Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!
As another hurricane threatens the people of Florida
A storm so intense
that it has caused the formation of several tornados ahead of reaching land
Some as large as 2 miles wide
The folks here at This Week in Science hope that everyone will keep safe
Keep dry, and get out of the area in time
But we know that many will not
Even with a history of dealing with large storms
We have learned very little about how to prepare
How to move millions of people to safety, with relatively little notice
I want everyone to pay close attention to events like this
It isn’t normal
Hurricanes are three times more frequent than 100 years ago
Major hurricanes of Category 3 or above have doubled 40 years ago
The worst storms in recorded history
Are all happening now
The highest heatwaves, the biggest hurricanes, and with tornadoes!
As you see this happen, over and over again.
Ask yourself…
Why?
And if you know, you know
This is not a test
This is This Week in Science
Coming up Next
Some quick science news!
It’s Nobel Time!!!
Who won the Nobel Prizes in Medicine, Physics, and Chemistry?
Pessimistic Bees

Birds Of A Foot
From a bone to a bird? How did scientists just get three ancient birds from two ancient bones?
Plunging Biodiversity?
Not so, says your toothbrush.
Combining Jellies
