A severe weather outbreak has killed one person and knocked out power to more than 1 million customers across the eastern US on Monday.

Officials say that a 28-year-old man was killed after being struck by lightning from passing storms in Florence, Alabama, on Monday evening. Police say the man was working outside at the Florence Industrial Park when storms hit.

More than 130 million Americans across the region were at risk of seeing the severe weather outbreak as powerful thunderstorms produced hurricane-force wind gusts, large hail and tornadoes across the region

We now know that Beau Bidens Brain cancer and Hunters addiction to cocaine were a direct result of climate change.

We need to start buying electric cars to end cancer, drug addiction, and Chinese bribes.

A downed tree, a ‘possible tornado’ and a person being rescued from a 2nd story window without structure damage.

Those were the pics NY Post staff were able to find for the “deadly severe weather outbreak.”

Clearly NY Post drank the ‘climate change’ Kool-Aid, or they, too, are under the government’s thumb.

I’m so glad this is front page news. s/ Two weeks ago a large swath of Oklahoma and Kansas had hurricane strength winds too, and never a peep in the legacy media. 100 mph winds recorded at the local airport and in Tulsa too.

East Coast winds must be more important than winds in flyover country.

At any given moment, there are 1,800 thunderstorms raging across our planet. I remember reading that as a child in the 1970s.

In the United States alone, close to 300 people are struck by lightning every year with about 30 of them dying.

i have noticed many more emergency weather alerts on the tv

when it is a pretty mild weather event

i think they are trying to ramp up the fear

prepping for the climate emergency that is coming

By comparison, a power outage is trivial

China is being ravaged by typhoon caused floods. Bejing is flooded. Interestingly, although the Forbidden Palaces are flooded, the buildings are built up above the known flood water level.

Hundreds of years ago, the builders were aware of the yet to come flood waters. Modern builders, he CCP developed a city within the flood plain and are suffering a disaster of near infinite proportions.

The video is quite long but extremely interesting. The sight of untold numbers of cars, some with people in them, floating down stream seems impossible.

Of all the 1 million people without power, imagine if all they had to drive were EV’s.

Remember the kid in school who was soooo stupid that if they couldn’t copy something from someone else, they’d fail?

Works as a journalist now.

My electricity was out for almost 4 days from the winds in KS. Not fun.
