Imagine... Driving your Maserati to the smog check in the expectation that you'll have the hottest ride there and then...

...that.

My GTI was a bit out of its league with those, and there was a BMW X5 behind me.  The good news is the Kroger there has a machine that prints out registation and tag decal.  I had to keep the car running for the AC, it's a bit hot.

Jeb Bush did away with emissions testing in Florida. Too expensive ($50Mil/year) and the State met all Federal clean air standards.

South Texas needs rain too, but yeah, I predict we will get exactly zero precipitation out of this.

Looks like Houston might get a little something from the outer bands of Harold. Maybe even San Antonio.

What it takes to relocate a town facing sea level rise (cnbc.com)
That's an eye-opener for sure.

I wonder why a new town though. Is it strictly a tribal thing?

Sweet Jesus. Rain. Not a lot, but it’s coming through in bands. 

50 miles south of Houston.

Well, sea level rise is driving this, the existing house is worthless as nobody will buy it.

Very tough to have to start over with no equity at all.

There is an existing program through FEMA for some of this. It is administered through the county. I worked on a project some time ago where we'd go out and collect elevation information on properties prone to flooding.

The county would make the owner a FEMA-backed offer on the house so they could knock it down. Most of the time the owners took it and ran.

Highlights. Global average sea level has risen 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880. In 2021, global sea level set a new record high—97 mm (3.8 inches) above 1993 levels.

I'm surprised that less than a foot means whole towns are in trouble.

The alarmist who wrote the article said 2-3 more feet by 2100.

I have a hard time believing that number.
