One of the depressing effects of climate change in California is that “fire season” is rapidly approaching a year-round phenomenon now. Looks like the East Coast is in a similar situation with hurricanes. Choose your disaster, I guess…

Hey man, hoping you and yours are going to come through this thing ok.
I realize y’all are probably really really busy right now.
Please let us know how you fare.
I’ve texted my extended fam in Orlando (no response yet).
My guess is that they are really really busy right now (too).
Hang in there, y’all.

There was just a NYTimes article about how many of hardest hit areas in the recent hurricane had previously been considered “climate havens” - but there wasn’t any such thing, anywhere, now.

This past weekend I passed through a hamlet of about 250 people in western Wisconsin. No surprise, but there’s not exactly a large tax base for this wide spot in the road. (Actually it’s not even that wide – there are buildings that have their front doors separated from a busy highway by a very narrow sidewalk.) It’s like a combination of the worst parts of rural life and small town living – poor and run down.
In the last few years there’s been some money coming into the area thanks to the new wind farm, paid for by green energy funding from the state courtesy of our Democrat governor and other benefits from the federal level, again, thanks to Democrats. The town is, of course, currently plastered over with Trump signs everywhere.
Look, I get feeling like you need a hand can be depressing. I know all too well how difficult it can be to ask for help when you need it. I’m not expecting anyone to just roll over and wag their tail like they’re getting a treat. It just amazes me how a community can be actively harmed by one group, assisted by another, then clamor for the return of the first.
Then again I grew up in an abusive household, so perhaps I shouldn’t be amazed at all.

I was just reading how Tampa hasn’t been directly hit by a hurricane in 100 years. All that extremely warm Gulf Stream water is sure as hell going to reverse that pattern… (I know someone who recently moved to that area, encouraged, I think, by the historic lack of destructive weather. Oh well.)
