my God, this forum has devolved into the worst of the worst. It's always emotional and reactionary in here, but it seems that the rational and seasoned members have pulled back to make way for the kids.
I'm going to step back for the day too. It's just too much uninformed nonsense.
I am excited for a lot of you guys, because it seems like this is your first time tracking a PNW winter storm. I remember my first time.
Hyperbole is not the answer here.
No one said heatwaves don't kill. They do, especially extreme ones like 2021.
That doesn't change the fact that the study cited was sus, and logically attributing 3 weeks of excess deaths arbitrarily doesn't add up.
Well that was many hours ago of course! I wasn't really paying attention to the radar... but the rain did stop and the sun peaked out a few times at my mom's house but it was raining lightly again by time we left. I was probably being a little too optimistic in the moment assuming the main front had passed though.
Wow no sun peaking out down on the water front. We did have a couple of brief periods where there was no precip, but it was at least drizzling pretty much all day. We did have a couple of periods of moderate rain, I caught a picture of this gal waiting out one of the heavier bands of rain. She definitely had the right idea.
No one said heat doesn't contribute to deaths. Sometimes directly. It's just that the media will stretch the reality as far as they can for maximum shock value.
