In the dystopian climate
In the dystopian climate change novel Water Knife the Gulf Coast refuges who try to escape repeated hurricanes that hit year after year don't do well after the states close their boarders. Meanwhile I have friends staying staying at my house this weekend to escape the smoke in the foothills. Placerville AQI was over 1000 today.
I know someone who has been investing in real estate in Ohio that might be the right move at this point.

OVER 1000? Wow! When it was over 500 here last year I wore an KN95 mask in my old air-leaky house, even to sleep. So nice they can stay with you. The air quality in Grass Valley seems quite a bit better than it has been.

I smiled but I blinked, can you take another one ? Poor Cuba, they've been takin it on the chin lately. The Weather Channel has it heading straight to New Orleans. Not again !!! The severe weather is everywhere these days it seems. Who's got the best weather in this damn country, anybody know ? Who here hasn't had shit happen in a while ? Fires, floods, tornados, earth quakes, hurricanes, we got em all,, and they're all amped up by global warming.
Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy
Understand, it's time to get ready for the storm

Didn't know that. I was looking at real estate prices in Minneapolis but they are smoked in from a wild fire this year too. I know some people who are moving to Coos Bay to get away, but I think Brent said it best. You can run but you can't hide.
And to add insult to injury my friends near Placerville can't leave until the power goes back on which PG&E has shut off once again. They have enough solar to run their property and invested in battery back up so they don't need to be on the grid anymore. They had it all set up to go in April and needed to unhook their whole house back up generator in order to get the final approval from PG&E for their batteries. PG&E still hasn't come so the batteries are just sitting their and they can't use them.

I've heard Minn and upstate NY will be boom areas due to heat and water demands in the future but it's just a guess.
I wish the people of these southern states well. Let's hope the damage is minimal and they just stay inside for a few days and slow the spread of the virus.

I hope we'll do a better job of rescue and mitigation than we did last time.
Those new storm surge levees and pumping upgrades have never really been put to the test - let's hope they hold up.

And since that last post, lightning is occurring in the eastern eye wall, as the much anticipated explosion occurs, with Ida jumping to a Cat 4 storm now (130mph winds);
I don't think i've ever seen this much lightning in an eye wall before, it's actually unusual (outer bands, sure, but not the eye), no bueno

Hurricane Ida Discussion
Hurricane Ida Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092021 400 AM CDT Sun Aug 29 2021
Ida has undergone some dramatic inner-core structural changes since the previous advisory. The eye between 25,000-45,000 ft has become
circular with a diameter of about 15 nmi now, and at least two eyewall mesocyclones have been noted rotating cyclonically around the eyewall in both radar and high-resolution 1-minute GOES-16 satellite imagery. The result has been rapid strengthening of at least 30 kt during the past 6 hours, along with a pressure drop of more than 15 mb during that same time, with a 6-mb decrease having occurred in the 1-hr period between about 0500-0600 UTC based on Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft eye dropsonde data. The aircraft also measured a maximum 700-mb flight-level wind speed of 133 kt in the northeastern quadrant, along with a peak SFMR surface wind speed of 116 kt. Furthermore, NWS Doppler radar velocity data from Slidell, Louisiana, has recently been measuring velocities of
120-130 kt between 25,000-30,000 ft, which is quite rare, and indicates that Ida is a vertically deep and intense hurricane. Ida was initialized with 115 kt at 0600 UTC, but the 0900 UTC advisory intensity has been increased to 120 kt based on the 133-kt flight-level wind and the improved structure in both radar data and
satellite imagery since the 0609 UTC time of that aircraft observation.
