Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019.
Hurricane Helene is one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region, and has devastated areas of Georgia and the Carolinas too. Garden & Gun has created this list of local and regional organizations that are providing help, with details on how to donate.

International scientists examined #ExtremeWeather conditions, traced #ClimateFingerprints. Findings & root causes:
🚨Human-caused #ClimateChange doubled likelihood of tinderbox weather conditions that sparked Canada’s massive 2026 summer wildfires
🔥Historical emissions, esp. from largest carbon emitters of heat-trapping gases from the burning of coal, oil and gas
🔥Hotter and drier conditions are making fires burn more often, more intensely

THE HENRY MILLER LIBRARY IS
TEMPORARILY CLOSED.
An evacuation order is now in effect for parts of Big Sur, including the Library, due to the Timber Fire.
Follow @montereycountyca, @bigsurfire and @monterey_county_so for latest updates.
We implore you: Do not come to Big Sur.
This is an incredibly serious situation. Fewer cars on the road allow CalFire and emergency services to do their job as effectively and safely as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
I was just thinking about this. I remember when #summertime was so nice. Sure there’d be a week or two when it was hot, but not this hot. It’s to the point that you can’t be outside — even at night — unless you are in the water. And that’s drying up in many places.
The livin' is no longer easy
The summertime ideal - lazy days, warm nights and escape - is fading as #ExtremeHeat sets records worldwide.
