"bio": "Pat Yollin has written about lots of stuff, including organ transplants, wayward penguins at the San Francisco Zoo, the comeback of the cream puff, New York on the fifth anniversary of 9/11, a Slow Food gathering in Italy, and the microcredit movement in Northern California. Among her favorite stories: an interview with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch that broke the story about his plan to build a cultural museum, and a pirate Trader Joe's operation in Vancouver that prompted the grocery chain to sue -- and lose. She joined KQED in 2013 and was previously a reporter and editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, the Hearst-owned San Francisco Examiner and the Hayward Daily Review.",

(Photo by Molly Solomon)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In Hawaii, hurricanes are a rare event. On the other side of the country, they’re part of summer and the U.S. Census Bureau keeps track of them. Its “Facts for Features” series on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff09.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 North Atlantic hurricane season\u003c/a> — which runs June 1 through Nov. 30 — is an educational experience. The Eastern Pacific season, by the way, ends on the same date but opens May 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census numbers indicate that 185 coastline counties along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico face the biggest threat of hurricanes. The coastal states stretching from North Carolina to Texas — totaling almost 600,000 square miles — are particularly vulnerable. About 83 million people lived there in 2013, just over 26 percent of the U.S. population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurricane names rotate every six years, except for those that are retired because of storms that were especially lethal or costly. So far, the World Meteorological Organization has \u003ca href=\"http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames_history.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retired 77 names,\u003c/a> including Hazel in 1954, Flora in 1963, Eloise in 1975, Andrew in 1992 and Paloma in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five names from 2005 were retired — Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma — which is a record and gives you some idea of what kind of year it was. The Census Bureau noted that 28 named storms formed that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, by contrast, only two hurricanes materialized during the Atlantic hurricane season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one thing to look at hurricane facts and figures. It’s another to hear about them from people who have spent most of their lives dealing with hurricanes. At KQED that person is morning newscaster Joshua Johnson, who grew up in West Palm Beach and has covered many hurricanes as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are some of his hurricane memories:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>No one dies in a hurricane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They die \u003cem>after\u003c/em> hurricanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lives are lost in the chaotic aftermath: people falling as they repair roofs, driving into washed-out roadways, stepping into puddles with hidden, fallen power lines. Those idiots you see on the TV news frolicking in 80 mph winds? They do it because they feel impervious to the storm. And they are, but only because of sheer dumb luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not because I’m a South Florida native, although I am. But because I’ve covered enough hurricanes to know what they can do. Andrew is the one everyone thinks about, but that wiped out Homestead, an area well south of the most populated parts of the Miami metro region. That storm barely touched me, even though it did shift South Florida’s population base north in dramatic ways. I’ve covered enough hurricanes to last me a lifetime. Most notably, Charlie, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Wilma …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… and then, Alpha through Zeta. Yep, we learned what happens when the National Hurricane Center runs out of names — they use Greek letters. The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season set the record for the most named storms, most hurricanes and most major hurricanes (category 3 or higher). We were so sick of rain by the end of that season, California’s drought would’ve seemed like a gift from God.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katrina was a major storm for South Florida as well as the Gulf Coast. Rita left quite a mess behind, too. And the damage it caused was extensive enough that we couldn’t finish cleaning up in time for Wilma. So Wilma blew the debris around and made life absolutely miserable. I think my power was out for a month or so. I don’t remember … I’d rather not remember … but I ate and slept and bathed for days at the Miami Herald, where I anchored news on WLRN Public Radio. Some of the staff got hotel rooms. I got to set up a reclining camping chair and blankets in Studio 1. Asleep at 11 p.m., up at 5 a.m., then dash into Studio 2 in my pajamas and keep anchoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least I could play music to lull me to sleep. The studio speakers were awesome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a hurricane threatens, you settle into a “new normal.” It becomes normal to see people talking about nothing but the storm, or about how they wish people would talk about something other than the storm. It’s normal to see amazingly long lines at Home Depot before landfall, and even longer lines for free water and ice rations afterward. Is everyone on your block grilling outside because their appliances don’t work? Normal. Driving through your neighborhood at night super slowly with the high beams on because you’re scared of running over a fallen tree or a washed-out road? Normal, and wise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The least normal thing came courtesy of MTV, which hosted its Video Music Awards in Miami in 2005. Much of the preshow hype had to be canceled because of Katrina, though the big show still went on. That was kind of fun to cover, though many of us wished MTV would just forget about the show and hunker down like everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there were benefits to living in the days of the aftermath. For one thing, I got to know my neighbors in ways I never did when I had Netflix and Comcast and YouTube and electricity to keep me in my little bubble. Going out barhopping was \u003cem>awesome\u003c/em>, because after a while everyone got major cabin fever and was determined to have a good time. And when I looked up from my backyard in Fort Lauderdale, I didn’t see the streetlights and hear the noise of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time in a long time, all I saw were stars. Vast, silent stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a majestic, moving and somewhat eerie reminder of the power of nature, and of the beauty in its balance. Rain brings rainbows. Hurricanes swamp the land, but they also clear the sky. And sometimes, the only way to see clearly is to turn off all the lights.