Storm Amy is incoming and will hit northern Ireland and western Scotland on Friday.

Meanwhile, the jet stream across the Atlantic is running at a maximum of around 350km/h! No record, but for comparison, the average winter jetstream speed is around 213km/h.

As Anders Levermann explains in his talk about "Folding the World", Faltung der Welt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2z8Ou__TQo

there's no reason in physics why the following events could not occur over a period of 12 months, and again in the following year,

instead of 13 years apart like in reality:
in January , the sluggish #jetstream brings heavy snowstorms to US Midwest, halting economic activity for 2 weeks. A #drought like in 2012 hits the midwest, destroying harvests. A #hurricane like Katrina 2005 flattens New Orleans, while a Sandy-eq revisits New York a few months later. And another #blizzard again halts economic activity in December.

Levermann: "Our capacity for adaptation has limits."

Constantly rebuilding destroyed infrastructure puts strain on all sorts of resources, not only money. Work force, raw material, production capacity, price rises from sociopathic entrepreneurs and share holders are all results to be dealth with in a relentless chain of extreme weather events.
Pushing the envelope of weather extremes outward increases frequency and intensity of extremes and repairs.
