"At nearly 150 acres, the Jardim Gramacho landfill in Rio de Janeiro was one of the largest and most infamous in all of Latin America. Now it’s a mangrove forest teeming with life.
Decommissioned 11 years ago, between 1970 and 2012 the dump, bordering Rio’s famous Guanabara Bay, received 80 million metric tonnes of trash from the area’s Gramacho neighborhood.
Now, a public-private partnership led by the Rio Municipal Cleaning Company has returned the area to nature, specifically mangroves, one of the most valuable of all ecosystems.
Planting 24 acres of mangroves at a time, today the forest stretches out more than 120 acres and is the largest mangrove area of the bay.
“Before, we polluted the bay and the rivers. Now, it’s the bay and the rivers that pollute us,” a lead official on the project told Africa News. “Today, the mangrove has completely recovered.”
Other organizations have taken action to restore mangroves along the bay as well. The non-profit Ocean Pact funded the Green Guanabara Bay Project which successfully restored 12.5 hectares or around 25 acres of mangroves.
According to some estimates, 1 acre of mangrove forests can store more carbon in roots and soil than 4 acres of even the most biodiverse rainforest, making them paramount to any world climate mitigation strategy.
Furthermore, their impressive lattice work of roots and insane durability means that storm surges impacting mangroves lose about 66% of their kinetic energy without even destroying the trees.
Lastly, coastal fishing communities, in [four] words, cannot exist without mangroves. They act as nurseries and perfect habitat for all kinds of fish and crustaceans that small-scale fishermen rely on for their daily bread."

Storm low tide
On 20 October, a storm hit the coasts of northern Germany and caused a very rare weather phenomenon, namely a storm low tide in the North Sea and a storm surge in the Baltic Sea.
A storm low tide is a very rare type of event that occurs when a strong to stormy south-easterly to easterly wind blows and intensifies the low tide in the North Sea and the Elbe, but causes a storm surge in the Baltic Sea.
Hamburg with a storm low tide
The long-lasting wind pushes the water onto the open North Sea and pushes the water so far away that the seabed can be seen over long stretches. The Baltic Sea, on the other hand, receives more water, a storm surge, which is then pushed inland.
Kiel on the Baltic Sea, on the other hand, had a storm surge and where the yellow buoys are there is the quay wall. And here the water was not yet at its highest level.
This event has only happened twice since the turn of the millennium.

« I can say without any dramatization whatsoever, if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you're gonna die. »
— Mayor Jane Castor of Tampa, Florida on CNN urging people in hurricane evacuation zones in Tampa to flea for their lives.
You can view Tampa's evacuation zones on this interactive map. The evacuation zones (A & B) mentioned by Mayor Castor cover what I guesstimate to be about a third of the entire city.
youtube
After CNN's Kaitlan Collins spoke with the mayor, she spoke with media analyst Brian Stelter about Donald Trump, Marjorie "Jewish Space Lasers" Taylor Greene, and anonymous foreign sources intentionally spreading disaster disinformation.
Here is the FEMA rumor response page which was mentioned in the vid.
Hurricane Helene: Rumor Response
Sadly, one will probably be required for Hurricane Milton.
If you hear anybody spreading disaster disinformation, tell them to STFU. Your outburst may actually save lives this week.
If you want some idea of how Donald Trump would handle this if he were still president, just remember how he mishandled the early spread of COVID-19 in the US. The bullshit he's currently spreading about hurricanes and hurricane relief are comparable to him telling people to drink bleach in 2020.

Theme Deck Review Compendium: Scourge “Storm Surge”
Yes, I did purposely use the most jarringly un-thematic card illustration in the deck as the preview. That cleric bringing the “um… what is happening here?” vibes. As this is the final deck of the block and the premodern era, and it’s coming at the end of my participation in Blaugust 2024, it feels appropriate to fold that into my “Random stuff at the start of the post” section. I did think…
