rhode island's no stranger to heavy precipitation. in 2010, we saw flooding that exceeded anything we've seen since the 1870's when rhode island started first keeping records. at the height of the rains, streets in many rhode island cities and towns looked more like rivers than roads. local emergency workers sailed down providence street, a main road in west warwick, by boat and jet ski, down a main road, on boats and jet skis in order to assist residents frapped trapped by the floodwaters. of course we can't link that exact storm to climate change but we know that climate change is increasing the risk of events like this one. it is loading the dice for more and worse storms. as a new englander, i was concerned by a report released this week by environment america, when it rains it pours. the report found that in new england i quote, "intense reforms and snowstorms are happening 85% more often than in 1848. the frequency of intense rain or snowstorms nearly doubled in vermont and rhode island, and more than doubled in new hampshire."
