If you have a minute, send a thought or two to those affected by Hurricane Florence on the East Coast of the USA, mostly in the Carolinas so far. As of today, twelve are dead, a million are without power, and untold numbers have evacuated their homes to safer grounds. Some areas have gotten 30" of rain.

The weather experts are calling hurricane Florence another one of those 1,000 year events. Meanwhile, the list of retired hurricane names is increasing.

And to think that some people still don't believe that global warming is impacting our planet. Good grief!

In another part of the world, Typhoon Mangkhut is causing death and destruction:

Interesting read on the “retired” list, Nancy.

For the full impact of the storm, you need to see the graphics on the Weather Channel, Trevor. Stephen Colbert has included them in the first minute of this clip for our convenience. This is a must-see weather graphic.

They had the solution right there in that graphic. Connect up one of those big fire truck pump hoses to the hydrant, and move the lever all the way round to SUCK. They could connect the other end to Lake Mead, or anywhere likely to have brush fires next summer. Sorted (as Noel Gallagher would say).

Good idea, Trevor—they had better be quick before those boaters go right over the edge and spill onto dry land!
