This doesn't "prove" Climate Change - we're not quite there yet - but when this kind of Extraordinary starts to lean toward Typical, we have to stop the foolishness and understand we've got a fucking problem.

Don't worry. You are not losing it. Ireland is in the "cone" of uncertainty in that map below. Hurricane Ophelia is the 10th consecutive hurricane to form in the Atlantic basin this year. According to University of Miami hurricane expert Brian McNoldy, the last time ten consecutive storms became a hurricane was 1893. While a very interesting factoid, the "elephant in the room" is that Ophelia is headed to Ireland. It is rare, but not unprecedented.
