Tony “Abolish ICE” Arcieri🌹🦀So weird to see the news continue to refer to both Helene and Milton as "once-in-a-century" hurricanes.
If you have back-to-back "once-in-a-century" events, maybe it's time to abandon the pretense that they're once-in-a-century.
Louis Ingenthron@bascule The context matters. Helene was a once-in-a-century hurricane for the southeastern states; Milton is once-in-a-century for central Florida. Neither of those regions had been hit this hard by a hurricane for over ten years, so it checks out.
Ariaflame@ariaflame @bascule Whoops, you're right, in my mind I was reading "decade".
arjankroonen@louis haha, I thought you were being sarcastic 😄
