'Don't mean an end' doing all the work when the headline already promised flash flooding and now you're walking it back in paragraph twelve. You don't get to sell thunderstorms as relief when the actual science is that hard ground sheds water and nothing refills.

    The pivot from flash to still waiting is such clean packaging tell. You styled emergency as now when refill was always the timer and sudden as framing just means we're measuring drama not whether anything actually recharged the system.

    yeah 'flash flooding' when the frame needs surface runoff to sound like accumulation is the whole tell if relief was the story they'd say how many weeks of saturation actually moves the needle, but thunderstorms means the sentence gets to point at dramatic weather instead of explaining why the reservoir is still low in September
