I always thought it would be pleasant to visit Michigan (never been) however I never realized that tornadoes in Michigan were this common, personally I always thought they would get 2-3 every month or two. However here it says they could have up to 5 small tornadoes on May 7. Just goes to show you need to do research on an area before going.

so strange how despite all the climate change awareness and knowledge of the detrimental effects of fossil fuels offshore drilling is still being considered over renewable energy sources

This is a recent disaster that's still being investigated. Interestingly, the building collapsed without an external factor, like an earthquake. There was a big rescue response, and the George municipality has asked for donations for the rescue personnel as they continue to search and unburry survivors.

Something I found really interesting from your article is that it said atmospheric rivers might have the capacity "reconfigure the state's landscape" I wonder how this in addition to sea level rise would affect people needing to relocate.

Scary to think that these floods are happening so often this year and in the past years as well. But I feel like it has been more frequent around the world affecting and killing people that lie in the disaster.

On Friday Huston and the surrounding rural areas has experienced flooding that many have classified it to beging worse than the conditions brought by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Houston has been historically a highly flood-prone area and with 21 in of water falling over river banks. Thus far, more than 400 people have been evacutates from their homes but government officials still warn that conditions might get more severe.

I wonder how bridges and highways can be improved structurally, this reminds me of highway one always being closed to to slides.

This is a terrible incident. I wonder if the rain had anything to do with the collapse. Maybe the road had been eroded by the water.

I have a feeling the construction of the road may have not been up to code. I would imagine a road would have a fail-safe construction to prevent that from happening. I am also wondering if regular inspections are being conducted and if this could have been prevented.

This is very sad to read. Hopefully they are able to remove the barriers that block spawning areas so the population can increase.

It sucks knowing that humans did this to the trout and salmon populations. Wish we could have got chance in our lifetime to see these populations thriving.

Wow, if this turns out to come true then this will be a scary year for everyone effected.

It’s alarming how much more frequent and powerful these hurricanes are getting. I’m learning of even more impacted areas across the globe that face the negative impacts of infrastructure loss and havoc on many different communities. I wonder if the overall cost of disasters this year will be heavily influenced by these occurrences of more powerful hurricanes.

superfund site? or swept under the rug, listed as the price of doing business? who is the polluter?

This sounds like it could be a major disaster with long term consequences. In addition to the oil slick, fertilizer is terrible for marine ecosystems. It leads to eutrophication, so we may see effects on marine creatures in the effected area.

What a mix of problems hitting these regions. It seems humans always adapt to what nature brings, but nature is not being kind lately.

Prior to reading this article I was unaware that the USDA had a program like this set up. This seems like a great program for smaller farmer who do not have a large savings in place and might feel discouraged after a large disaster.

Really interesting article, It makes sense bees are sensitive to extreme temperatures. But I had never really thought about it fully. Its cool that they are able to use their wings in large groups to fan off the hive. Sad to read about yet another way climate change is killing animals though.

It always devastating to hear that our actions are hurting another species. It interesting to read that bees have their own way to cool down. I hope we can develop some technology to help out the bumblebees.

Hail 3 inches in diameter is scary to think about. Its terrible how destructive and deadly the tornadoes are in Oklahoma right now.

This flooding event is the fourth major flooding event within a year in Brazil. The frequency and severity of recent floods have damaged infrastructure, worsening the impacts of future events as society scrambles to recover. It is a reminder that 100 year flood events can occur at any time, and it does not refer to one flooding event every 100 years.

It was quite eye-opening to see how the excavating company’s unloaded debris evidently harmed the environment while going against the placed regulations. The company’s damming of a natural drain from a creek was a clear indication of their environmental unawareness, as this creek flows through the Champoeg State Heritage Area and into the Willamette River, affecting multiple people and environmental aspects.

Seeing the videos of some of these tornadoes is unreal, I wonder what sort of preparations are taken for these and how similar to other disaster prep it may be.

I don't really know how I would prepare for a tornado... what a scary situation.
