Ungraspable global warming and a tornado 'like in a disaster movie'.
* Tornado causes damage as it rips through Ulladulla on NSW south coast
"The sky darkened before a strong wind swept everything away. Boats that had been chained to the harbour...were uplifted and thrown onto the car park." >>
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-03/tornado-tears-through-ulladulla-in-nsw-south-coast/107225262* "In The Ecological Thought, Morton employed the term hyperobjects to describe objects that are so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend spatiotemporal specificity, such as global warming, styrofoam, and radioactive plutonium."
"For example, global warming is a hyperobject which impacts meteorological conditions, such as tornado formation. According to Morton, though, entities don't feel global warming, but instead experience tornadoes as they cause damage in specific places. Thus, nonlocality describes the manner in which a hyperobject becomes more substantial than the local manifestations it produces. Hyperobjects not only become visible during an age of ecological crisis, but alert humans to the ecological dilemmas defining the age in which they live." >>
