Agreed. Nature will do as nature does. Our weather records are minuscule compared to the beginning of time. 10, 20, 50 even 100yrs are pimples on an elephants ass...Prior to the gas combustion engine, there were mega floods, horrific droughts, hurricanes, earthquakes....nothing man made.
Weather is cyclical.
I don't think PTO will survive and I am not all in on the NSS theory. BUT I definitely hope I am wrong. And will certainly extend a mea culpa if I am.
