Ep: 052 - Historic Flooding

from Environmentally Speaking Hosted by Environmentally Speaking

Rhode Island, has had a very dry summer season and it’s unusual to have so much rain fall in a very short time in the month of September, but that’s what happen last week. In this episode we are going to discuss the historic amount of rain fall that we experienced last week. We had so much rain that it actually flooded Interstate 95 in Providence at what’s called the Thurbers Avenue curve. The interstate was shut down for hours. We discuss how some people tried pushing through the flooded area in their vehicles and what the outcome was because of their decision. We want to give a HUGE shoutout to all the first responders that came out to help and a very special shoutout out to the Messer Street Fire Station. Have you ever driven through a flooded area? If so, we want to hear from you! Take a listen

Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people. Ukraine - History in the Making Emil Juhler When I started the conversation series ”Ukraine - History in the Making” I could have never imagined where this journey would lead me. It all started in March 2023 after I got home from an exchange stay in Chile and felt, that I had to do more for Ukraine, than what I did on my social media accounts and on the streets in the spring and summer of 2022. I think most of us remember that initial period after Ruzzia’s the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Speaking from a European/Danish point of view it was a time of big fear, desperation and uncertainty, but also a time of high hopes, energy and big solidarity. In the very first conversation of the show with Veronika Netrebenko, she says the following about the feelings of Ukrainians during the Maidan Revolution: ”We understood we gotta fight for it, and it was something totally different, we felt different, we felt that we need to fight for it”. To a certain degree I believe you can say the same about what happened within the hearts and mi
