Melanie, you always explain things so carefully and clearly - thank you!
I know that in the 13 years we have lived at our current location in Georgia, USA we have seen an increasing number of flash floods from massive downpours. Many of them in the past few years have been from hurricanes, which never used to make their way this far inland. We lost 2 bridges on our driveway a year and a half ago from a flood and were stranded at home. The area in North Carolina where I grew up is seeing regular landslides - they shut down a major highway after heavy rains to prevent trapping people between slides. The effects of climate change are real!
That sounds frightening, especially being cut off like that. It's really sobering seeing these changes and realising that climate change is very much happening in the present.
