I must say, though it was unexpected, the weekend's storm doesn't seem nearly impossible. With the proper technology, control over the weather is perfectly attainable - hardly a thing of magic, and far more easily explicable than many of these so-called curses in the City.

Much of what we dismiss as impossible, magical, or beyond our ability is merely what hasn't been defined or quantified yet. A good piece of science fiction, for example, always has its basis in fact and works to expand upon the theoretically possible. More than a few works have influenced the creation of real-life technology, proving that the realm of possibility and the limits of human advancement are consistently far broader than most generally consider them to be.

Though, of course, I'm certain a storm of that magnitude would net the weather service a good many complaints - certainly if it were in July.

Clarke's Third Law, yeah?

Indeed! And it certainly seems fitting of our current situation. There's simply too much about the City seems far too controlled to rule out the possibility that it could be controlled by beings with highly advanced technology.

What's really distressing, to me, is that I've apparently been here before...but I can't remember that ever happening. It's crazy.

That's apparently not too uncommon of an occurrence. Certainly, given the City's propensity for drawing in individuals from any variety of timelines, it's reasonable enough to assume that it would be possible for it to pull in the same individual from a slightly alternate reality.

Though I don't imagine any sort of theory makes the experience any less disconcerting.
