Historic? Unprecedented?

Leftists lie about such stuff so regularly that claims should be dismissed until historic data from printed materiall published in the past can be examined.

Historic and unprecedented are categorized under ‘recorded’ history which is a few hundred years. We don’t know what massive storm, hurricanes, hit a thousand years ago in the Americas

Recorded. Nothing happened before records.

Circa 1979 I was working in the North Sea. We had a severe storm with waves running 40 to 60 feet. We had to shut down operations on the drilling rig. All personnel were cleared from the decks and were in quarters. A freak wave hit our rig. It swept across the helideck that was over 115 feet above the water. It cleaned it off of service equipment. The pipe deck with containers was a shambles after that wave. Those containers weighed many tons. It was like a giant hand sweeping the decks clean. The wave even busted down the doors to our quarters. Those doors were not designed to be subject to waves as we were high above any normal waves. When the wave hit I heard all the noise and jumped out of bed into inches of cold seawater. I thought we were going down. I grabbed my survival suit and ran up the stairs to the exit. I did not say anything to the other guys in our quarters. I just wanted to survive. I did not need to say anything. If I had of slowed down they would have ran over me. We were scared.

Just a few months earlier the Alexander Kielland went down in the Norwegian sector. 123 men died. Some were my friends and co workers.
