The quality control editing that used to be there got cut to save costs. Stripped of their want ads income, newspapers are generally unprofitable, so they have become vanity properties for rich owners such as Bezos or Carlos Slim, guys who do not like to spend too much.

Again as with most journalists nowadays, no effort to investigate and get the facts right. all they needed to do is replace Larry with Ida, I mean how hard could it be?

It would be interesting to learn about a typhoon that hit Hokkaido and produced a blizzard lol. I suppose the same has happened on the Atlantic side in Maine or farther north.

According to Lee Goldberg's map, this hurricane Larry will make landfall as a 75 mph hurricane near the eastern edge of Labrador, he said it will then race up to Greenland and be a HUGE snowstorm/blizzard up there!
