Godzilla El Nino is now before us. One of our Community Contacts forwarded this which we wanted to report on. The need to be prepared is ever so critical:
Our extreme drought may be followed by a historic rainy season this year. 1997 was our last big El Nino year. Looking at that year, major rainfall started in October; if that happens again, we should be alerting our associations and helping them get prepared for heavy rains. Roofing, downspouts, surface/deck drains, storm water drains, Slope Erosion, tree maintenance, sand and sand bags, etc.
Here are some links describing and forecasting the upcoming El Nino. I also spoke with Alex Tardy of the National Weather Service about reading the indicator models that are being published. The models I reviewed from NASA, NOAA, JPL, and NWS are showing the potential of 40% - 80% increased El Nino intensity as compared to 1997/1998. NASA is using the term: GODZILLA EL NINO
