These are the type and magnitude of impacts we would likely see during an ARkStorm-like event in California. It's possible such effects could be even more widespread, and affect more people, than this Southern Appalachian disaster, but the general point holds. [12/n]

Thank you for your essential work!

I & others who have worked on ARkStorm's multiple iterations over the years have received quite a bit of pushback from a variety of sources: "This is ridiculous; it could never happen!" "California gets droughts & wildfires, not floods!" "You're such a fearmonger!" & etc. [13/n]
