Crochet top depicting data from the NOAA billion-dollar weather and climate disaster database. Each hexagon is a year since 1980; blues (13 total) are years in which the Northeast climate region experienced a storm in the tropical cyclone category in which overall damages/costs reached or exceeded $1 billion. The 44 hexagons – one for each year in the dataset – are made in a swirl pattern reminiscent of a cyclone.  This is titled in honor of Jimmy Buffett whose song by the same name was released in 1974, and who is loved and missed very much by the maker of this piece.
