Here's a photo showing hurricanes Kilo, Ignacio, and Jimena from left to right. This is the first time three Category 4 storms have been seen in central and eastern Pacific Ocean at one time, according to The Weather Channel. Category 4 hurricanes have wind speeds anywhere from 130-156 miles per hour.

Hurricanes are categorized primarily by wind speeds. the higher the sustained wind speed, the stronger the hurricane. A category 1 hurricane has winds up to 74-95 mph, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says they are typically expected to cause some damage to buildings as well as power outages for a few days. A category 4 hurricane is considered catastrophic, with severe damage to buildings and power outages for weeks if not months.

So they go up the west coast to Alaska to the foot of McKinley...just at the right time....and I’d call it a perfect storm.

The Pacific Ocean is pissed that Typhoons are now called something else.

Been getting tiresome watching the damn things marching toward us only to veer off. Apparently the el Nino or whatever condition makes the water off Mexico warm is whipping up storms that organize into these things.

Next year, be something different.

“Hurricanes are categorized primarily by wind speeds. the higher the sustained wind speed, the stronger the hurricane.”

Is the audience of this publication comprised of preschoolers?

My gosh!

No hurricanes in the Pacific.

Typhoons are what we USED to call them until the GW folks wanted to increase the number of hurricanes.

I grew up on the Oregon coast and we NEVER had a hurricane. I recall the anemometer on our house pegging at 110 MPH then flying off the roof.

We called it a coastal storm and then replaced windows...

according to The Weather Channel.

TWC has become the biggest purveyor of GW propaganda that I have ever witnessed in my life.

You should see the crap they espouse early mornings on weekends. ...........

Jonathan Cahn and the Mystery of the Semitas warned us about NATURAL diasters, financial disasters, political disasters, a CHANGING in the winds. God will not be MOCKED.
