What is ‘weather whiplash’? And why scientists say it’s becoming the new normal
In the days before a catastrophic flash flood swept through rural Texas over the July 4 weekend, the region was parched by drought. Even as search crews trudged through mud and debris in search of victims — at least 135 people lost their lives — some parts of the county remained super dry. The rapid swing between […]
