There is major flooding happening right now in the Midland Michigan area.
A dam has broken, another is ready to break and a bridge has now collapsed. Multiple areas have been evacuated.
A Facebook friend I know is asking for prayers for the people of her church and all that are effected. Many are elderly and will now be at evacuation centers...during our Covid- Pandemic. That is if of course they have evacuated safely. Boats are being using to rescue people.

The New South Wales and Queensland areas of Australia have been hit with massive flooding. One area has received 40 inches of rain in a week. Towns are submerged and at least one dam near Sydney has overflowed. Over 40,000 have been evacuated. https://www.npr.org/2021/03/24/980708784/40-000-evacuated-at-least-2-dead-in-massive-australian-floods
@lovendures. Sending healing to those affected. I think someone had a prediction about this for March.
Looks like I might have Jeanne, it was very specific though. Just posted it on the hit page thanks. I forgot about it. Some good hits about a different Australian weather issue earlier in the month by others too.
Interesting information about why the mid-2030's will see higher coastal flooding. It has to do with everything we already know about our climate crisis plus the 18.5 year lunar cycle which impacts tides.
(Who else didn't know there was an 18.5 year lunar cycle and that for half of those years the tide is amplified? Low tide is lower and high tide is higher while the other half of the time it is suppressed so there is less dramatic change between low and high tide.)
This is actually really interesting stuff.

With the recent heavy downpour from Hurricane Elsa, the NYC subway has been experiencing flooding.
@enkasongwriter Thanks for posting. I would think it would be dangerous to wade in deep water like that inside any building. You could get electrocuted. Perhaps the subways have safeguards, but I'd make sure before ever doing that.
@enkasongwriter We were up much of the night manning our sump pump as the saturated groundwater flowed into the basement. Still pumping today. This is the first time we’ve had to pump in ten years.
Who wants to switch weather patterns for a few days with the Southwest? I will send dry weather, you can send rain!
