I asked the boss if she thought she was a weather forecaster or a bikini salesperson
Neither she said, she IS an advertising person for Chilean plastic surgeons

A category 4 hurricane is set to hit New Orleans today with some experts saying it could be worse than Katrina which devastated the city.

All our friends in the city evacuated to Texas or Florida, so they are safe. Now we’ll just have to wait until the storm passes, the highways and major roads are cleared of downed trees, power is restored, and rescue operations are ended before the National Guard will allow residents back into the city to determine the damage to their homes. I can tell you, that wait seems like an eternity.

Got to love the BBC giving so much air time to an influencer telling us how hot it's getting in Kuwait, whose parting comment is that she can't see for how much longer Kuwait will be habitable.
Yes, she is saying that at some undetermined moment in time, Kuwait will become inhabitable. An influencer, who apparently knows more about skin care than climatology.
I checked her out and her YouTube channel and Instagram, and not once does she mention climate change, obviously because it doesn't fit with her image.
I'm always suspicious when an article gives credence to influencers on subjects as heavy as this.

Storm Eunice wreaks havoc, tearing roof off London arena and shaking up planes landing at Heathrow
LONDON — An intense storm with record-breaking winds battered Europe on Friday, ripping the roof off a major London music venue, causing widespread power and travel disruptions and challenging pilots attempting to land at Heathrow Airport.
British officials urged millions to “stay at home.” Thousands tuned into a YouTube channel to watch the shaky planes at Heathrow.
Eunice, as the storm is called, landed in the southwest of Ireland in the predawn hours, leaving tens of thousands without power, before barreling across to Britain.
A man in Ireland, a council worker in his 60s, was killed by a falling tree. Irish broadcaster RTE said that the storm knocked out power to 80,000 homes and businesses in the country. In England, the areas of Cornwall and Devon were also reporting power outages.
The Met Office weather service issued not one, but two rare “red” weather warnings — the highest possible level — for Wales and parts of southern England, including London. It was the first time the British capital had received such a warning since the system was introduced in 2011.
According to the U.K. Met Office, the Needles on the Isle of Wight clocked a gust of 122 mph, “provisionally the highest gust ever recorded in England.” The Needles are a series of chalk landforms over the English Channel and home to a lighthouse in southernmost England.
In one dramatic scene, the roof of London’s O2 arena was ripped open by the winds.
The O2, a major multipurpose venue popular for music concerts, hasn’t commented on its partially missing roof.
