![]() ![]() Many models suggest the number will actually go down, but others say it will go up, and we don’t know which is right. And as the planet warms further, we have no confidence in any prediction of what that number will do. On the other hand, over most of the planet, there is no evidence that the total number of hurricanes each year is increasing. And sea-level rise makes coastal flooding from storm surge more destructive.ĭamaged boats are seen downtown after Hurricane Ian caused widespread destruction in Fort Myers, Florida, U.S., September 29, 2022. These trends don’t explain a lot about any individual storm – most of what each one does is still determined by the random vagaries of weather – but in the aggregate, they increase the risk of major disasters such as Fiona and Ian. Scientists are pretty confident that, on average, hurricane winds are getting stronger and rains heavier. What is going on? To what extent were these two recent disastrous storms, or any other particular ones, results of human influence on the climate? Here is my attempt to answer those questions, as briefly as possible while still doing justice to the uncertainties, as well as some insights from the latest, still rapidly evolving science. The stories – if they are any good – are more equivocal about whether there are more hurricanes than in the past. At least 76 people have died in the state because of the storm.Īfter each storm, reporters gather quotes from scientists like me for stories about how global warming is increasing the strength of hurricanes’ winds and rains. The total loss will likely be much higher since most of the losses due to flooding – surely enormous, given the massive storm surges as well as river flooding that Ian produced – are not covered by private insurance. The storm may have caused as much as $47 billion in insured losses in the state, which could make it the costliest storm ever to hit Florida. Fiona took down Puerto Rico’s power grid on September 18 (almost five years to the day after Maria had all but destroyed it) and then much of Nova Scotia’s in Canada, and then Ian, after knocking out power to all of Cuba, made landfall in Florida as a dangerous Category 4, one of the most destructive storms ever to hit the continental US, and decimated a wide swath of the Sunshine State. ![]() We got from June well into September, the typical peak of hurricane season, with only a few weak storms, none doing any real damage.

My mouth and eyes fill with foul dark liquid. I occasionally spit out black liquid - I fear something is gravely wrong. I've been feeling nauseous, and have been feeling the urge to CHIT CHIT vomit. It hovers far away now - and moves back as I move forward. My healing drone has stopped giving me aid. My vision is blurry - I fear I have also suffered a CHIT concussion. I am grateful that I repaired this drone before my untimely tumble - I would assuredly be dead without it. It will take a few days to get my strength back. ![]() I may have broken my leg - but thankfully CHIT(?) I have a healing drone to administer aid. I crawled out, and thankfully the insects have stopped following me. I tumbled within as it rushed me down, deep into an underground cavern. In avoiding their assault, I slipped and fell backwards into a waterfall of mysterious liquid. Once they gathered their numbers - and presumably their confidence - they charged me. I scavenged for resources, but soon giant insects began to crawl out of the earth and take aggressive stances. ![]() I find myself in the middle of a desert - with no other survivors in sight. Welcome to DataScraper (v3.1.53 – beta branch) In fossil head skull (on very top of the map).On top of ridged pillar ledge (same wall as the Ancient Gate).High ledge across from Ancient Gate and sand pit.Newt Altars can spawn in various locations across the Abandoned Aqueduct: Upon their death, they will drop a Kjaro's Band and a Runald's Band respectively, and will complete the challenge Death Do Us Part as well as unlocking both the Kjaro's Band and Runald's Band. Upon entering through the Ancient Gate, players will encounter two unique Elite Elder Lemurians Kjaro and Runald. The Ancient Gate in the Abandoned Aqueduct can be opened by activating two Pressure Plates. They are designed to be solved by two players but you can also use the Engineer's turrets, the Effigy of Grief or just roll the maps various pots to activate the plates, the latter of which the Primordial Cube can be used to help with.
