Holy shit - up to a thousand people are missing

8. Climate-changing weather events are also bamboozling meteorologists' forecasts.

Storms don't seem to be behaving in usual predictable forecast scenarios, and meteorologists don't seem to have a grasp on how newer man-made infrastructure may impact weather or how historical constructions are placed in acutely dangerously new unpredictable weather situations. In my area, they are tending to hedge their bets in favor of dangerous situations by announcing and alerting to "maybe" directional on the way events, but I'm thinking: Prepare anyway!

So sad re Hawaii - So many have been displaced and unable to communicate. Now, because of greed and greedy man-made climate change, events on two islands I visited in the early 70s can never be re-visited on a bucket list. The beauty and magic have been decimated. Wonder if it was "safe" even then...Maybe I need to pull out boxed and stored photos and hope for the best; never digitized them. But then...how fast the half-century has flown by...all things considered, I'm grateful I survived at all.
