Okay, So We Had Another Severe Storm . . .

It wasn't as bad as depicted in the stock photo above, to be certain, but it was bad enough.  Fortunately, it didn't last very long.

A strong cold front came through the American Northeast, with storms producing wind gusts at a mile a minute and the storms themselves moving at about the same rate.  I was certain that we'd lose our electricity (we didn't) or at least lose or cable service (we didn't), and I hope that storms like this get climate change skeptics to wake up to reality (they won't).

Meanwhile, Hurricane Iota - the thirtieth named storm in the Atlantic hurricane season - has approached Category 5 status as it approaches Nicaragua's Mosquito Coast.  This is only the second November hurricane to reach Cat 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale; the first such storm occurred in 1932.  Joe Biden is already thinking about an ambitious program to reverse the effect of climate change, and he's no doubt conniving with Kamala Harris and designated White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain about how to get it implemented as soon as possible without Republican obstruction.  More power to him on that front.  Because, at this point, despite my earlier comments, I am beginning to fear the weather more than the COVID virus.
