Ärende: do the math
===================

 RW>>> Last week, Marble Falls, TX got 18" (about 460mm) in 6 hours. I sawa few
 RW>>> of the folks who were in the flood plain float by, just down the street
 RW>>> from here.

 BF>> I don't mean to offend you how the heck is that possible?

 RW> If you knew that, I would be offended by your constant referals to me as
 RW> the scape goat for everything that's wrong in this echo, this country,
 RW> this world. I'm not.

Good.

 BF>> Can clouds really contain that amount of water?

 RW> Probably not just 'a' cloud, but many clouds passing over one spot can
 RW> drop all they have, which could add up to more than 18"...

If you had said 6 days but 6 hours.....almost half a meter in that time is hard
to believe.

 BF>> For us, 240mm is extremly rare and a bit south from here I think they
 BF>> have had twice that much in half the time.

 RW> For us, rain at this time of year is rare too. By the middle of May,
 RW> normally we'd have clear skys and lots of sunshine with high temps getting
 RW> even higher by the end of June. July would normally be daytime temps in
 RW> the mid-90s...not even close this year.

We have to believe in Al Gore then.

 BF>> Feel free to also jump on me because I mentioned your name in another
 BF>> thread.

 RW> Why would I bother? You're known for making false accusations that mean
 RW> little to me or anyone else.

We're two of a kind then.

 BF>> Ross and Jeff already have and now I'm waiting for Shannon and  Michiel
 RW> too.......Let's stir things up and start a real flame war,  > eh.....It
 RW> have been much to peaceful here latly.

 RW> Ok. But when we look back on this in 2 or 3 weeks, we'll all be able to
 RW> say it wasn't Roy, Ross, Jeff, Michiel or Shannon who started it. The real
 RW> instigator of flame wars will be kicked out of the echo at that time by
 RW> either one of the recognized moderators.

So you are planning to keep it up for 2 or 3 weeks? Ok, good to know, I was
more
planning to give it up right away.
