I just remember one huge flood in 1998? I know my parents survived a flood in 1992. Their entire apartment was flooded out. Could just be the news cycle. Breaking News has been perpetual since 9/11. It's kinda annoying and minimizes truly important news...

I really hope we're not screwed. California is so beautiful 😔 I wish we had more climatologists in this sub lol

Really? That's surprising. I grew up in the 90s & 00s. I must not remember them. It was rare to see rain here. I know we get the occasional downpour. But we've been getting record rainfall. It's sorta concerning. I've been watching the trees outside my house for years and they keep turning later and later. It seems like the climate itself is shifting, little by little. But that's just my observation.

Thanks for your response btw. It's enlightening. Maybe it's just a new phrase coined?
