Heard On The Larry Meiller Show
A satellite image shows a white, massive swirling cloud about the brown land of Mexico.
This Friday, Aug. 18, 2023, 1:10 p.m. EDT satellite image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows Hurricane Hilary, right, off Mexico’s Pacific coast. Scientists figure a natural El Niño, human-caused climate change, a stubborn heat dome over the nation’s midsection and other factors cooked up Hilary’s record-breaking slosh into California and Nevada. NOAA via AP
