Hurricanes Are Moving Slower - And That's a Hugh Problem

BS!

In the decades before satellite photography, they did not see developing storms during their early formative period. Storms were identified only when they had grown enough and ships at sea encountered them. We also didn’t have hurricane hunter aircraft until the storm got close enough to the US Mainland from which they’re based (in the 1970s, that was Keesler AFB, Miss.).

So add those formative days to those olden times hurricanes, and there is no slowing down.

I knew Goebbels would be there, staring at me.

When I scroll down and see that mug, I crack up every time.

Slow em down altogether until they just stop

That was sweet back in the day. Much more so for South America than Africa...

"Tropical cyclones, including hurricanes and typhoons, are now crawling across the planet at a slower pace than they did decades ago, dragging out and amplifying their devastation, new research published Wednesday shows."

If global warming alarmists like NASA had publicly predicted this effect years ago then the so-called effects of global warming would have been a tad credible imo.

But since the effects of politically correct global warming are being identified with “Captain Obvious” hindsight imo, global warming is nothing more than a fictitious excuse for higher, unconstitutional federal taxing and spending for this issue imo.

• ”I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” —James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)

• ”To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.” —Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791

• ”The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797.

At last, a breakthrough. We are starting to understand how the Karl Rove / George Bush “Weather Machine” actually operates.

Last hurricane I was in seemed like it didn’t move at all for a week.

Hugh has a huge problem in that case-and the person who actually typed that headline needs to start using a grammar check...

LOL that was my substitute for Playboy, without wife getting bent out of shape.

Hurricanes aren’t even close to moving as slow as the DOJ/FBI.

Gee, maybe Congress can come up with a multi-BILLION dollar program we can pass into law which will SPEED UP these storms. /s

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
