Climate Refugees Outside My Window

It hasn’t stopped raining for days here in the permanent drought southwest, and I am starting to see pairs of animals walking towards the boat ramp.

Look for NOAA to upgrade the region to exceptional drought tomorrow.

    How convenient is this?
    “Humberto was declared a Category 1 storm in a 5 a.m. advisory from the U.S. National Hurricane Center, missing the record for tardiest first hurricane by three hours. Since 1967, when satellites have had the ability to watch the Atlantic continuously, the latest such a powerful storm formed was 8 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2002, according to Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the center”.

    • But did it have an eye? If it didn’t, they are blatantly lying.

        Given the timing I think it is a safe assumption that they are fudging the data (again) … they certainly wouldn’t want headlines or us skeptics beaking off about new records for lack of hurricane activity!

    • We knew they were going to do that, and the reference to satellites is complete bullshit. They can’t measure wind speeds from satellite imagery. There was no way they were going to allow the record to be broken and take all the bad press.

      NOAA determined in April 2012 that it was going to be the warmest year in US history, regardless of actual temperatures for the rest of the year.

        Looking at the satellite image, with some imagination you could believe it might be a minimal hurricane. But this other garbage they have named, some of them barely had any clouds!

    Still raining here in the high desert and the storm track looks like it will rain most of the day. New record on Monday of .96 at the airport.
