Missouri River Runoff -- 2019 Runoff Could Set Record; Surpass 2011 Record; Water Shortage? What Water Shortage? -- October 22, 2019

From The Bismarck Tribune:
  • in 2011: "a historic runoff"; flooding hit Bismarck-Mandan area
  • this past year: record-setting rainfall and historic early October blizzard
  • global warming? what global warming?
  • but look at this: runoff forecast:
  • 61 million acre feet
  • more than 2.5 x the average of 25.3 million acre feet
  • the highest in 121 years
  • September, 2019: wettest on record for North Dakota
  • August and September came within 1/20 of an inch of breaking the 1900 record
  • October runoff? expected to be about 3 x the average (which is more than 2.5 x)
  • keep on worrying about global warming, Occasional Cortex
