Businesses in Bantry in west Cork are again counting the cost after about 20 premises were flooded when the town experienced a heavy downpour earlier in the week…This left many locals worried, as it marked the town's seventh flood since 2020 and 10th since 2012.So, what needs to be done to prevent more flooding?Andrea is joined by Michael Collins, Leader of Independent Ireland, as well as local residents, to discuss.

If you feel like Wisconsin weather patterns have gotten a little more excessive - you're not alone! The Wisconsin State Climatology Office along with the Rural Partnerships Institute and Wisconet are road tripping beginning in December. They're goal isn't just seeing rural Wisconsin, they want to hear from people living in rural Wisconsin about how they're gathering their own weather information. Amanda Latham, Outreach Specialist for Wisconsin's Sate Climatology Office says that their office wants to better understand what rural areas need. These listening sessions will allow attendees to ask questions and share perspectives and experiences with extreme weather. Floods, drought, extreme heat, and cold - to name just a few challenges. Latham says with this information, they hope to develop data, tools, and resources to help communities better understand local weather and climate, as well as improve extreme weather preparedness. The "Extreme Weather and Climate Services Roadshow" will feature staff from the WI State Climatology Office as well as Wisconet partners and researchers like Jackson Parr, who's focused on extreme rural weather in Wisconsin. The first meeting December 2nd in Rhinelander will be the first of 3 currently planned. According to Latham, there's not a virtual option right now, but they're always interested in hearing from rural residents about what they can do to help with future forecasting tools, and emergency preparedness in rural areas. If you're planning to attend the free session Tuesday, December 2nd at the Newbold Community Center in Rhinelander, you can register here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Satellite Tracking Reveals Increased Global Population Exposure to Floods (2000–2018). Professor Beth Tellman (Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Cloud to Street; Professor at the University of Arizona geography) discusses her peer-reviewed study, published in Nature magazine, using satellite imaging from NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites, equipped with the MODIS optical sensor, to track global flood events. This systematic mapping provides hard data of actual events, augmenting the global flood database, covering 913 observed flood events between 2000 and 2018. Her research identified an increase of up to 24% in the proportion of the population exposed to floods, indicating people are moving faster into flood plains than the general population growth rate. Limitations of the data include satellites being blocked by cloud cover and difficulty tracking sudden events like dam breaks or pluvial events. A significant concern is the underreporting bias of damaging floods in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. 1913 DAYTON

Guest: Alex TomoffWhen you think of weather and meteorology, you probably picture storm chasers, satellites, or your local forecast. But what about chocolate? At Mars, Inc. — the company behind favorites like M&M's and Snickers — weather isn't just background noise, it's a critical part of the business.

JB White checks in from Tallahassee with another sharp and soulful RattlerGator Report, mixing personal stories, sports rants, and serious political insight. Between laughter over grease stains and praise for Tesla's newest self-driving update, JB turns his focus to the Florida Gators' coaching shakeup, defending Billy Napier's leadership and blasting the warped culture of college sports. Then he shifts gears into the big picture: Trump's global strategy, RICO cases, and how “flooding the zone” is overwhelming both the media and political establishment. Reading from William Howard Taft's Our Chief Magistrate, JB breaks down how executive power has been eroded and why Trump's actions mark a constitutional correction, not chaos. He closes with his prediction that Obama's downfall may come through conspiracy charges, not RICO, and argues that the black community is already waking up to the betrayal of the Obama years. Blending humor, intellect, and Southern grit, JB delivers one of his most engaging and unapologetic episodes yet, part talk show, part history lesson, and all Badlands.

Pastor Leah Klingseis compares Jesus' parable of the wise and foolish builders to the security gained from a financial emergency fund, showing how consistent obedience to Jesus forms an unshakable life. When we practice His words, life's storms become less destabilizing and more manageable.

