While conspiracy theories are fun, they are not always based in fact. The warm Gulf Stream current was accurately predicted to strengthen this storm as it approached the U.S., while cooler waters closer to the continental shelf, wind shear and interaction with land were expected to weaken the storm.

There are no black helicopters in the grassy knoll for the storm system formerly known as TS Bonnie.

Okay, Nauti, explain 2015's T.S. Bill. T.S. Bill reportedly struck Texas at peak intensity of 60 m.p.h. Since this happened in the western Gulf of Mexico, there can be no Gulf Stream claims. The Continental Shelf in the western Gulf goes out a long, long way. T.S. Bill "formed" over the Continental Shelf. No excuse there, either.

Although T.S. Bill made officially made landfall at 60 m.p.h., only one land-based station -- and automated station on a barrier island -- recorded tropical storm force winds and only of 40 m.p.h. (Interestingly, that one automated station on a Texas barrier island was the only U.S. land-based station to report tropical storm force winds in 2015.)

The NHC repeatedly reports windspeeds that are 10-15 m.p.h. over actually recorded windspeeds. In T.S. Bill's case, it was 20 m.p.h. over the actual speed. Do you really not see a pattern?
