Imagine there’s a biblical plague-like amount of rain over weeks in a very red state like Alabama. The locals say it probably hasn’t rained this much in that time span in 100s of years. Scientists say the rain might be a one in 1,000 year event. And then there are a few ginormous mudslides that coincidentally happens in a way that kill more than 100 people.

Already happened in WNC, and the Republican response was that the hurricane was created/controlled by Democrats using Jewish Space Lasers to kill off Republican voters. That might get old after a few more super-storms, though.
