This El Niño is not only pushing all records, but is predicted to go at least another year, and probably two (sorry, lost the links to back it up).
The blessed part is, the warm Pacific currents that make an El Niño are pointed right at Sandy Eggo. This means the warmer than usual ocean waters
will reach from Tortuga northward, and maybe the larger tropical storm trough will carry farther than mid-peninsula. Lordy knows SoCal needs some
moisture. I Googled, and the last 'hurricane' to hit Sandy Eggo was in ..... 1884? 89? Anyway, they're due. No climate change here, happens every
150 years or so.
Here in Baja, New Mexico (southern, not the 'town' for those who google) it's been cooler than normal, and monsoonal moisture has been a little
farther north than usual..... except for the mountains to the west of the State....... so far. This is what I love about an El Niño: ALL BETS ARE
OFF. All 'normal' weather patterns are upset, nad the apple cart is ka-tilt. This El Niño is predicted to be a multi-year event. "Mama Natura, Cada
