More tropical fun. . .
In an exceptionally rare occurrence for late October, two new tropical storms formed simultaneously on Friday afternoon in the Atlantic—Olga in the Gulf of Mexico and Pablo in the northeast Atlantic near the Azores Islands. The formation of Olga and Pablo brings this year’s tally of Atlantic tropical cyclone activity to 16 named storms, 5 hurricanes, 3 intense hurricanes, and an ACE index of 120. The 1981 – 2010 averages for these quantities by October 25 were 10.8 named storms, 5.6 hurricane, 2.5 intense hurricanes, and an ACE index of 95.5, according to Dr. Phil Klotzbach, so 2019 is well above average in most metrics.

Something they'll just have to get used to.
Folks in Venice know how they feel.
This week I learned that there are a ton of Bangladeshi immigrants living in Venice, running tourist businesses, etc. Someone needs to enlighten these people about the concept of 'altitude' lol

Second Warmest November Globally—and 2019 Likely to Be the Second Warmest Year
Global heat is close to record levels for both November and 2019 as a whole.
www.wunderground.com
Last month was the second warmest November in 140 years of recordkeeping, reported NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI) in its November summary of global climate. The November warmth enhances the likelihood that 2019 will be the second warmest year in global records dating back to 1880.
Only November 2015 was warmer than last month, by just 0.09°C (0.16°F), said NOAA. The third warmest November, in 2013, was 0.11°C (0.2°F) cooler than last month. The six warmest Novembers have all occurred in the 2010s, according to NOAA.

This sucks. I see it was a C-130. I understand that many of those refitted for fire suppression duty did not get a wing spar upgrade that left them vulnerable to fatigue failure.Australia fires: US crew dead in firefighting plane crash