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Its “Facts for Features” series on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff09.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 North Atlantic hurricane season\u003c/a> — which runs June 1 through Nov. 30 — is an educational experience. The Eastern Pacific season, by the way, ends on the same date but opens May 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census numbers indicate that 185 coastline counties along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico face the biggest threat of hurricanes. The coastal states stretching from North Carolina to Texas — totaling almost 600,000 square miles — are particularly vulnerable. About 83 million people lived there in 2013, just over 26 percent of the U.S. population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurricane names rotate every six years, except for those that are retired because of storms that were especially lethal or costly. So far, the World Meteorological Organization has \u003ca href=\"http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames_history.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retired 77 names,\u003c/a> including Hazel in 1954, Flora in 1963, Eloise in 1975, Andrew in 1992 and Paloma in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five names from 2005 were retired — Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma — which is a record and gives you some idea of what kind of year it was. The Census Bureau noted that 28 named storms formed that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, by contrast, only two hurricanes materialized during the Atlantic hurricane season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one thing to look at hurricane facts and figures. It’s another to hear about them from people who have spent most of their lives dealing with hurricanes. At KQED that person is morning newscaster Joshua Johnson, who grew up in West Palm Beach and has covered many hurricanes as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those idiots you see on the TV news frolicking in 80 mph winds? They do it because they feel impervious to the storm. And they are, but only because of sheer dumb luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not because I’m a South Florida native, although I am. But because I’ve covered enough hurricanes to know what they can do. Andrew is the one everyone thinks about, but that wiped out Homestead, an area well south of the most populated parts of the Miami metro region. That storm barely touched me, even though it did shift South Florida’s population base north in dramatic ways. I’ve covered enough hurricanes to last me a lifetime. Most notably, Charlie, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Wilma …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… and then, Alpha through Zeta. Yep, we learned what happens when the National Hurricane Center runs out of names — they use Greek letters. The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season set the record for the most named storms, most hurricanes and most major hurricanes (category 3 or higher). We were so sick of rain by the end of that season, California’s drought would’ve seemed like a gift from God.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katrina was a major storm for South Florida as well as the Gulf Coast. Rita left quite a mess behind, too. And the damage it caused was extensive enough that we couldn’t finish cleaning up in time for Wilma. So Wilma blew the debris around and made life absolutely miserable. I think my power was out for a month or so. I don’t remember … I’d rather not remember … but I ate and slept and bathed for days at the Miami Herald, where I anchored news on WLRN Public Radio. Some of the staff got hotel rooms. I got to set up a reclining camping chair and blankets in Studio 1. Asleep at 11 p.m., up at 5 a.m., then dash into Studio 2 in my pajamas and keep anchoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least I could play music to lull me to sleep. The studio speakers were awesome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a hurricane threatens, you settle into a “new normal.” It becomes normal to see people talking about nothing but the storm, or about how they wish people would talk about something other than the storm. It’s normal to see amazingly long lines at Home Depot before landfall, and even longer lines for free water and ice rations afterward. Is everyone on your block grilling outside because their appliances don’t work? Normal. Driving through your neighborhood at night super slowly with the high beams on because you’re scared of running over a fallen tree or a washed-out road? Normal, and wise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The least normal thing came courtesy of MTV, which hosted its Video Music Awards in Miami in 2005. Much of the preshow hype had to be canceled because of Katrina, though the big show still went on. That was kind of fun to cover, though many of us wished MTV would just forget about the show and hunker down like everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there were benefits to living in the days of the aftermath. For one thing, I got to know my neighbors in ways I never did when I had Netflix and Comcast and YouTube and electricity to keep me in my little bubble. Going out barhopping was \u003cem>awesome\u003c/em>, because after a while everyone got major cabin fever and was determined to have a good time. And when I looked up from my backyard in Fort Lauderdale, I didn’t see the streetlights and hear the noise of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time in a long time, all I saw were stars. Vast, silent stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a majestic, moving and somewhat eerie reminder of the power of nature, and of the beauty in its balance. Rain brings rainbows. Hurricanes swamp the land, but they also clear the sky. And sometimes, the only way to see clearly is to turn off all the lights.