Wasnt dangerous . So metro is used to lot of water coming into the system. You might have heard the beginning of the piece there. They think of themselves as the french drain of our regio a th used to it, but if it gets to a point where it rised up to the third level right there, then they will cut the power if gets too high, but at that point everything is still fine.

A little bit of a trend, amelia. Were talking about Climate Change and though we cant say this storm itself because of Climate Change, were seeing this more often. Absolely. We can see the temperatures and the moisture in the atmosphere that is due to our change climate would help to make this intense rainstorm more intense than maybe a few decade ago. I mean, look at t imagery coming in, so what happens with Climate Change aswe use Greenhouse Gases to fuel our lifestyle. Carbon dioxide, methane isea reld. They trap heat in the atmosphere, and we see warmer temperatures overall. Warmer temperatures can hold more moisture so what that means when we have rainfall events like this, sure, we have downpours an we talk about 1 in 100 year, 1 in 500 year floodsre but we starting to see these types of events occur more frequently, and with that we cat stao see the potential link to some of our changing climate out there.
