An all-timer


Last week's rain in Pensacola (there was a lot of it) set a new record.

Florida deluge was an all-time record

"According to data from the weather station at Pensacola Regional Airport, 15.55 inches of rain -- the greatest rainfall amount from any calendar day on record—fell Tuesday. Data from the station go back to 1879."

In a word:  WOW.

Roger Pielke Jr. doesn't think this is related to global warming.

But this puts it in much better context:

Climate change and the floods

Well, here's what I say.  The more floods like this, the more they are a significant sign of climate change.

Period.
