Both the Lightning strike fires ravaging California and preventing most of the state from breathing properly as well as the two hurricanes hitting at the same time in the east are extreme global warming signs. It looks like the U.S. and the world more and more are paying the price for global warming and this likely is only the beginning.
Weather scientists thought that most of these things wouldn't occur until at least 50 years into the future. But, global warming extreme conditions are coming now not 50 years from now and will tend to kill and maim more and more people in various ways.
Most people will tend to survive the fires in California somehow just by running away from the fires while their homes and property burn. Most people will survive the hurricanes while their properties are ruined by water damage and wind damage.
So, it's not the death toll at least yet it is the bankruptcies of the people without flood or fire insurance who lose their homes with no money to rebuild them. It is the people who are renting where all their things are lost in the flooding when they evacuate.
So, it is the secondary effects of homelessness and getting coronavirus and possibly dying from that or going bankrupt because they don't have insurance to replace what they lost that will be the biggest problems now.
The effects of global warming right now are not causing thousands of deaths here in the U.S. but instead causing homelessness and bankruptcies and loss of jobs and livelihoods in various ways and exposing people to higher risks from coronavirus.
Not only are the hurricanes starting to hit today but 2 more lightning storms are hitting California from Sunday through Tuesday with gusty winds 40 to 65 miles per hour making the fires worse and likely starting new ones until Tuesday night.
Both the East and West coasts will experience their own versions of the apocalypse this week.
