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.

Statistically possible as an outlier but we know that is not the case. There is a reason for this. It's not just a statistical aberration.
