So far we’ve covered 2017 Hurricane Irma in the Florida Keys, 1999 Hurricane Floyd in Kinston, NC, and the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa, CA.
The past few week’s fires in LA fit into this pattern. The choices we make about where we settle and what investments we make to slow/reverse/adapt to climate change are the most importantly decisions, but I fear it’s too late with our current geopolitical alignment.

Just covered Houston’s Allison and Harvey. Always glad I escaped that city when I did and never had to suffer through one of the disasters.

Twentieth century drilling for oil in south Louisiana prompts changing of the landscape for industry, sinking of the land, and burning of fossil fuels that in turn fuels climate change and more destructive flooding.
I think a lot about large cultures and civilizations vanishing due to cataclysm, invasion, and plague, but it’s surreal to think that we’re watching little vanishings happen in real time.

The short stories of each disaster and how it all winds together for the larger picture is a great way to tell this story that we’re experiencing every day.
