-Climate change is one of the biggest issues

Well, we here at "Late Night" think that seeing is believing,

which is why we have developed, at a great cost,

that simulates the dangers of extreme weather.

And here to walk us through it is our resident meteorologist

-Hey, let's take a look at our first virtual environment.

So, this is a beautiful, picturesque town

that, unfortunately, lies in the floodplain.

So, what would happen during a storm surge?

An average hurricane can produce a storm surge

-And -- And I'm sorry, Chip. Who is that?

-Now, watch what happens when that storm surge rises.

I took Sheila on our first date in that car.

-Okay. So, wow, these are really, like, specific details.

The longtime love of my life and the one that got away!

To illustrate that, let's go back in time,

just moments before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

So you're saying Pompeii was also an example

-Wait. Two years -- what's the timeline here?

-Natural disasters can strike at any time, Seth.

-Whoa, wait, what's going on? -...and that happened...

Sheila and Bryan just moved in together and got a dog,
