Climate Change? Nahhh ...

Let's ask Norilsk how they refer to events that have a 0.1 percent chance of occurring in a given year.

 

It wasn't, and you know it wasn't. The context of the conversation is clear: it was regarding the decades-long megadrought likely exacerbated by climate change, not what governmental definitions of current on-the-ground water conditions are. Which was exactly the point of the Washington Post posted earlier: the water woes aren't over.

But if you want to reduce it to semantics... congratulations, no drought!

 

Okaaaayyyyy

 

Next time we get some rain in LA

Even for this site, the “Is California still in a drought?” argument might be the dumbest argument I’ve ever seen.

And I’ve seen some seriously dumb ones.

 

Nothing will ever be dumber than scolding Californians to 'rake the forests' better - nothing.

 

Let's check in on Jeebus Tebow Brigham for West Coast reaction.

 

I was doing a little volunteer work tonight in the newsroom for WORT-FM (89.9 in Madison WI) when reports came through that two tornadoes were tracked south of the city. Wisconsin had NEVER recorded a tornado in February prior to this evening;. I pulled together some storm reports on deadline, a specialty at my old haunt in Milwaukee.

I ain't dead yet.

 

I was in a north Jersey restaurant some years ago for Patch when we got a Nixle alert for a possible tornado. I saw through the floor to ceiling windows the weather turn from fair to ugly inside of 30 seconds. Not eager to be cut to ribbons, I planned to dash into the walk-in refrigerator when calm returned. A few miles away, Dad swore he saw a funnel cloud.

 

No data yet, but an earthquake just hit Los Angeles.
That's after a 6.3 hit Hawaii about an hour ago.

EDIT: Sounds like the L.A. earthquake was only about a 4.5, but it lasted long enough for people to really feel it.
