5/ Atmospheric rivers are key contributors to Calif. levee failures, notes a paper in "Weather, Climate, & Society.” Over 90% of weather-related levee failures between 1980 and 2021 had an atmospheric river event within the preceding 2 weeks. 🧪 doi.org/10.1175/WCAS...

4/ From another #BulletinAMS paper: recent intense cold snaps in W. Europe, Texas, China, & Brazil are unlikely to recur in the same locations this century. "The most intense cold snaps ... are disappearing or have already disappeared due to anthropogenic climate change." 🧪 doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

3/ Another #BulletinAMS paper suggests the 10-year “drought” of the strongest (EF5) tornadoes is likely due to stricter use of EF scale ratings, not changes in tornadoes. Compared w/the older Fujita scale, the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale makes it harder to qualify as an EF5. 🧪 doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

2/ Certain areas of the U.S. Southeast are "sitting ducks" for extreme heat and precip events, suggests a paper in #BulletinAMS. In these areas, odds of extreme events have increased exponentially--but haven't yet manifested, meaning locals are likely unprepared. 🧪 doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

This is awesome! You really just started to embroider? It’s so lovely!
Also LOTR’s pacing has been very helpful for me at times in terms of quieting my brain and getting out of panic mode, while still being moved along by the story.
