   A comparison of interest in climate-change disasters, measured as Wikipedia editing interest:

   1: LA fires
   2: Valencia floods (death toll approx 1 order of magnitude higher)
   3: Derna dam collapse in Libya (death toll *at least* 1 order of magnitude higher than Valencia, perhaps 2).

   Two sorts of explanation here:
   1: Where WP editors are (e.g., many fewer in North Africa, probably lots in California)
   2: What WP editors think is interesting (the whole world is fascinated by Hollywood, LA, etc)
