Flash floods crashed through the Dallas-Forth Worth area late Sunday and into Monday, sweeping up cars and trucks along the highway as some areas of the sister cities accumulated as much a 10 inches of rain, with a record breaking 3.01 inches slamming the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, one of the world’s busiest airports, in just an hour.

A video posted to Twitter by Dallas Texas TV shows vehicles peeled off to the side of an area highway while a river of water crashes down the highway, drowning some cars along the way. The National Weather Service called the flash flooding “life-threatening,” urging residents to stay off the roads or out of effected areas.

The severity of the storm qualifies it as a “1-in-1,000-year flood,” according to The Washington Post, adding that over the last week, three 1-in-1,000 year rain events have hit the U.S., in St. Louis, eastern Kentucky and southeastern Illinois.

  1. The severity of the storm qualifies it as a “1-in-1,000-year flood,”

    Do they have records of the past thousand years to make such a statement?

  2. I don’t want to quibble but based on my records these things happen like clockwork once every 987 years in Dallas. Not 1,000

    “Excuse me, Washed Post, but if you didn’t experience the flood that took place in Noah’s generation, you haven’t experienced anything!” said a 5000 year old fish, a veteran flood survivor who came out alive and completely unscathed from the massive biblical flood.
    “I’m living proof,” the elder fish added, “that sometimes it’s better to be a fish than a human being, or any other creature, for that matter!”

  4. Climate change. When menuvalim change their gender and killing the unborn and the elderly is a right Hashem makes the climate change.
