Wildfiring

Mass firing or purge of employees without proper review, resulting in massive destruction of human resources in a government agency or business. Often the firings are blanket firing of groups of people in certain areas, or types of employees easy to fire with the ability to appeal. The employees are often people who have no clue as the function and value of the employees and do no analysis of the implications and costs of the firing.

In some cases the firings are in retaliation for people excelling at their job, especially when it impacts special interests, with self interests vs the governments or the company.
A major wildfiring occurred when 300 employees responsible for Nuclear Weapons Securing were fired without notice and understanding of the implications, and there email and contact information was lost.

Attempts to rescind the order after the implications became apparent to those in charge of national security were made difficult and unsuccessful in the timeframe needed to prevent a emergency situation and possible catastrophe.

It is very difficult to undo a wildfiring as much of the devastation to the human resources has been done by destroying the productive capacity of the institution.

If the images of the ZoomBombing were not bad enough , the images of projectile vomit on the screens of those at the video conference were even worse and much grosser.

Medicane

An extremely rare hybrid low-pressure system that occurs in the mid-latitude Mediterranean Sea. Medicanes are similar in virtue to a tropical cyclone but have the characteristics of a mid-latitude storm. Medicanes possess a warmer core than most Mediterranean low-pressure systems. Typically the cooler waters of the Mediterranean don't have warm enough water to generate the energy necessary to fuel tropical waves and related thunderstorms that spawn a tropical cyclone. Medicanes have the potential for tropical-storm-force winds, heavy rainfall, and coastal flooding .
Rare storms like a Medicane may become more common if climate change makes the Mediterranean Sea warmer.
