Rare Rains Bring a Watery Transformation
Over two days in September, southeastern Morocco witnessed record-breaking rainfall. In Tagounite, a village about 450 kilometers south of Rabat, more than 100 millimeters (3.9 inches) of rain fell in just 24 hours-a figure that surpasses the region’s annual average. This unexpected deluge has reshaped the Sahara’s landscape, including the dramatic reappearance of Lake Iriqui, a lake bed that had been bone-dry for 50 years.

Satellite imagery from NASA vividly captured the transformation. “It’s been 30 to 50 years since we’ve seen this much rain in such a short time,” said Houssine Youabeb of Morocco’s General Directorate of Meteorology.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It's caused by global warming, of course. :whistle:
