I remember reading a bunch of "huh, that's weird, the water's super warm but it's been a pretty mild hurricane season" columns last year. Maybe the result of warm water past a certain point is less more intense hurricanes and more stuff like this.
Also, as a millennial in his mid-30s, all these "once in a <long ass amount of time>" events happening just in my adult life are starting to lose their punch. Given the severity of the yield curve inversion I'm expecting a "once in a century" recession/depression in the next five years, and given the number of disease research facilities coming online another "once in a century" pandemic some time in the next 20 when one of them messes something up, accompanied by "once in 1000 year" weather along the coastal areas at least every few years. And possibly some political militancy from one side or another as people are pushed passed their breaking point by all of this and more. However the US won't default on its debt as there are too many rich softies who would be hurt (in ego if not in reality) by it and will lobby to make sure it doesn't happen, so at least we have that, for now.
Anyone want to bet I'm wrong? Build your walls high and/or get aggressive, it's going to be a rough few decades. Vulnerability will be punished worse than in the previous era.