Extreme weather events are reshaping the investment landscape. How can investors protect portfolios—and communities—from the rising physical risks of climate change? In this episode, Kate Webber, Chief Solutions and Technology Officer at the PRI, speaks with Dr Calvin Lee Kwan of Link Asset Management and Simon Whistler, PRI's Head of Real Assets, to explore how investors can turn climate resilience into both risk management and value creation.Overview Physical climate risk is no longer theoretical—it's here. Floods, fires, and black-rain events are increasing in frequency and intensity, with real financial consequences. Simon Whistler outlines how investors are beginning to quantify and address these risks, yet highlights that fewer than one-third of PRI signatories currently report on physical climate risk metrics. Calvin Lee Kwan shares how Link Asset Management has moved from reactive recovery to proactive resilience—reducing insurance premiums by 11.7% and strengthening investor confidence in the process.Detailed CoveragePhysical climate risk today: More frequent and severe events—from typhoons in Hong Kong to floods in Europe—are causing major financial and operational losses.Investor action gap: Only 29% of investors report on physical climate risk, compared with 50% in the real-assets space, showing the need for broader engagement.Value protection and creation: Link's sustainability strategy is built on two pillars—protecting existing value through resilience and creating new value through efficiency and stakeholder alignment.From risk to return: Engaging insurers with clear, data-driven resilience metrics translated into measurable financial results, proving sustainability can deliver bottom-line benefits.Community resilience: Floodwaters don't stop at property boundaries. Link's team now collaborates with neighbors, local authorities, and infrastructure managers to build district-level resilience—an approach that benefits whole communities.Industry-wide change: Collaboration between investors, insurers, and policymakers is key to building consistent models, pricing resilience into valuations, and driving systemic adaptation.Communication as a catalyst: For Calvin Lee Kwan, sustainability comes down to translating resilience into stakeholder-specific value—from stable returns for investors to safety and reliability for tenants.Chapters00:43 – Welcome and introductions02:08 – Why investors must act on physical climate risk05:07 – How far investors have come—and how far to go07:23 – The cost versus opportunity debate08:43 – Link Asset Management's practical approach11:48 – A watershed moment: floods and recovery13:34 – Turning resilience into measurable value15:23 – Black-rain events and extreme weather16:59 – Challenges for other investors20:23 – Partnering with insurers to price resilience25:00 – From property-level to community-level resilience27:28 – How resilience links to property valuation30:50 – Final reflections: communication, focus, and leadership32:44 – What is the responsibility of investingFor more details, visit: https://www.unpri.org/climate-change-for-private-markets/assessing-physical-climate-risk-in-private-markets-a-technical-guide/13135.articleKeywords responsible investment, physical climate risk, resilience investing, PRI podcast, Link Asset Management, insurance and sustainability, real assets, climate adaptation, community...

