Excellent malapropism!
Malapropism? Do you mean misappropriation? I don’t think anything I said was confusing or meant to be funny. It’s been 9 years since a major hurricane (Cat 3+) has made landfall on the continental US.
They’ve only recently started changing their modeling to include “storms” in the statistical discussion. Most of those storms include 35-74 mph tropical storms, and the media gets frothy just talking about those.
They want it all to mean that “global warming” is making things worse, when in reality, most summer thunderstorms in Florida have winds in that range, albeit not sustained.
