dunno if anyones read this book by jg ballard but its kinda a fun read and weather related

basically a westwardly wind starts up at a few miles an hour across the whole globe and gets steadily stronger each day, day after day. soon people cant drive, soon rivers are picked up into the air, etc. and the main characters are trying to figure out how to get to what, if anything, would be safety

He cwrote it in like 2 weeks as a widower taking care of a newborn, so it's probably his worst book. Then again Ballard's GOAT so still worthwhile. The Drought and The Crystal World are miles better.

I read something from a “weather enthusiast” on twitter last night that Lee might get so strong it plows through and changes the trough. does that make any sense at all

No. That makes no sense.

Lee’s already rewriting the rules on cyclones, why not go for gold?

being interested in weather is such a conflicting thing sometimes. on the one hand, hurricane lee is loving amazing and exciting and i want to see what it can do and how much damage it could cause at landfall. i want to joke about it scouring florida off of the world map without any guilt. kinda like katrina -- whooooa, unprecedented weather event! so loving rad!

but then you see all the heartache, chaos, and wrecked homes and lives, and it feels awful. just awful. why did i cheer on that hurricane when it ended up doing that?

i want cool weather things to happen that don't end up hurting people. like, lee staying out in the ocean is objectively the best way for it to exist and be studied.

unrelated but my cat just took a poo poo and ran into the kitchen screaming at the tops of her lungs about how good of a poo poo it was. typical goon.

Probably not cuz there's gonna be another hurricane to the east and it's gonna attract Lee away toward to the east than going up north and west

It's the universe just smacking the poo poo out of all the folks talking about how New England, the Atlantic provinces, and the GL area would ride out climate change with minimal impacts