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It was the first time since the 1930s the road, state Highway 120 across Tuolumne Meadows and the nearly 2-mile-high Tioga Pass, had been open so late in the season. The rare chance for a winter visit to the high country was irresistible. As it happened, I made my trip across the nearly snowless roof of California just a couple days before\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/climatewatch/2012/01/18/tioga-pass-unwrapped-a-fleeting-midwinter-glimpse-of-the-roof-of-california/\" target=\"_blank\"> the onset of serious weather closed the road for five months\u003c/a>.[contextly_sidebar id=\"785ab918a129e661c65cc7fdbed9ef2f\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What no one could have known then was that the winter of 2011-12 was just the first in a series of dry snow seasons for Yosemite and the rest of the Sierra. The winter of 2012-13 started out stormy and wild, but the wet-season storm door slammed shut on New Year's Day 2013 and didn't really open more than a crack for more than a year — until around Groundhog Day 2014.

The National Weather Service in Monterey is reporting record temperatures across what we'll call the Greater Bay Area — its forecast area includes the nine counties touching the bay plus Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the records: San Rafael, 30 degrees, breaking the record of 31 set in 1972; downtown Oakland, 34 (previous record: 34, set in 1972); Oakland airport, 30 (previous record: 35, set in 2006); Mountain View, 32 (previous record 33, set in 1998); Salinas airport, 27 (previous record: 29, set in 1942). San Jose hit 29 degrees and downtown San Francisco was at 40, both tying records set in 1972.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most eye-popping readings this morning? Healdsburg, at 16 degrees, and Napa Airport, at 19 degrees. It's not clear whether those are official records. Further afield, a place called Moody Canyon, in San Benito County east of Pinnacles National Park, had a low of 9 degrees. In the Sierra, it was 0 at Truckee, just across Donner Pass, and 8 at South Lake Tahoe. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters say we'll see more of the same tomorrow, with freeze warnings remaining in place for Friday morning. The very cold, clear weather will give way to cold, rainy or snowy weather, depending on where you are, Friday night and Saturday. Snow levels could be as low as 1,000 feet around San Francisco Bay, and forecasters say snow could fall over much the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys. A \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=sto&wwa=winter%20storm%20watch\" target=\"_blank\">winter storm watch\u003c/a> for the Sierra Nevada says as much as two feet of snow could fall over the highest elevations; a foot is possible in the Sierra foothills. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (Wednesday, Dec. 4): \u003c/strong>That frost you might have seen this morning doesn't lie — it's cold this morning. The National Weather Service says the chill broke records \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=RER&sid=MTR&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">only in Salinas\u003c/a>, where a 28 degree reading broke the mark of 29, set in 2004. But though temperature records stayed intact throughout the rest of the Bay Area, it was still \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=PNS&sid=MTR&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">the coldest morning of the season so far \u003c/a>throughout the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coldest temperatures were recorded in the region's interior valleys, with lows in the mid- to upper 20s in many locations in outlying Sonoma, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa, and Santa Clara counties. Most locations near the bay and coast stayed in the mid-30s to low 40s. High temperatures are expected to stay in the mid-40s to mid-50s, about 10 degrees below normal for most locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weather service has issued a \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=freeze%20warning\" target=\"_blank\">freeze warning\u003c/a> for the entire Bay Area outside San Francisco through Friday morning. Forecasters have also put out a \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=hard%20freeze%20warning\" target=\"_blank\">hard freeze warning\u003c/a> for the Central Valley, warning citrus farmers and others of temperatures that will plunge into the low 20s, and stay there, for the next several nights. California Citrus Mutual, an industry group, says Wednesday morning temperatures \u003ca href=\"http://www.cacitrusmutual.com/weather-watch.html\" target=\"_blank\">were not low enough\u003c/a> to cause significant damage to crops in the valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a National Weather Service table of record low temperatures throughout the region for this time of year:\u003c/p>\n\u003ctable width=\"100\">\n\u003ctbody>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Location\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>12/4 Record\u003c/strong> (Year)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>12/5 Record\u003c/strong> (Year)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>12/6 Record\u003c/strong> (Year)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>12/7 Record\u003c/strong> (Year)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Kentfield\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>26 (1936)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>28 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>28 (1921)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>28 (1927)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>San