In the past 170+ years of NOAA weather records, a fully tropical system has passed within 250 miles of Los Angeles exactly once.
Hurricane Nora in 1997, also the first year of a strong El Niño.
That could happen again this weekend with Hurricane Hilary.
The latest GFS model shows that the remnants of a much-weakened Hurricane Hilary could bring up to 10 inches of rain to the Coachella-Imperial Valley deserts of southern California by Tuesday.
That’s *a lot* of rain for an area that gets almost none.
We just completed a brand-new member survey of our audience at @currently in support of a prospective partnership with a major solar company.
I was *shocked* to see how enthusiastic our community is toward participating in climate solutions, particularly rooftop solar.
80%+ of the @currently community is interested in home solar incentives
50%+ of the @currently community is *very interested*
60% of our members are homeowners, so essentially nearly every single homeowner in our membership is ready for home solar. Wow.
Currently has 50,000+ members.
That means there are 10,000's of potential solar leads within our audience alone — and with an average deal size of $20K, that's $200M in potential dealflow.
Just a shocking amount of potential solar business & potential carbon emissions saved. 😍

🍄40 hours to go, $40,000 to go in Project Mushroom's all-or-nothing Kickstarter to build a social-media-newsletter-and-podcast hub that's not controlled by billionaires who hate us.🍄
Project Mushroom is building a protected space with:
🍄 paid moderation
🍄 a hosting service for newsletters
🍄 all the support systems needed to mutually boost and sustain marginalized voices in an ecosystem that WE control together.
This week, Project Mushroom opened a federated Mastodon server called spore.social — the goal is to safely connect Project Mushroom with the rest of the fediverse while retaining our focus on safety.
