The Super El Niño Just Got Stronger — These States Get Hit First All 50 Ranked

The Super El Niño Just Got Stronger — These States Get Hit First All 50 Ranked Parts of the eastern Pacific are running more than 4°C hotter than normal, and NOAA now gives better-than-even odds this becomes the strongest El Niño on record. This winter it won't hit America evenly. We ranked all 50 states, from safest to the one that gets hit first, and number one is not California. Learn how weakened trade winds and a supercharged jet stream steer storms across the southern tier, why some states face atmospheric rivers, floods and winter tornadoes while others dry out or lose their snow, and what the monster El Niños of 1982, 1997 and 2015 reveal about who's most at risk.
