  • Remarkable video captures the moment a man was rappelling down a cliff alongside a waterfall as flash floods ripped through Utah. "My trip unexpectedly turned into a test of resilience and preparedness," says the thrill seeker. Motorists encountered nightmare conditions. A husband and wife are believed to have been swept away in the floods. Maranda and Ray Ankofski's vehicle was found but no sign of the couple.

      Oh you must be a climatologist! What did your measurements and data tell you in defining this weather event? I assume your data told you something different than the other climatologists to say that’s it’s not a 150 year storm. Doesn’t it bother you as a climatologist when people insert their subjective opinion as a fact for defining weather events?

      @@Leggyblond22 oh you study weather!? That’s awesome. So you surely have taken measurements of this storm and must have gotten something different than the climatologists. You should share your findings with them so they can get the correct definition of this storm because as you know because you study weather, a 150 year storm is a definable definition. It’s not an opinion. As a study weather expert, does it bother you when people experience the Dunning Kruger effect in your field and call themselves an expert because they claim they have studied weather?

      @@Leggyblond22 exactly. So you gave them the data and they took that data and did the calculations and determined it to be a 150 year storm and then you took the data and did your own calculations and determined it to be a less severe storm right? Because that’s how that would work. You should tell them of your findings so they get it right. We wouldn’t want anyone’s anecdotal perception to determine the severity of the storm.
