| + | In the first twelve days of August, twelve inches of rain fell on Russia s Amur and Khabarovsk regions. So far, authorities have evacuated at least 16,000 people and the floods have affected 98,800 people in the region.

| + | The Far East encountered an unprecedented disaster. The local old-timers don��t remember ever seeing a flood of such magnitude when the water rose so high in Khabarovsk, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and in the Jewish Autonomous Region.

This does make you realize you��re dealing with a disaster. The scope of that disaster was just enormous | ||

| + | While all we know for certain about these floods is that they are caused by historic rainfall in the region, climate change causes more extreme rainfall events. As National Center for Atmospheric Research senior scientist Kevin Trenberth , A warmer climate therefore increases risks of both drought where it is not raining and floods where it is but at different times and/or places. | ||
