I am not a meteorologist. I am merely reporting facts as reported by meteorologists, such as the one below.
I have lived on Florida’s Gulf Coast for a quarter of a century. I have experienced a number of hurricanes but not the high categories of recent years. Normally a hurricane originates in the Atlantic or Caribbean, crosses Cuba into the Gulf and then hits anywhere from Texas to Florida.
Milton originated as a minor disturbance in the Pacific, was lifted over Mexico and appeared as a hurricane in the Gulf itself between Mexico and Texas. It is unusual–perhaps unprecedented–for a hurricane to originate in the Gulf itself. The warm waters of the Gulf is where tropical depressions and tropical storms intensify into hurricanes as they enter the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean.
Milton intensified over Sunday night from a Category 1 to a Category 5 with current sustained wind speed of 160 mph and 200mph wind gusts which makes it almost an enormous tornado.
The meteorologist describes the rapid intensification and other aspects of the hurricane as “unprecedented,” “very rare,” “crazy.”
Hurricane Milton Becomes Category 5
It seems that what we are presented with is a hurricane that began as a Category 1 hurricane inside the Gulf and became overnight a Category 5 that is expected to further intensify. “Unprecedented” does seem to be the right word.
Global warming advocates will say Milton is a product of global warming. Let’s examine this hypothesis. Judging from the disappearance of some glaciers and the open arctic waterways, there does seem to be some global warming. (Evidence of warming does not prove it is caused by fossil fuel technology and cattle herds. Global warming might simply be a reflection of the normal heating and cooling patterns of the planet or sun.)
Let us consent to the global warming, but not to its cause, as the cause is not relevant to whether Milton is a product of global warming. The global warming we are talking about is a fraction of a degree over a period of time. The transformation of hurricanes from Category 1 to Category 4 or 5 is recent. How does a small increase over time in temperature result in a very sudden massive increase in the intensity of hurricanes?
Perhaps someone can explain this?
Today I provide in the Guest section two concise factual reports on the governments’s decades long experimentation with weather modification and historical acknowledged examples. You will see not only dramatic intensification of hurricane strength but extraordinary changes in path as a result of government intervention.
Is it merely a coincidence that Helene and Milton have wiped out the ability of Florida and the Southeast to vote for Trump? Physical voting stations are no longer existent. The US Post Office has stopped delivery of mail-in ballots to impacted areas.
Is it merely a coincidence that the land on which sit the destroyed NC towns can now be made available to lithium mining companies?
Is it merely a coincidence that a lesson has been given to red states?
America is being driven into tyranny. The idiot American women think that the issue is abortion, which is a matter not for Trump or Kamala, but for the judiciary.
The idiot conservatives think the issue is the budget deficit or standing up to Russia, China, and Iran at the risk of nuclear war.
The idiot woke-liberal-left think it is their opportunity to steal power without comprehending that the chaos that results is ungovernable.
If we look objectively at the United States we see a government, perhaps merely a puppet of a ruling elite, that has no connection to reality. We see a Democrat government actively engaged in destroying the white ethnic Americans with denunciations of them as “Trump Deplorables,” “racists,” “white supremacists,” “threats to democracy,” “Russian agents.”
We see former US Senator and Secretary of State John Kerry calling for the abolishment of the First Amendment. He is joined by Hillary Clinton, and a large number of university law faculties and deans. And by the New York Times “1619 Project.” And by the course curriculums of US universities and public schools.
I have often wondered how many of the parents, who attend school board meetings and protest the indoctrination of their children that they are racist, who protest the indoctrination of their children that they might have been born into the wrong body, and who protest the sexualization of their children long before they reach puberty, and whose protests cause them to be thrown out of the meeting or arrested by police, still vote Democrat. I would bet that a majority of them will still vote Democrat.
One cannot help but wonder if the American people are not too insouciant and stupid to be able to remain a free people.
Of course, in the Woke-Democrat definition of freedom, freedom, as John Kerry and Hillary Clinton have made clear, consists in Democrat control over the narratives.
It should alarm us that there is no uproar when top Democrats and law school deans attack the First Amendment. It seems the First Amendment will be another victim of American insouciance.
