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

NBC evening news always headlines severe weather (there’s always something somewhere in the US) and always leads with the number of millions of people who are under some sort of watch. Obvious effort to alarm people and magnify the effects of weather on the very people who are experiencing it. The brainwashing efforts are transparent and pervasive any more.

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.

Partner, I like that name of Beau Biden.

Beau Biden never ever did he tell "We the People" that we were going to drive one of those Tesla battery cars.

I am going to keep my gasoline operated car as long I can get my gasoline.

The combustion engine is one of the best inventions.

There were certainly some wicked storms last night in the southeast. In Georgia, there were a lot of trees knocked down and electricity was out for thousands.

However, it was no different than the summer storms we have received every year for as long as I can remember.

Speaking of storms, I seem to recall the weather forecasters predicting a horrible and more intense hurricane season for 2023. Here we are headed into the second week of August, and we have yet to see one major hurricane form. Now it may be that in late summer and early fall we will see more storms forming, but it certainly doesn’t create much trust in the climate-cultist’s predictions to have them be so wrong each time they cry “wolf!”.

Our local weather service warned us of high winds, heavy rain and possible tornadoes. We got a little rain, a little wind and no tornadoes. Looking at the weather map this morning showed that the weather passed by us to the north and the south.

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

A good promo for home emergency generators.

50 mph winds in Boise area yesterday, couple of downed tree branches. Where’s my national headline?

It’s pretty clear that El Ninos tend to create upper level winds that keep Atlantic Hurricanes from forming. Pacific is transitioning from La Nina to El Nino as we speak.

Sounds pretty typical for Alabama for this time of year.

Alabamians please let me know if I am wrong, seriously considering moving to Alabama.
