"I tried to warn people. Except that the warning was not well received by everyone. A person accused me of being a “climate militant,” a suggestion that I’m embellishing extreme weather threats to drive an agenda. Another simply said that my predictions were “an exaggeration.”
But it wasn’t an exaggeration."
- John Morales, atmospheric and environmental scientist and a fellow of the American Meteorological Society

@WDEFAustenOnek something the guy in that article said about people not building in harm's way... We thought we were building out of harm's way. My point is that there is no such place anymore.
@Lindy @WDEFAustenOnek where isn’t in harms way now? All of the west coast is a fire risk, plus floods and extreme snow events. The Gulf is a danger always, tornado alley, Arctic clippers and bomb cyclones. Nowhere is out of harms way these days.
