"'This definitely has the potential of being the Godzilla El Niño,' said Bill Patzert, a climatologist with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge."

It's his fault!
I didn't realize so many were running with it.
I was looking at who originally posted that thing about the storm. The article itself, unless it was updated, was okay:
http://www.aol.com/article/2015/08/14/strong-el-nino-likely-to-peak-late-fall-early-winter-noaa-forec/21222717/
But the headline is still wrong (second article on AOL front page scroll at the moment)
Headline: "Record-setting El Niño could deliver absolute turmoil"
And then: "Forecasters unanimously agree that the latest prediction of when the storm will peak could potentially be catastrophic for some areas."
If forecasters are unanimous, we are all in trouble. If they don't know the difference, who does?
I know where they went wrong. Meteorology has the word "meteor" in it. The Perseid meteor shower is going on. I think you need a lot more to consider it a meteor storm, but the author probably saw some meteors and that made them have "storm" on the mind. |
