This event is outside the realm of any possible explanation by modern meteorological science. The experts are totally flummoxed. So they default to calling it a 1000 year freak occurrence, they also speculate this type thing will become a 5-10 year event, and that climate change has increased the frequency of such outliers by a factor of 150 minimum. They're actually understating every bit of it. They're dealing with a completely new area of atmospheric physics /Earth interaction and have zero experience with it.
