Records go back to the mid 19th century, but good records start some time in the 20th century.

It hit land as a tropical depression… well, not really, more like a “rain event.” You mentioned “on record,” just how far do these records go? Im sure its a few hundred thousand years, hopefully a few million…?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-18/el-nino-peru-prepares-for-devastating-rain/6951042

about its consequences on Peru may be worth a look.

This one here :

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-23/global-el-nino/6954706

notes its effects on the Pacific and world more generally with a good graphic and news of the disaster in Papua New Guinea which has been going under the RADAR but causing a lot of human suffering.

Plus this :

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-27/after-the-fire-pinery-residents-return-home/6981332

is what people in my nearby vicinity, the outskirts of my home city are returning to after the Pinery bushfire a day or two ago. Our local Astronomical Observatory had a close call but survived. Two – maybe three – people died and many homes were destroyed with this bushfire still burning – and it’snot even summer here (Dec-Jan-Feb) yet.

One bushfire cannot be ascribed to Global Overheating and our nation has always had these bushfires – but the trend with many more and worse and earlier bushfires certainly can be and the implications here certainly has me scared. Can’t wait till autumn and hope we reach it with no further such natural (and yet now also artificially enhanced) disasters claiming more lives and homes and so much more.
