Warmer and wetter

It's not just the coasts that have to worry about global warming.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Up to 200,000 people in the Wilkes-Barre area were ordered to evacuate their homes Wednesday because of rising water on the Susquehanna River, swelled by a record-breaking deluge that has killed at least 10 people across the Northeast.

If water that has been frozen for centuries suddenly returns to the earth's system in liquid form, I think it's reasonable to expect more rain.
