PE Trump's pick for EPA Director Scott Pruitt is getting slammed while hysterical leftists are touting that 'Climate Change has caused SUPERSTORMS to create massive destruction of the Northeast'.
File the massive destruction of the 'Great Hurricane of 1938' as evidence against man-made Climate Change causing massively destructive superstorms (Hurricane Sandy of 2012).
I remember the Hurricane of 1938.
The droning howl scared me to death and our windows blew in.
My father had died 6 months earlier.
A VERY bad year.
.
My mother remembered trees floating down the Potomac. The water was so high the trees and other debris couldn’t go under the arches of the Key Bridge in Georgetown.
My father was in Far Rockaway NY at the time. As a kid, he enjoyed the large waves, until they became too dangerous. He also talked about how deep the flooding was in the streets. As a kid, it seemed an adventure for him.
That is my take on it as I was there at the time, as a little kid.
I lived in the top floor of a 3 decker in the Dorchester Section of Boston.
I was home with my mother when the wind really started to howl.
It go so bad the house was swaying, and my mother laid down the lamps on the floor to keep them from toppling over.
She asked me to go to the front room on the street side and look and see if my father was coming.
When I got there the chimney above me toppled over and knocked the plaster ceiling down on me.
I ran down the stairs to the first floor and out into the storm, with my uncle who lived on the first floor chasing me and bringing me back into the house.
Because there was no warning, nothing was secured and metal ash barrels and other debris was flying every where.
Our house didn't come off its foundation but other 3 deckers got moved off their foundations.- Tom

And climate change had nothing to do with it. It was simply a timing issue. It was a typical North Atlantic hurricane that as it became extra tropical, it got sucked into a run of the mill developing low.
It was that unusual timing of events that produced such a large in area storm, that produced such a high surge.
It had nothing to do with climate change.
Yes, this nonsense about storms now being worse than ever before because of global warming/climate change is - nonsense - I recall driving along Ocean Drive in what was left of Sea Isle City, NJ back in the ‘60’s after some storm had leveled the town from the ocean all the way across the island to the back bay - climate change is a scam.....
