Coming flood: 10 ways to prepare for El Niño -- Mark Morford

Sure, you’re hot and dry now. Just you wait.

It’s been so long since it rained here in California – I mean really, truly rained, more than a couple days’ worth, more than “Hey maybe I should buy an umbrella oh wait never mind” – you probably can’t remember what it’s like when it rains more or less steadily, more or less torrentially, for days, weeks, even months straight, in true El Niño style.

But hear this now: Danger approacheth. The signs are coming fast and hard from nature and science alike that there’s a new, far larger, far more intense “Godzilla” El Niño brewing out in the very unhappy ocean, and if most models are to be believed, this winter is going to make the ’08 downpour look like a dash through a lawn sprinkler.

(Alert! All these so-called El Niño “experts” are the same sketchy, liberal science-types who claim climate change is real and man-made. All GOP/Trump/Fox News fans are encouraged to ignore all storm warnings and safety precautions. Nature loves your livid ignorance. It’s what Jesus would have wanted).
