remember when the weather was just small talk? now
forecasts are so dire, debuting fun new categories
of
extreme events with apocalyptic nomenclature like
bomb cyclone and firenado...
compared to which
atmospheric river sounds
positively benign until
you remember even a languid flow can carry off
a town when an airborne Amazon touches
down.
given prediction of a possible 10" of rain, i sped
back to Tahuya to literally man the pumps (if it
comes to that), opaque aqueous greys of ferry
passage felt like being underwater,
workers
luminescent as deep sea fish in the
murk.
