Some unusual storm activity in the Pacific Northwest, with hurricane force winds, severe flooding. The interstate is closed, many smaller roads destroyed.
We must make the invisible visible. We must make the vastness perceptible. We must make the alien familiar. We must make implausible truths obvious. We have no other choice.
The only thing we can be sure of about the future is that it will be absolutely fantastic. So if what I say now seems to you to be very reasonable, then I have failed completely. Only if what I tell you appears absolutely unbelievable, have we any chance of visualizing the future as it really will happen.- Arthur C. Clarke (h/t Brin)

Actually, last October had almost as bad storms where I used to live, and Mt Rainier Nat'l Park staff is still cleaning up the destruction, where ~15-20 in of rain fell in ~ two days.
Best,
