When did they start lacing the weather reports with all this fear porn? Every time its the end of the world with the "potential" of severe weather with thunderstorms.

[Karliner]

Yes, heavy rains.

Whose bright idea were these “atmospheric rivers”? Gretel Thunderbutt?

"When did they start lacing the weather reports with all this fear porn?"

When were the terms "Global Warming" and "Climate Change" start being used?

[Alas Babylon!]

You left out “Human-caused” atmospheric rivers.

No, let me correct that: “Capitalist, white Supremacy, patriarchal, Christian nationalist, Zionist, Trump Magat” human-caused atmospheric rivers.

Like it never rains in Hawaii.

I was in Hilo on the Big Island once for 5 days, and it felt like it rained non-stop. Heavy rain too - SE Asian monsoon type stuff

Hawaii’s supreme court has effectively seceded the state from the United States so I don’t care what happens to them. They don’t recognize our Constitution and that’s where my concerns for them cease.

They make a big deal about everything , well they try to make a big deal about everything ,LOL

[Deaf Smith]

Hawaii is a rain forest, so they should expect it to rain.

About five or six years ago we stayed over on the dry side north of Kona. Drove up to Wiamea and down the northeast coast road to Hilo. Just for the day. We had lunch in downtown Hilo. We also went to some big waterfall right outside of Hilo. They had umbrellas to use for the walk through the park to the river.

On the north side of Hilo we drove through a rain storm where I wished that the wiper blades had another speed above high. Like hyper drive wiper speed. It came down in buckets. A local told me it happens all the time. Why do you think its so green over here?

Who is “they” zeeper?

[aquila48]

Is an atmospheric river what we used to call rain?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

It rains a lot in the tropics. Ask someone from India. Somerset Maugham wrote a famous story about it: Rain.

[Keyhopper]

In florida we get daily 2 until 4 just in time for traffic. Inches hah

[Harpotoo]

[OHPatriot]

Is there a danger of the islands sinking?
