A sudden increase in floods over the past few years is being attributed to climate change by many scientists.
Climate change is never going to announce itself by name. But this is what we should expect it to look like.
That’s what many scientists, analysts and activists are saying after heavy rains in southern Louisiana have killed at least 11 people and forced tens of thousands of residents from their homes, in the latest in a series of extreme floods that have occurred in the United States over the last two years.
That increase in heavy rainfall and the resultant flooding “is consistent with what we expect to see in the future if you look at climate models,” said David Easterling, a director at the National Centers for Environmental Information, which is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Not just in the U.S. but in many other parts of the world as well.”
The flooding in Louisiana is the eighth event since May of last year in which the amount of rainfall in an area in a specified window of timematches or exceeds the NOAA predictions for an amount of precipitation that will occur once every five hundred years, or has a 0.2 percent chance of occurring in any given year.
Louisiana joins five other states, most of them in the South, that have experienced deadly flooding in the last 15 months, including Oklahoma,Texas, South Carolina and West Virginia.
In the last three months alone, floods in Maryland, West Virginia and Louisiana have combined to kill dozens of people and damage tens of thousands of homes and vehicles.
The National Weather Service reports that parts of Louisiana have received as much as 31 inches of rain in the last week, a number Dr. Easterling called “pretty staggering,” and one that exceeds an amount of precipitation that his center predicts will occur once every thousand years in the area.

However, this surge of major flooding around the world is unprecedented in our lifetime and seems to coincide with the time that Neptune, the planet that rules the oceans and water as well as spirituality and creativity, entered its own sign of Pisces in 2011-2012, the year Sky News said was one of the wettest years ever in the UK. That year also saw record breaking flooding in Japan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Pakistan and Minnesota to name only a few.
The record breaking rains and flooding have continued since then and will likely continue until Neptune leaves Pisces for Aries in 2025. Since Pluto will be entering Aquarius in 2023-2024 and drying out the planet, these rains and flooding could be a real boon to humanity if the water they are generating are handled properly.
Meanwhile I see this as one more way in which astrology continues to explain the unexplainable.
I’ve heard Louisiana has a Pisces Moon. Not sure how accurate that is though but the chart of the State’s capital can be found online.
Any insights on the extreme fires in the West? California isn’t going to have much land left that is untouched by these infernos. I have lived here 60+ years and never seen anything like these “fire storms”.
Uranus IS in Aries, Pisces Girl, and it is kicking up a fuss along with Neptune in Pisces. And then we have Pluto in Capricorn with potential for earthquakes and infrastructure issues, so we really need our governments to stop squabbling over the stupid and start preparing for the future!
“Predictions for an amount of precipitation that will occur once every five hundred years, astrology continues to explain the unexplainable.”
This is nothing out of the ordinary, the earth is a living and breathing organism which is always changing. 4000 years ago Babylon lush and green, why? Because the glaciers had melted.
