There was a massive hurricane that originated near the SW of coast of Mexico earlier in the week. I watched it travel in a near straight line for Hawaii over several days. It ended up taking a swipe at the south coast of the big island and dissipated as it melded with clouds coming from the west immediately afterward.

Looks like a repeat performance is in the making.

It’s like people want to see a bunch of Karens and Kens going all Bridezilla.

The guy who posted the Twitter, commenting on how their money won’t save them. Well, right, Local Guy, but as it happens all those blondies are bringing their money into a state that has only one major industry: tourism.

. . . not so much when houses and people are swept out to sea. We are and have been so ignorant and la-de-dah about global warming. I'll be eighty in October, so won't see the worst that is coming. Oh, what we have wrought.
