Hurricanes in Florida

On approach of autumn the Floridian quakes with apprehension. It is the dreaded season of hurricanes. Tearing through the West Indies, they often strike the coast with deadly effect. With scarcely a note of warning, houses are overthrown, sailboats blown from the water, and orange groves swept bare of leaves and fruit. Some of the old settlers say that they can detect signs of the storm a day before it breaks upon them. “You feel it in the air long before it comes,” says one. This is, however, an indefinite sign. The devastation lingering in its track certainly proves that “you feel it in the air when it comes.” One of these typhoons visits the coast every year.”

    Because of technology we now have days to prepare and structures which can better withstand nature’s forces. We have the technology because of the cheap energy. our betters want to deny to us.

    Shocking to hear that a state that has 1,350 miles of oceanfront is hurricane prone.

    Surely this is some of the first EVAAAH documented dis/mis/mal information from the Wyoming Democrat from way back in 1879 – whooduh thunk climate den!ers were a thing back then… truly shocking.

    The South Pacific’s first proto-cyclone is trying to form in Fiji’s lovely warm tropical waters this week, a mere sparkle in modellers’s eyes at the moment, yet they’ll be getting excited at the thought of a ‘disturbance’ happening two weeks BEFORE our official Cyclone Season kicks off on the 1st of November.

    I can almost ‘smell’ summer on the breeze – except it’s still snowing in NZ’s South Island, brrrrrr!

    1879 when CO2 was at an Utopia low level.

    This showed up in a post on X about the increase in surface sea water temperature which subsequently will spawn more hurricanes.

    My guess: the usual government agency data fudging…
    would love to see this debunked.