The government has announced a climate adaptation plan to help handle floods, cyclones, and other natural disasters. Councils will now have to draw up 30-year plans, and a national flood map is due in 2027. Climate change minister Simon Watts told Mike Hosking that the current system lacks a coordinated approach to respond to natural hazards. “We don't have good data to make decisions, we don't have clear roles and responsibilities...we don't have a clear framework to deal with that reality.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This can turn into a raging river with enough rain Welcome to Episode 76 - When it floods it destroys – 1908 Trinity River - 1921 San Antonio. Today I'm looking at one of the more silent disasters that can hit a state and that is flash flooding and flooding in general. If you don't mind how about visiting my sponsor Ashby Navis & Tennyson Digital Publishers great audiobooks, mobile apps, and video games. Picture a dry creek bed or a street that looks calm and harmless. Then, suddenly, heavy rain falls—sometimes miles away—and all that water rushes downhill at once. In minutes, what was once dry ground can turn into a roaring river. That's a flash flood. Unlike regular floods, which rise slowly over hours or days, a flash flood lives up to its name: it happens fast, often with little warning. Walls of water can sweep through canyons, streets, or neighborhoods, carrying debris, cars, even parts of buildings. A flash flood is nature reminding us just how quickly things can change. One moment calm, the next moment a surge of unstoppable water. It's powerful, dangerous, and one of the hardest types of flooding to escape—because it gives so little time to react. 1908 Trinity River Flood (Dallas) Stretching from a few miles south of the Red River the Trinity River runs for 710-miles. As the river ran through Central Texas, the Caddo people called the river the Arkikosa and as it neared the Gulf Coast it was known as the Daycoa. In 1687 French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle, named the river Riviere des canoës ("River of Canoes") and then in 1680 Spanish explorer Alonso de León named it, "La Santísima Trinidad" ("the Most Holy Trinity"). However, in 2022, language preservationists from the Caddo Nation determined their ancestral language lacked the letter “R” sound. So that means that the original Caddo name, Arkikosa was likely a corruption or misspelling of the word Akokisa. That word was actually taken from the language of the Atakapa people who lived in the woodlands along the Gulf Coast. The river passes through the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth and is and was a major waterway in the region. Anyway, about the flood…. In the spring of 1908. rain had fallen for days, soaking the earth until it could hold no more. By late May, the Trinity River was no longer a river, it was a roaring, unchained sea. On the morning of May 24, the people of Dallas awoke to a sight they would never forget: the river had swallowed nearly a third of their city. Homes in the bottoms lay under brown, swirling water. Families scrambled to rooftops with what little they could carry, waiting for boats to pull them to safety. The wooden bridges that once connected Dallas to Oak Cliff were gone, swept away like twigs. With rail lines drowned and telegraphs silenced, the city stood alone, an island cut off from the world. At its height, the Trinity surged more than fifty feet above normal. The flood took lives, at least a handful, records from that time period are scarce, so there may have been many more who lost their lives. We do know that thousands were left homeless. Livestock drowned in the fields, businesses were ruined, and the muddy water lingered long after the rain had stopped, reminding everyone of the river's power. Yet out of the wreckage came resolve. Dallas leaders saw clearly that the Trinity could not be ignored or left to its own wild course. Within a few years, levees would rise, the channel would be straightened, and a grand new bridge, the Houston Street Viaduct, would span the river, a promise that Dallas would never be humbled in the same way again. 13 years later, South Texas would experience much the same from the San Antonio River and its tributaries. 1921 San Antonio Flood For 23 straight hours the rain came not from San Antonio's skies, but from the Hill Country beyond. On September 9, 1921, torrents fell upstream, and the unsuspecting city slept as the water gathered s...

Gas prices are plunging nationwide — the average has dropped six cents in a week to $3.02 per gallon, nearly 14 cents lower than a month ago. Analysts say America could soon see the national average fall below $3 and stay there for the first time in years, driven by oil dipping under $60 a barrel. Some states, including Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin, may even see prices drop below $2 per gallon — a milestone not reached since the pandemic. Meanwhile on the show: giving lottery scratchers as gifts sparks a “finder's fee” debate, Conway jokes about winning the Lotto and filing a restraining order, “Castro & Conway in the Mornings” makes an appearance, and memories of Wonder Pets lead to talk about kids now running the car radio. Weather-wise, forecasters missed big — expecting an inch of rain but getting 3–4, triggering crash warnings and mudslide fears, especially around Sierra Madre's Eaton Fire burn scar where a big rig even ended up dangling off the 118.

California is soaked — last year alone, 650 trillion pounds of rainwater fell on the state, and another powerful system is rolling in. Forecasters warn of flooding during the morning commute, especially in Malibu burn scar areas, where the LAFD is pre-positioning crews in anticipation of mudslides and debris flow. In Torrance, a shocking attack unfolded at a local school where three people were stabbed. Police arrested a former student who also claimed to have planted two pipe bombs nearby — prompting an urgent investigation and lockdowns in the area. Overseas, hope and heartbreak collided as hostages and prisoners were released after 738 days, marking the start of a fragile ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict. The hour wrapped with safety tips for residents in flood-prone zones — including evacuation alerts and a new alternative to sandbags: Quick Dam barriers, which activate and expand when exposed to water.

