What’s a hurricane?
I can’t remember the last time I even heard about a huriwhatever, and I live in the southeast.
What up wit dat, Mr. Weather Expert AlGore?
The phoniest of all the baloney is this idea of increasing severe weather. I believe it is more the opposite. The only thing that is increasing is the population which places more people in the path of any given severe weather event than in the past.
Anecdotal evidence is always used by the climate change crowd, most of it very contrived evidence. So I shall dish some out the other way.
In 1900, Galveston was largely wiped out by a hurricane and ten thousand people died. Better forecasting today might have reduced that death toll but Galveston would probably still be wiped out (the sea wall they built later was only for half that bad a storm as Ike proved). Conclusion — modern Ike a shadow of the historic storm.
In 1926 and 1928 and again in 1935, Florida was hit by massive killer hurricanes. Hundreds died in each instance. The only comparable storm since then was Andrew in 1992, and a close second from Charley in 2004. Yet the climate change crowd only mention Andrew and Charlie. What’s up with that? (what’s up with that?)
The two worst tornado outbreaks in the past hundred years were in 1925 and 1974. I would stay away from the Ohio valley in 2021 then.
The 1936 heat wave — even worse than 1911. This is actually getting rather brutal, call me off before I hurt somebody.
