There has never been a month quite like July 2025.  We are only about halfway through the month, and there has already been more than a dozen catastrophic flooding events around the world.  As you will see below, many of those flooding events have occurred in the United States, and now forecasters are warning us that more flooding is on the way.  Yesterday, I talked about how one prominent meteorologist has declared 2025 to be "the year of the flood", and he is not exaggerating one bit.

In this article, I wanted to put together a complete timeline of events in order to give my readers a more complete picture of what has been happening all over the world.  What we have been witnessing is totally insane, and there is nothing remotely "normal" about it.  The following is a timeline of 13 catastrophic flooding events in just 13 days…

Flooding began on the morning of July 4, after significant rainfall accumulated across Central Texas. Six flash flood emergency warnings, which included the cities of Kerrville and Mason, were issued the same day. The Guadalupe River rose about 26 ft (7.9 m) in 45 minutes.[4] It surged an estimated 29 ft (8.8 m) in the Hunt area, where more than 20 children were declared missing from a summer camp.
