Believe-it-when-you-see-it video

The Weather Channel recently posted this video from last March 2, 2018 "bombogenesis" storm featuring what happened in Scituate, MA a town near me:

The consequences of climate disruption have arrived. The effects of global warming is on my doorstep. I have been sitting on a bench at Webb Park in north Weymouth drawing the sea and sky every summer for over 30 years. This summer the bench is gone and with it the land it sat on. This point of land was eroded very quickly during the March 2 storm by wind and wave action from Hingham Bay. Erosion was always present before but NOW it is different. The rate of erosion has accelerated. It is hard for me to accept.
