It's raining. It's pouring. California is storming. |
Thousands are fleeing their homes here, the death toll is rising and flood warnings continue statewide as an endless barrage of storms slam California. |
So are the gale-force winds and all this precipitation (hail, too!) happening because of climate change? |
The short answer: It's too soon to say. But climate scientists say the state's weather is becoming more variable and more intense. And that is a long-predicted effect of global warming. |
There's good news, too, this wet Tuesday. Check out the $49 fare sale from Southwest. An olive branch for the airline's epic holiday meltdown? |
Talk about misfortune |
Believe it or not, there are some Guinness World Records that no one wants to break. |
With Twitter in chaos and Tesla in freefall, billionaire techie Elon Musk has set a new world record for losing the most wealth ever. |
The Tesla and Twitter CEO vaporized so much of his wealth since November 2021 that he's broken the world record for the "largest loss of personal fortune in history," the global organization that keeps track of record achievements said in a press release Friday. |

Guinness reported the record after Forbes assessed Musk lost $182 billion, although other sources suggest that it could be closer to $200 billion. |
Who holds the previous record? Softbank founder and CEO Masayoshi Son in 2000. He lost $58.6 billion. |