Rafael\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>32 (2004)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>31 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>32 (2009)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>33 (1956)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Napa\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>24 (1936)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>26 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29 (1948)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>28 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>34 (1897)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>40 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>40 (2009)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>38 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Downtown Oakland\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>38 (2004)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>35 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>38 (2005)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>37 (1998)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Richmond\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>37 (2004)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>34 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>35 (1967)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>35 (1956)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Livermore\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>23 (1909)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>21 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>26 (2009)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>26 (1916)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Mountain View\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>31 (2004)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>33 (1998)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>34 (2005)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>34 (2009)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>San Jose\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>26 (1909)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>32 (1931)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29 (1896)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Gilroy\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>27 (1990)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>27 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>28 (1959)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>25 (1960)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Monterey\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>34 (1942)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>31 (1942)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>35 (1942)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>31 (1942)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Santa Cruz\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>26 (1909)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29 (1972)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29 (1912)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>28 (1960)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>Salinas\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29( 2004)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29 (1968)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29 (1960)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>29 (1960)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003ctr>\n\u003ctd>\u003cstrong>King City\u003c/strong>\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>24 (2004)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>20 (1941)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>22 (1941)\u003c/td>\n\u003ctd>22 (1956)\u003c/td>\n\u003c/tr>\n\u003c/tbody>\n\u003c/table>\n\n",

The National Weather Service in Monterey is reporting record temperatures across what we'll call the Greater Bay Area — its forecast area includes the nine counties touching the bay plus Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the records: San Rafael, 30 degrees, breaking the record of 31 set in 1972; downtown Oakland, 34 (previous record: 34, set in 1972); Oakland airport, 30 (previous record: 35, set in 2006); Mountain View, 32 (previous record 33, set in 1998); Salinas airport, 27 (previous record: 29, set in 1942). San Jose hit 29 degrees and downtown San Francisco was at 40, both tying records set in 1972.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most eye-popping readings this morning? Healdsburg, at 16 degrees, and Napa Airport, at 19 degrees. It's not clear whether those are official records. Further afield, a place called Moody Canyon, in San Benito County east of Pinnacles National Park, had a low of 9 degrees. In the Sierra, it was 0 at Truckee, just across Donner Pass, and 8 at South Lake Tahoe. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters say we'll see more of the same tomorrow, with freeze warnings remaining in place for Friday morning. The very cold, clear weather will give way to cold, rainy or snowy weather, depending on where you are, Friday night and Saturday. Snow levels could be as low as 1,000 feet around San Francisco Bay, and forecasters say snow could fall over much the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys. A \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=sto&wwa=winter%20storm%20watch\" target=\"_blank\">winter storm watch\u003c/a> for the Sierra Nevada says as much as two feet of snow could fall over the highest elevations; a foot is possible in the Sierra foothills. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (Wednesday, Dec. 4): \u003c/strong>That frost you might have seen this morning doesn't lie — it's cold this morning. The National Weather Service says the chill broke records \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=RER&sid=MTR&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">only in Salinas\u003c/a>, where a 28 degree reading broke the mark of 29, set in 2004. But though temperature records stayed intact throughout the rest of the Bay Area, it was still \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=PNS&sid=MTR&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">the coldest morning of the season so far \u003c/a>throughout the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
