POISONED WEATHER: CATASTROPHIC FLOODING ALERT IN HEARTLAND |

“Widespread and potentially catastrophic areal flooding and river flooding is expected this afternoon through Wednesday morning in Eastern Oklahoma, Western Arkansas, Western Louisiana, and Southwest Missouri, warns the National Weather Service in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in their latest flood watch for the region.” Weather Underground’s Jeff Masters reports. “Damaging winds, large hail, flash flooding, and few strong tornadoes are expected to affect the area late this afternoon. ” “The ongoing March heat wave in the Midwest is one of the most extreme heat events in U.S. history.” He adds: “While the blocking pattern responsible for the heat wave is natural, it is very unlikely that the intensity of the heat would have been so great unless we were in a warming climate.”
