[Intro]
\n(Clearly…)
\nIn the event of an emergency
\nTune your radio
\n(You know!)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nMillibar and jaw dropping
\nThe atmosphere is all a smear
\n(Sh, sh, sh) shocking!
\nOut of nowhere…
\n(See the eye appear)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nRapid intensification
\n(Extreme! Know what I mean)
\nRapid intensification
\n(Obscene what we’ve done to this scene)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAll took part
\n(Blew it apart)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nFormation acceleration
\n(Eye opening)
\nHurricane gone insane
\n(Changing fate at a rapid rate)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nRapid intensification
\n(Extreme! Know what I mean)
\nRapid intensification
\n(Obscene what we’ve done to this scene)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAll took part
\n(Blew it apart)
\nToo late for fate
\n(Can’t go back to “start”)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nRapid intensification
\n(Extreme! Know what I mean)
\nRapid intensification
\n(Obscene what we’ve done to this scene)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n(Clearly…)
\nIn the event of an emergency
\nTune your radio
\n(You know!)
\nTo hear fear drawing near
\nSo you can say
\n(You got out of harm’s way)
\nOut of harm’s way
\n(Lived to see another day)<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE
\nAugust 16, 2025 — In the last 24 hours, Hurricane Erin exploded from a newly named storm into a powerful Category 5 hurricane \u2014 one of the most rapid cases of \u201cextreme rapid intensification\u201d ever recorded. This phenomenon is becoming more frequent as climate change warms ocean waters, which act as the fuel source for hurricanes. Warmer seas provide more latent heat energy, while higher atmospheric moisture levels supercharge storm systems. At the same time, reduced wind shear in certain regions allows storms to build vertically without disruption. The result is hurricanes that intensify at unprecedented speeds, giving coastal communities less time to prepare and dramatically increasing the risk of catastrophic damage.<\/p>\n

Tipping points<\/a> and feedback loops<\/a> drive the acceleration of climate change<\/a>. When one tipping point is toppled and triggers others, the cascading collapse is known as the Domino Effect<\/a><\/em>.<\/h3>\n
