Authorities report harbor restrictions, beach hazard warnings, and dangerous surf conditions as long-period swell combines with storm surge, strong winds, and elevated tides. While these events are not tsunamis, experts stress that so-called monster waves can still be life-threatening, especially when they strike suddenly and without obvious warning.

* Atmospheric rivers that cause these floods are the result of polar ice caps and glaciers all over the planet melting and putting water vapor into the air, which then joins currents and forms rivers in the atmosphere. I'm working on an in-depth post about this new phenomenon that I hope to produce in the next week.

[KE: Everything scientists predicted about global warming/ climate change since the 1970s is coming true, only faster, including storms being more intense.]

ALSO I got interrupted in the middle of building this post in HTML and I think some of the captions may not match the videos but the information is there LOL I'm just one old lady w a laptop.
