Paradise, a town built on volcanic ridges with a maze of dead-end roads offering few ways in and out, was particularly difficult to evacuate.

Given that the movements of these atmospheric ridges are driven by temperature changes, it should come as little surprise that climate change could have a profound effect on them.
