Unusual Violent Weather

If you live in an area that is known for violent weather,
then you are probably accustomed to severe storms.
But it’s quite another thing to live well outside the
range of hurricanes, say in Sweden, and then wake
up to a tropical storm bearing down on you.
Unfortunately, this is what our global environment
has seen in some recent years. Preparedness is a key component of
sustainable development, but this is complicated by climate change.
The whole point is that you don’t know what could happen because
“normal” simply doesn’t apply anymore.
Preparedness scenarios become a problematic situation particularly for
folks who didn’t think to have a tornado escape plan for their trailer
park in January. Springtime used to be the “normal” time of year to
expect tornado activity. Preparedness may need some revision in Oregon,
USA, as its citizens are becoming acquainted with the sort of fire seasons
that Californians can now only dream about.
Then, ask the folks in sunny Los Angeles who wrecked their cars trying to
navigate a freak blizzard or truckers that got stuck in the mountains
during an early August white out.
Prepare to be amazed as chaotic weather becomes even more violent and
dangerous as our Earth tries to adjust itself in the wake of this fever
that mankind seems to have caused for her.
