And yet our climate change denialists insist its just weather, and that Net Zero is the economic devil. Im an environmental scientist and engineer with substantial disaster management and policy experience. One or two very large events can totally eclipse the cost to economy of reducing emissions and focussing on long term stable low emission power. Those very large events are becoming more common. A couple of years…

yes but if it doesn't effect them think of all that profit they'll have lost for the rich shareholders. did you ever stop to think of the billionaires?! no you didn't because you wanted a nice planet for everyone and all the animals. Shame on you!!!

last "supper" el nino was 2014/15 and localy there was water effect snow comming of the Bay of Fundy that just didn't stop, and at one point I called the dog off the roof as he simply walked up the snow bank to check things out. I am getting ready now and hope to have a simple plan in place to sit things out. water effect snow happens when colder hummid air hits warmer open water, and will produce a blizard without actual clouds as the whole thing happens horizontaly and is often hyper local, but can produce truely prodigious amounts of snow. Zero atlantic hurricane weather so far, but a pause in the wind sheer keeping them down could happen without notice, and basicly everybody should be doing there due dilligance for whatever the local extreams can be going forward.

Chicago?

Unlikely since they used the term cyclone, probably Australia as that's the sort of place they would most likely do something like that and have someone posting on hacker news about it.

Im guessing Perth or Sydney. A big cyclone hitting either would be... non ideal.

Also, further south in Australia than is currently typical, since big cyclones hit northern cities relatively frequently.
