It’s time to stop thinking in terms of discrete events, and start looking at the synergy of these bouts of excessive precipitation.
Changes in the patterns of heavy rainfall are turning into a rolling disaster, on and on.
Newshounds look for survival stories, tales of recovery. But what if flooding comes repeatedly, year after year, season after season, every couple of years after every couple of years ? If there’s no “getting over it all”, or “getting back to normal”, will the mainstream media have to readjust their spectacles ?
