Unless we change our ways, stuff like what Florida is coping with now may become more frequent & perhaps more widespread.

We may eventually end up living on the alps; what's left of them.

This is what a 15 foot hurricane storm surge looks like. It's terrifying.

Hope everyone got the hell out..

Things don't seem as bad as they could have been, those unexpected tornadoes killed a few people and more did die but it looks as if the storm was much reduced after landfall.

I think people have turned around and are heading back to the houses they abandoned.

Well isn't this a positive thing? The Sahara desert going green and people complaining?
You can't make this shit up!
And let's all blame this on global warming top along with everything else that's going on!
Firstly there are massive tree planting efforts going on there in an effort to stop the desert expanding south.
These trees are going to love all that water.
Secondly, all that dry soil won't absorb all that water at once, so of course it will flood.
I hope this trend in the weather continues, we might see rainforest return to that part of the continent which will only be a good thing.

in isolation it's not necessarily a bad thing no - but I guess the concern is what it represents.

Rainforest? That thing that takes hundreds of years to grow that people can burn down in days to make room for mines and cattle farming?

That rainforest?
