Great find, Patrick. And more superficially,
a bunch of levees have been breached,
apparently because there haven't been the
funds to maintain them properly.
So let's review what we have:
1. People build on flood plains.
2. People convert wetlands to farmland,
raising runoff volume.
3. People under-maintain levees.
4. People say the floods are an act of God.
It would appear the Maharishi Effect does not
have to temper the weather. It needs to elicit
more intelligent decisions from people.
While I'm sure flood plain modification does have something to
contribute, I would suspect that this cannot or will not account for
11 feet over previous records. That's a huge amount. Having been in a
number of floods on the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers where radical
modification of the river banks has taken place, we still never have
seen anything on this scale.
That's not to say that the ME is to blame, the ME always was and
still is a marketing ploy targeted at the "green meme" market
segment. It's alleged basis, normal everyday alpha coherence, has no
true scientific basis as in day to day living normal, non-TMer people
achieve this same level of coherence.
