The big one: The East Coast’s
USD 100 billion hurricane event
Nearly 200 years ago, a powerful hurricane decimated the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast United States. Packing wind gusts of over 156 miles per hour, the Norfolk Long Island Hurricane of 1821 surged up the Eastern Seaboard creating chaos and wreaking havoc from the Outer Banks of North Carolina all the way up to the Boston metropolitan area. If this hurricane was measured by today’s standards, it would be a strong Category 4
storm — unlike anything the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast have recently seen or experienced
This is what Providence, Rhode Island looked like in 1815.
The deadliest Atlantic hurricane occurred in 1780, with winds over 200 MPH. It stripped the bark off trees and lifted heavy cannons 100 feet in the air. At least 24,000 people died.
Easter Sunday 1913 was one of the worst days on record in the US, with thousands dead in floods and tornadoes. Omaha, Nebraska was largely destroyed by a tornado.
In 2014, NASA announced that Alaska’s Taku glacier was retreating for the first time.
“This is a big deal for me because I had this one glacier I could hold on to,” said Pelto, a glaciologist at Nichols College. “But not anymore. This makes the score climate change: 250 and alpine glaciers: 0.”
The Chicago Tribune wrote in 1935 that all of the glaciers in the Alaska Coastal Range were melting, including the Taku Glacier.
“The “retreat of the huge Mendenhal and Taku glaciers shows that the entire Alaska coastal range ice cap is melting away along the fringe, Father Bernard R. Hubbard, the “glacier priest,” said today.”
Kamala Harris received less than 1,000 votes in the Democratic Primaries last year, and is now running the country.
Her niece says white men are the greatest threat to our country. This was completely ignored by the press, but had she the word “black” instead of “white” it would have been considered a hate crime.
When she found out that the Boulder shooter was Syrian, she again attacked white men.
Besides her racism and sexism, she is also a liar. According to the New York Times, black men are six times as likely to commit mass murder as white men.
at least 358 armed encounters nationwide last year — nearly one a day, on average — in which four or more people were killed or wounded, including attackers. The toll: 462 dead and 1,330 injured, sometimes for life, typically in bursts of gunfire lasting but seconds.
nearly three-fourths of victims and suspected assailants whose race could be identified were black. Some experts suggest that helps explain why the drumbeat of dead and wounded does not inspire more outrage.
“Clearly, if it’s black-on-black, we don’t get the same attention because most people don’t identify with that. Most Americans are white,” said James Alan Fox, a professor of criminology at Northeastern University in Boston. “People think, ‘That’s not my world. That’s not going to happen to me.’ ”
Black Victims, Black Shooters Though the rate of gun homicides plummeted for seven years after its 1993 peak, blacks are still six times as likely as whites to be both victims and offenders.
Last year Democrats spent the year burning cities down over the death of a black man in a Democrat run city, while nearly ten black people per day were being shot by gangs in another Democrat run city – Chicago.
