A Summer of Climate Disasters

Climate change has made extreme weather increasingly normal.

Demand was expected to outstrip energy supply on Monday evening, an official said, and Tuesday could see record demand for power.

Hailstones of record size are falling left and right, and hailstorm damage is growing. But there is surprisingly little research to explain why.

An estimated 12 inches of rain fell in Chattooga and Floyd Counties, where the governor declared a state of emergency.

A line of storms produced wind gusts from 60 to 80 miles per hour in some areas and knocked out power to more than 630,000 customers in Michigan.
