Apologies if today’s edition arrived a bit soggy in your inbox. We’re experiencing our first major storm on the West Coast, and these days, as this headline suggests, no storms are normal storms. California storm hits ‘triple bombogenesis’; torrential rain, hurricane-force winds expected.

+ We’re basically getting a bomb cyclone and atmospheric river.
