Guardian: Shakira Fair clutches her little doll Brianna tightly as she peers nervously into the high school gymnasium that will be her home for at least the next few nights. The doll, in a bright pink toy cot, and Shakiras favourite woolly Olaf hat from the movie Frozen, were the only possessions the nine-year-old had time to collect when a sheriffs deputy came knocking on the door of her mothers apartment on Tuesday morning to tell them to get out immediately.

US: BMW deals with disastrous flood, still producing at South Carolina factory
2015-10-06 12:25:37| Auto Dealers - Topix.net
German luxury automaker BMW AG and its South Carolina auto dealers are currently adjusting to the weather conditions in the state, where at least two feet of rain have poured during the past three-four days. The catastrophic flooding in some parts of the state - for example in Columbia, S.C., where the Congaree River jumped 10 feet in just 12 hours according to reports - has impacted the rail transfer of completed BMW vehicles that were headed towards the Port of Charleston, with 70 percent of the assembly facility's output headed towards export.

Scientists say New York City already faces much worse flood risks due to rising seas
2015-09-29 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: In a new study, scientists say that the risk of major hurricane or storm-driven flooding in New York City is already considerably higher than it was 1,000 or even 100 years ago, thanks both to a considerable rise in sea level, but also, they say, to changes in the nature of storms. We see more intense storms with a greater ability to produce high storm surges at The Battery in NYC during the anthropogenic era than during the pre-anthropogenic era, the researchers write. The paper, just out...
Rising sea levels and stronger storms increase flood danger
2015-09-26 09:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: New research has found rising sea levels and stronger storms associated with climate change will produce longer-lasting, more intense periods of flooding. Many studies predict that future sea-level rise along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts will increase flooding. Others suggest that the human-caused warming driving this rise will also boost the intensity and frequency of big coastal storms. Up to now, though, these two hazards have been assessed mostly in isolation from each other. Now,...
