My prediction: if there is a fall hurricane on the east coast, it will hit NC between the 11th and the 17th of November. Mrs. JimRed and I will be spending that week on the Outer Banks.

If it hits, blame me and berate me soundly!

Old news here. The Dems have already moved on to the wilfires in Kali. Maybe earthquakes or volcanoes will be the GW poster boy in the future but only if there’s plenty of good visuals to go along with it. /s/

The Dems would hold hearings in Congress when they were in the minority - where just they attended.....on some issue they wanted publicized....

Why can’t the Repubs hold hearings on the truth about global warming???? And how bogus it is????

Why, that's easy! Because the MSM would instantly point out how the "hearings" were unofficial, trumped-up, phony charades, conducted in some basement store-room, and carrying no weight whatsoever. They would explain that the Republicans were by these sham hearings demonstrating their desperate need to get a little attention from the press, and would proceed to laugh themselves silly at the spectacle.

Note that none of these things happened when the Democrats pulled the stunt you suggested. When they did it, their mock hearings were reported as examples of how the minority party, feisty and principled, was looking into things that needed examining even though the tyrannical and corrupt majority party censored their efforts and fought them every step of the way.

The Republicans know they'd never get away with this, not in a million years, and that it would therefore not be worth the effort.

It was interesting to watch as storms got named this year that in the past would never have been mentioned. They were really trying to get the number of named storms to match the prediction.

Down here in the Bahamas (Exumas) we are VERY pleased with the weather this summer and are keeping our fingers crossed until the hurricane seasons ends Nov. 1st. Got about 10” of rain in one day last week.

Hurricane season ends November 30. Or is it different for the Bahamas?

Due to the lack of hurricanes this season, the GW acolytes have suggested that the hurricane season be extended to Dec 1 in order to allow more time.........

Note the DBM reference in the very first line.

Their desperation was evident when early on in the season they began to give names to tropical depressions because there simply where no tropical storms developing they could name.

LOL...you’re right. Living everyday close to nature on a sailboat is proof enough for me that Mother Nature is in control of the situation and there’s diddly squat we can do to change that. The GW crowd is in it for the $ and more control over the little people.
Cheers

***Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center..... forecast a very high likelihood (85% chance) of an above normal Atlantic hurricane season.***

Wasn’t it found out a few years ago that they make virtually the SAME prediction every year?

Will be interesting to see how they “turn it around” and say that global warming is responsible for the lack of hurricanes and that this lack of hurricanes is very BAD for those in the U.S. who need rain.

We here in Ga. actually DO depend on hurricanes to bring some rain.

I think all weather is cyclical.

They blossomed just at landfall in most of those cases, and at night for many.

Noel is totally disorganized but is making a lot of rain.
