This will be the least amount of news coverage of the weather you'll ever see again.

If only we could have seen this coming....

Yes we actually do have the ability to track hurricanes quite effectively.

Is there an equivalent to r/woosh yet?

In any case, yes, but I was also referring to climate as a whole. I realize sarcasm doesn't translate well over text sometimes.

Wrong. At one point they will become silent

There's similarly awful things going on all over currently. Wildfires, bleached corals, oil and toxic waste spills, flooding, catastrophic storms, it all gets to be depressing. But the good news is that more people than ever are aware and ready to make changes. I just hope enough of us are ready to live small lives in tight-knit communities where we don't rely so heavily on consumerist BS to live.

Oh, don’t worry, we will have plenty of wildfires, once the plants from this rain all die. Our next fire season is going to be VERY very bad here in San Diego. We’ve had a very wet winter/year and now this.

Man I hope some of this trickles down to AZ. We haven't had a monsoon season in years, and that's where the vast majority of our rainfall comes from! Hopefully this hurricane will hit hard enough to make it inland and save us from this drought.

Isn’t there a highly increased risk for floods when you get severe rainfall after a drought?
