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.

Mangkhut hit the Philippines as a full category 5 hurricane. Florence was downgraded to category 1 before it reached the coast. Of course, wind speed is only part of the story.
