed by high waters, as shown in picture above. The downpour is in relation to Tropical Storm Nicole which may bring flooding throughout the eastern coast from the Carolinas to Maine. It was just reported today that not only will people within the region have to worry about flood water but now there is a high wind advisory all along the Atlantic coast.
As you can see it is a major front infiltrating the Atlantic coast with low pressure and bringing lots of rain with it. Someday maybe Yuma, AZ can get rain like this again. I remember back in 2005, my first year here in Arizona, I experienced what was called monsoon season and it was raining practically everyday during one month. I have yet to experience anything like that again. Of course it'll rain every now then but they are just teasers. My first son was born in 2008 and he'd never experience rain at all until he was almost two. The family took a little trip to visit grandpa and grandma in Spring, Texas, which is a subdivision of Houston. The visit was in the month of August, which for anyone familiar with weather it was hurricane season. It poured the entire time we were there and there was a Hurricane that was heading our way, which actually caused damage to downtown Houston and major roof damage to Reliant Stadium. Since, my son hadn't ever seen rain or even knew of the word, he would and was very scared especially during the lightning storm. My parents house overlooks a lake so it is quite funny when something we (as adults) think is beautiful or just WOW someone as is petrified or terrified of the same situation.