Olivia and I share some stories of the flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Pricilla. We both ask if animals sense floods before they happen and share a couple of amazing stories out of Camp Verde, AZ. Olivia gives details on a church that gets ripped off by garment thieves and I raise concerns over the black market international garment disaster. The Navajo Tribal Council and President Nygren go to battle over the budget. We hit on Columbus Day and Indigenous People's Day and a conflict that doesn't have to exist and Olivia shares listener comments  including one from Cormac in Ireland.

It's one of the biggest corruption scandals the Philippines has seen since the final years of dictator Ferdinand Marcos. The government has admitted that 70 percent of the funds allocated for flood control measures have been embezzled since 2023, including a staggering eight billion euros in 2025 alone. Chloe Borgnon, Constantin Simon, Justin McCurry, and Aruna Popuri report from Manila Bay.

Florida federal judge ordered Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man charged in the deadly Palisades Fire, to remain jailed after prosecutors cited his arsonist tendencies and his family's concerns over his declining mental state. The judge questioned both his mental health and his reliability to attend future hearings in California. Flood watch was issued in San Bernardino County through Saturday night amid heavy downpours. The LAFD also released after-action reports on the Palisades Fire. Interim LAFD Chief Ronnie Villaneuva discussed what he would have done differently during the January 7th blaze. Norwalk resident Andrew Garcia, who spent hundreds on tickets for what he believed to be LeBron James' retirement game, filed a small claims lawsuit against the Lakers star for $865.66, accusing him of fraud and misrepresentation after the “Second Decision” turned out not to be about retirement. 

This week on bigcitysmalltown, we examine the present and future of San Antonio's water supply—a topic at the center of new rate increase discussions and long-term regional planning. San Antonio has quietly become a national leader in water conservation, with steady water use despite decades of rapid population growth, distinguishing itself from many fast-growing Texas cities now facing water shortages.Host Cory Ames sits down with Robert Puente, CEO of the San Antonio Water System (SAWS), to discuss how decades of planning, innovation, and strategic failures led to San Antonio's robust and diversified water portfolio. They explore the historical context behind recent rate hikes, how SAWS manages a “wet water” supply, and the implications of upcoming infrastructure investments.This episode addresses:• The origins and timeline of San Antonio's water conservation success• Why San Antonio draws on multiple water sources—and what that means for resilience• The rationale behind the anticipated rate increase, what it would fund, and how residents can hold SAWS accountable• Major challenges ahead, from aging wastewater infrastructure to climate change and regional growth• How SAWS is planning for the city's future needs, including conservation targets and adaptation to extreme weatherPuente also discusses the unique rule changes that govern local aquifers, collaboration (and competition) with neighboring cities, and how San Antonio's approach could serve as a model for regional water strategy.For those invested in San Antonio's long-term sustainability, water security, and civic planning, this episode offers an in-depth look at one of the city's most critical—and often overlooked—success stories.RECOMMENDED NEXT LISTEN:▶️ #131.

As fall arrives, many regions experience dramatic weather shifts—think early frosts, storms, or unusual temperature swings. Last year, we sat down with Noah Diffenbaugh, an expert on climate change. We discussed the fact that extreme weather is becoming more frequent. Noah pointed out that there are still things we can do to mitigate the impacts of severe weather. We hope you'll take another listen to this episode to learn about the solutions that are within reach. Have a question for Russ?

Guest: Dr. Rachel MuncriefWhen we think about tackling climate change, it's easy to picture solar panels and wind farms. But there's another piece of the puzzle that impacts us all, every single day: how we get from point A to point B. Transportation accounts for a major share of global greenhouse gas emissions, but it's also an area of rapid innovation and urgent opportunity. From cleaner fuels in shipping lanes to electric trucks on highways, the road to a stable climate runs straight through the way we travel and transport goods. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Rachel Muncrief from The International Council on Clean Transportation, which is an organization leading the charge to transform global transportation systems with science-backed policy and practical solutions. We'll talk about where progress is being made, what challenges remain, and why rethinking transportation is critical for a climate-resilient future.
