Floods W Va Record
- ``I've seen a lot of floods around here, but I've never seen anything
like this,'' said Gary Edwards, who grew up in Mullens, in Wyoming County.
``This is a disaster.''
- Repeated storms from May 15 through June 11 caused millions of dollars
in damage. Sixteen West Virginia counties are eligible for some type of federal
disaster assistance from that flood including most of those flooded again
Sunday.
- A thunderstorm Sunday morning dumped nearly 8 inches of rain in Mullens,
55 miles south of Charleston, said meteorologist Tom Mazza. ``The rainfall
came in at 2 inches an hour. The air mass was extremely moist and that supported
heavy rainfall rates,'' he said.
- The Guyandotte River was at 18 feet 5 feet above flood stage
and above the 1977 record of 17.76 feet, meteorologist John Sikora said.
The Tug Fork was at 17.5 feet in southern West Virginia, 7.5 feet over its
banks and more than 4 feet above the previous high.

D C Floods
- Some locales reported
nearly four inches of rain in a little more than an hour Saturday, with totals
of as much as eight inches, though the official rainfall total -- recorded
at National Airport -- was only .93 inches.
- "I've never seen a storm quite like this one that left so much water,"
said Barbara Pair, deputy director of the District's Emergency Management
Agency.
- "We've had a few storms that have been of this nature. What makes
this one different is how quickly the water came down,"
- Last week's four-day heat wave sent power consumption to record levels,
and "operating at those maximum loads, the cables get hot," Pepco spokesman
Bob Dobkin said last night. "When you get doused with torrential rain, it's
a recipe for disaster.

West Virginia worried about flood warning system
- In September Rezek told lawmakers that as many as 40% of 280 gauges
around the state fail to work properly. Since then, state officials, who
are responsible for maintenance, have been able to restore about 10% of the
gauges by cutting brush, removing pine needles and debris from funnels and
changing batteries and solar panels, but 30% still don't work.

More Severe Storms N A S A Global Warming
- As the world warms, the USA will face more severe
thunderstorms with deadly lightning, damaging hail and the potential for
tornadoes, a trailblazing study by NASA scientists suggests.
- On a normal sunny day, updrafts are less than 1 mile per hour. In
a big, non-severe rainstorm, it's about 2 mph. In a severe storm they could
be 20 to 30 mph. The faster that updraft, the worse the storms.
- It
predicts lightning will increase about 6% as the amount of carbon dioxide
the chief global warming gas doubles.
