Storm of the Century

Which brings us to today. The El Niño predicted for this year is the first that was predicted so early, and the resources being thrown at tracking it are awesome. Weather being what it is, caution was expressed at the beginning. "It looks like an El Niño, quacks like an El Niño, but it's too early to tell how big and how bad it's going to be," sums up the findings of a conference held last May. The impacts are being felt already though, and many are saying it's time to batten down the hatches and prepare for the climate event of the century.
