California’s coastal waters are the warmest ever recorded for April.
A severe to extreme marine heatwave is underway off the coasts of California and Baja California, locally reaching Category 5 intensity.
There is just a ton of warm water across the Pacific, with a strong to severe marine heatwave conditions extending from the Marshall Islands all the way to the California coastline.
Expect a very humid summer in Southern California, along with major impacts on marine ecosystems. With a strengthening, potentially Super El Niño expected by autumn, if there were ever a year for a hurricane to make landfall in SoCal, this would be it.
We’ll be watching closely for El Niño to rapidly emerge in the coming weeks.
@_lej44 My understanding is that they don’t often own the buildings outright and have loans. The repayments on those loans are tied to the bank’s assessed “risk” on the property. A vacancy doesn’t raise their rates but accepting rent below the bank’s assessed rent value does.
'Escalate,' as in "tensions escalate," comes from the word 'escalator.'
It first appeared in print in 1944.
'Escalator' originated as a trademarked term for the Otis Elevator Company's moving staircase and was demonstrated at the Paris Exposition in 1900.
@Gremlins2Movie@dnlklr@NYMag The term was coined by FX chief John Landgraf at the TCAs in 2015. https://t.co/M6uJDtofFl
“This is simply too much television. My sense is that 2015 or 2016 will represent peak TV in America, and that we’ll begin to see declines…”
@Gremlins2Movie@dnlklr@NYMag “Peak TV” never described quality, it was always a term used to describe the fact that we were making more shows than ever. Stuff that never would’ve been made earlier - like Secrets of the Mogwai!
