These “experts” predicted that coastal New England would get flooded.
Instead the remnants flooded northern VT.
They only missed by three hundred miles.
Lol.
Experts at BS is more like it.
Parts of Texas was sold a bill of goods that meant that 20% of the state's power capacity depends on wind and solar power. Both of those sources are not available to any significant degree during a hurricane.
Simple solution: Send all your money to FedZilla. They will stop the weather.
Earliest by two weeks
Weather happens. Only issue nowadays is that there are people living in places where they didn’t before, so the news is them being affected for weather that always occurs, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker.
Which â ironically â was exactly the same solution suggested by Newsweek back in 1975, when they predicted Earth would soon freeze.
I hear the weather nuts âscreamingâ about âthe highest tempsâ since 1913 (or whatever.)
Kind of makes you wonder what was going on in 1913.
And 110 years in weather terms is literally ânothing.â The earth is very old and geologic terms are usually stated in the hundreds of thousands or millions of years.
The same crap they were spouting after hurricane Katrina creamed New Orleans, which led to predictions of more and stronger versions in the coming years: then we went almost a decade before a Cat 3 or higher hit the mainland US!
From “Watts Up with That” : “ Most 10-year anniversary articles about Katrina omit one chapter of that sad story: its exploitation by climate activists. They predicted more and stronger hurricanes. Letâs grade them. Every time activists falsely cry âwolfâ we become weaker, less able to prepare for real threats. Remembering is the first step to learning.”
It’s about time we try the mother of all fuel air bombs right down the eye of the hurricane when they’re in the Mid-Atlantic that way no one’s going to complain.
which hit the Texas coast as a Category 1
The kids live in Katy, west side of Houston.
The storm hit them directly. An hour later they helped the neighborhood pick up fallen twigs. Done.
The increasing severity of hurricanes open borders acutely stresses power grids like those in Texas, which could adversely affect everything from homes to health care facilities. It could cost a city "billions of dollars to recover from these deadly storms invasions...
Yeah, when it entered the Carribean, it was a Category Five. But when it finally reached Texas it was a low Cat 1/Tropical Storm.
Its biggest damage was rain, and lots of it.
Unless they’re pimping their latest global warming funding grant, Hurricane specialists would say, “Yup, it was a hurricane.”
Journalists are so stupid.
I live north of Houston. I have some siding and roof damage, and also some water damage. Five days without power. Temperatures in the low 90s every day. I did what earlier Texans did before air conditioning. Every night I took a cold shower and slept with the windows open. I cooked on a backpacking stove. My refrigerator is the cleanest and emptiest it has been since it was new.
What a bunch of nonsense. The only thing unusual about Beryl was that it popped up early.
Category over the open water is not significant.
It made landfall as a Cat 1. It produced a not unexpected amount of rain for a hurricane.
The issues with the power grid are not issues of the forces of nature, but rather government mismanagement.
But nothing like blaming it on “climate change” to whip up hysteria and profit off it.
Does this mean that we are all gonna die...again?
Earliest hurricane ever ... since when? Aren’t there records from the 1600s but what about before that?
“...hurricanes acutely stresses power grids like those in Texas...”
It is not the hurricane stressing the power grid, it is the lack of power due to their reliance on windmills.
And, it is falling trees that cause the power outages.
