Big thunderstorms
It was pouring rain for a while here. Still raining now, just not as hard. Is the world ending? We’ve had a lot of extreme weather lately (crazy snowstorms, severe thunderstorms, power outages nearby, flash floods, record-breaking heat), and that pattern has been worse other places. There’s been major flooding everywhere, it seems. Maybe The Day After Tomorrow is happening, just a little slower than in the movie.
Or maybe not. It’s entirely possible that this is fairly typical summer weather that I just happen to be old enough to pay attention to and think is unusual and that the freak snowstorms were just that. Freakish. Likely, even. (That it’s typical, not that it’s freakish – wait. Not that the snowstorms were likely…Did I just contradict myself? Ignore the badly worded thought, please.)
Am I really talking about the weather?

Global warming = more extreme weather patterns. Colder winters, hotter summers, bigger storms. Go ask Senor Gore.
