That’s going to affect an insane amount of people. I hope they are having evacuations now. Although I wonder where so many people even temporarily relocate to? Do keep us updated, it’s alwasy best to hear from an insider with type of thing. And please evacuate if you need to, simply not worth the risk.
Yeah I watch all the news channels on my phone and only some of them briefly mentioned it. Still, you can’t say that American news sufficiently covers foreign matters. Too focused on what Trump did or didn’t do, and how amazing he is or how retched he is.
We had a great monsoon season a good amount of rain but I always pray for more!I wish there was some way to capture some of the water and send it west
Since January? That’s crazy. If only we could send it...The BBC (and the Economist) do a better job covering US news than US news organizations - who today come off (to me) like they are just recycling whatever they read on Twitter.
Back to the subject of the thread... we haven't seen a drop of rain since January(?) Though I appreciate the damage this storm is doing in the East, I wish there was some way to capture some of the water and send it west
Well...I have this to say about the Azores. The country is run by a bunch of social misfits that know nothing of conservatism and harbor the same feelings as communist nations around the world. The people there are ignorant of politics , uneducated or they would revolt. and..... frankly, it adds nothing to the world economy.
Hard to believe that my wish for someones well being could lead to such hatred.
Don't want to go too deep into this. I do not like the swing this thread has taken either. Yet, this comment is a little off-sided. Fact is, USA has decided to step out of the Paris climate agreement and is effectively saying, there is no climate change. China has taken the opposite approach and is focussing on getting rid of fossile-fuels, and is actually a global leader in the actions taken to reduce non-renewable energy use. It would have been nice if the USA would have joint hands instead of playing ostrich (After all, why would you NOT change to renewables, irrespective of climate change discussions; I for one prefer clean air).

First off.
Mike. Really? Come on.
Save me the sanctimonious bullshit, please. Have you ever been to China? Saying that the Chinese are leading the way to "clean air" has got to be one of the most laughable things I've ever read on the internet. I live in the 6th largest metropolitan region in the USA and I'll take the air quality here over any place in China. I wasn't particularly happy either when we pulled out of the Paris Accord, but I doubt it will impact carbon emissions here and world wide significantly. Money will, though. When renewable/green energy becomes more affordable and accessible, it'll replace fossil fuels........ and we will still have devastating hurricanes and typhoons.Neither storm is a joke, and I think everyone agrees this is a messed up situation to be in, facing such a storm 'coming for ya'. I do wish all a safe passing of the storm with lots of candle-light dinners enjoyed with a strong glass of wine. Make the best of it.
