Hurricanes could push deeper into U.S. in coming decades
NBC News / Comcast ^ | February 27, 2023 | By Denise Chow (D-NBC)

Stronger storms fueled by climate change will penetrate deeper into the United States and threaten parts of the country unaccustomed to high-speed winds, according to a new analysis of the country's vulnerability to tropical cyclones.

The report on worsening winds and their projected financial impacts was released Monday by First Street Foundation, a nonprofit research group based in Brooklyn, New York.

Researchers found that more intense storms brought on by climate change would expose millions more properties to wind damage in the next 30 years, particularly as tropical cyclone winds penetrate farther inland and as storms migrate poleward up the East Coast.

Scientists have said that while climate change is not expected to boost the number of hurricanes that strike each year, it will intensify the storms that do form.

The report used historic observations of hurricane formation, strength and landfall rates, and incorporated how these factors are affected by changes to sea surface temperatures, sea levels and atmospheric temperatures in a warming climate. The group's peer-reviewed model included 50,000 synthetic storm tracks that were used to gauge how wind direction and speeds would be altered in various future climate scenarios.

The new wind model adds to First Street's collection of risk assessments, which include risks of flood, fire and heat to properties in the contiguous United States.

Why is it illegal to yell, “Fire” in a movie theater but legal to try to scare millions over something that will happen naturally? This has already happened at times. If this prediction does not bear fruit will we be able to take all these peoples earthly possessions and jail them for 20 years? These cult members have got take some responsibility and have some stake in the game.

From earlier this morning...
Reflecting sunlight to cool the Earth must be studied before climate change gets much worse, urges group of 60 scientists
That's even larger than the 50 ex-spooks who said Hunter's laptop was "Russian disinformation," so you know it's trustworthy.

Wisconsin is overdue for a Cat 5 hurricane.

When "journalists" (or anybody) uses the word "could".

Anything COULD happen.

Hurricanes COULD literally rain cats and dogs.

Hurricanes COULD reverse their rotations in the northern and southern hemispheres.

"Scientists" and "journalists" touting this insanity COULD be crackpots.

Oh wait, the last one COULD be true!

Pull this article out in 30 years (if we’re still alive). It will hold up just about as well as the “imminent Ice Age” articles from when I was a kid.

So...climate change is so dangerous it is going to change physics - and allow strong hurricanes to move further inland by sucking energy out of the dirt? :)

Fantasy and fabricated out of thin air. There is zero, zilch, nil, empty set of true science behind this.

If it’s research, show us the data.

“ Wisconsin is overdue for a Cat 5 hurricane.”

Yes. I can see how, after rising sea levels move the Gulf Coast to St. Louis, Iowa will be devastated by repeated hurricanes. Buy corn and soybean futures now!

I rather doubt that South Dakota will be at risk for hurricanes …tornadoes and an occasional derecho, but hurricanes no.

So they are playing with "models" that have NEVER even been close to reality in their predictions. Americans should be able to SUE these groups for Damages if any law, statute or regulation is put in place as a result of these fraudulent predictions if they can demonstrate an injury or loss of ANY KIND, YES that means if it costs you MONEY in any way
