Helene has devastated sections of the western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. The devastation in some areas is unreal. Not only have the main artery roads, interstates and bridges been wiped out, but also communication lines, fiber optic cables, transmission towers, cell towers, the works have been destroyed.
What follows is a discussion of what to expect during and after Hurricane Idalia comes ashore. Some of what is listed here will undoubtedly be true of many parts of the Southeast in the coming days and weeks. I am indebted to a friend in Florida for this information. Take from this what works for you.
Hurricane Idalia continues on path to reach the west coast of Florida. A potential rainfall forecast is seen below.
Please pay attention to weather forecasts involving this storm. This storm is expected to be stronger than the original forecasts.
Dr. Tom Woods has delved into the climate change hypocrisy that has been amped up because of Hurricane Ian. None of this hysteria is unexpected. The opportunity to gain more control over the public through government activities will NEVER be ignored by the communists who inhabit the Left.
The images coming out of Florida are unreal. They remind me of the pictures after Hurricane Andrew. They re-affirm the power of Mother Nature. Hurricane Ian has caused widespread damage at a level that is simply hard to fathom.
Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy once again has raised the possibility about chemical weapons use by Russia. Zelenskyy wants more sanctions against Russia to prevent the possible use of such weapons. Such discussions of chemical weapons use is the instrument that Zelenskyy is currently using to solicit more support for Ukraine in its war against Russia.
A new Gallup poll shows that President Biden is in first place at last. Biden has suffered from declining popularity with the American public. In fact, his poll ratings have been historical markers for unpopularity.
However, in a recent poll Biden came in first. Biden beat out brussels sprouts for America’s least favorite vegetable. Press secretary Psaki complained that the characterization of Biden as a vegetable was a bit unfair. Psaki pointed out that Biden did move about of his own accord from time to time.
As one commenter has noted:
Mother Nature, is politically neutral, it cares not what party you belong to. During times of devastation and destruction, it’s up to each and every one of us to help those affected. Put differences aside, the hurt, the pain, the despair, of the loss of life or property, requires compassion.
In you were in its path, I urge you to read Sundance’s post on what to do now.
Preparations for the arrival of Hurricane Ida should be completed today. Ida is gaining strength rapidly. She’s pushing a lot of water. Wind field – NHS reflects approximately 60 miles across of hurricane winds and 250 miles of tropical storm winds. People in the coastal area of Louisiana and Mississippi should pay close attention to local officials and heed all evacuation orders. [National Hurricane Center]
