A Maryland School Needed Boats to Rescue Students From A School

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Maryland, an area not typically prone to flooding, has experienced a severe flood event. Around 150 elementary students and 50 adults were evacuated using rescue boats when waters rose above the second floor of a school. McIntyre highlights this as evidence that extreme weather events are shifting geographically, with floods now occurring in regions not historically affected—signaling a broader transformation in U.S. climate patterns.
