We do have lots of water in California! I mean, the true California, Northern California. And yes, it's seasonal and depends on the snowpack, but it's there. We divert it to fields to grow acres and acres of not-naturally-occuring-and-extremely-water-hungry rice and almonds. And we also destroy local habitats to make dams and construct artificial lakes and ship all this seasonal water down open-air canals to fake California, Southern California.

Haha yeah. But you can move water. You can’t move growing seasons or open land. So :shrug:

you sure can move growing seasons, just increase the global temp by a few deg C and they'll quite handily head north

Its pretty rare. According to this wikipedia article it's the 3rd time there has been 2 tropical storms in May

The TS is apparently 20 miles north of me but I'm getting 0 wind and it stopped raining like an hour ago.

That storm won't go anywhere near America based on its location.

I'm sure having a third tropical cyclone form in the atlantic basin in May is perfectly normal

Weird. It's also extremely weird WHERE the storm is forming. Usually waters that north and that close to the continent are too cold to create a storm.

doesnt this happen fairly regularly tho

quote:

“Yellowstone is one of the most seismically active areas in the United States,” the park said on its website. “Approximately 700 to 3,000 earthquakes occur each year in the Yellowstone area; most are not felt.”

Earthquakes in Yellowstone typically happen in swarms, according to the park.

ya, we're probably gonna have to rely on a different cataclysmic event. luckily we still have a few options in that area

The UK is already a bit warm. Last year was pretty intense & I bet the Aussie's are making GBS threads themselves already.

Pretty bad. It was an extremely dry year here in California, everything started blooming and dying early because of early sun and winter ending early. some major fires are def gunna happen in august. It also could be the start of a new drought cycle, we've been pretty lucky the last 2 or 3 years with atmospheric river events after a real bad 5-year drought preceeding that and our reservoirs are generally pretty full; but another couple of years like this and it'll get bad again. and although residential water isn't a problem this year, this is still bad from a wildfire point of view with lots of poo poo just dying quicker and becoming tinder

PacNW is in a similar boat with pretty little amount of rain this year and lots of forests that could go up in flames. it used to be pretty notorious for lots of rainfall but it's been low
