🇺🇸🌧 2025 is quickly becoming “The Year of the Flood” in the United States.
So far, 3,358 Flash Flood Warnings have been issued, over 250 more than the next closest year to date.
The US has already surpassed its annual average for flash flood reports, with more than double the typical number seen by this point in the year.
The Texas floods, which have tragically claimed at least 145 lives, are now the deadliest non-tropical cyclone-related flood event in the US since 1976.
Abnormally high levels of atmospheric moisture are expected to persist over the Central and Eastern US for the next two weeks, so expect more flooding.

The WHO now states on its website:
Vaccination against COVID-19 can trigger multiple sclerosis through cross-reactive CD4+-T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.
In other words: Your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
