I would hope not, but you're probably right. A warming climate is something I talked about with school kids early in my career going all the way back to the late 1980s. It wasn't quite fashionable then yet. My point on the "realistic" is that not every weather event can be attributed to climate change. This mindset has gotten out of hand IMO. Lightning in California.... hurricanes over the Atlantic/Caribbean &/or Gulf in Aug./Sept./Oct.... snow in the "south".... or a temp. swing of 30-40 degrees are not - as single events - at all an indication of long term climate change. We -as a society, as a science - need to get away from this mantra. But we can measure temp. change over a long period of time, & it's clear we live in a warmer climate globally than at most anytime in modern history. And that warming trend is very likely to continue.

If I have to go "single most challenging", it would probably be hurricane "Dorian" last Aug./Sept. But there are multiple ones that come to mind going many years back.

good question!! I'd have to say the solar eclipse in 2017. My daughter & I along with Garrett Bedenbaugh & videographer Russ Pyne traveled to totality in SC - very, very cool!

! :)

many, many years - eons - in my opinion. The width & measurements of our coastlines are easily found online. Worth a check, & I think you'll be surprised.
