Posted on October 7, 2016 by Darin

Matthew is expected to intensify today back to a Cat 4 Hurricane and it’s expected to rake the entire east coast of Florida,Georgia and parts of the Carolina coast.

      The fact that the US has enjoyed the longest ‘drought’ of major storms making landfall in recorded history is lost on them.

        Yup and I was telling someone yesterday that the cycle is starting again.We’ll probably see 2-3 storms next year,3-4 the following and 10+ round about 2020 at peak.

        That’s assuming Solar cycle 24 ramps up,but if it continues to be flat,then all bets are off.

        Michael it has been 4 000+ days since the US was hit by a major hurricane. Just another one of those increasingly severe weather events due to global warming.

    “There’s hurricanes in Florida…”

    What nature doesn’t do to us will be done by our fellow man.

    Here in Perth we had the coldest September in 22 years, and – judging on the growth of my lawn – an unusually wet winter. This is the city that Tim Flannery predicted would become a ghost metropolis with bone-dry dams and trees fighting over dogs. Safe to say that Flannery’s cred has taken another knock…

    Gregory, it isn’t only in Perth. Here in Leonora the winter just passed reminded me of the winters I suffered whilst existing in Palmerston North.
    Cold but not evil, windy and grey skies.
    If I hadn’t been prospecting in the bush I would have ended up with the depression that goes with grey windy winters. Yellow metal in the hands appears to be the only antidote.

    Now in October we should be getting our first forty degree day, but none on the horizon yet. I have talked to long time residents who all agree that it was one of the longest winters in memory. Perhaps global warming has made their memories unreliable, along with the diaries that two of them have kept for over sixty years.

      New Zealand met service predicted above average temperatures for October. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_whistle3.gif Well, one week in it is frigging freezing and we are having our fourth week of almost continual rain and wind. At 2 o’clock today it was 13 deg C in the city of snails.

    ‘The Bureau is lying, yet again.’

    I would point out the tracking window for Hurricane Mathew.The area of the Atlantic from Cape Hatteras,NC down to Maracaibo,Venezuela,across to the Yucatan Peninsula and the entire Gulf of Mexico is monitored 24/7 by several billion dollars of hardware.We have surface buoys,sub-surface buoys ,sea-floor buoys,instruments on oil rigs and gas platforms,ships at sea and god knows much much gear in orbit.We have Radar,short wave radar,Doppler radar and we still fly planes into Hurricanes to gather even more data.

    All of that data is being recorded and fed to a whole herd of computer models and at least one super computer in real time.And with all of it,our entire multi-billion dollar arsenal of the latest high tech gear and our prediction window? 4 hourshttp://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_cool.gif

    And these idiots claim they can predict what will happen in 5-10-50 years? Color me skeptical.

    Anyone willing to bet against Matt Drudge and for NOAA?

    Not me!

    You wait when the ‘disaster’ doesn’t materialise to the level they predict, NOAA will claim an ‘unexpected’ (funny how many of those we have had with this administration) path that the storm took.

      It’s become a pattern, has it not? And agencies such as these losing credibility will cost lives.

        Or cause people to spend a lot of money unnecessarily or leave their homes vulnerable to looters when they evacuate!

          I am a veteran of numerous hurricanes in Central Florida having lived in Melbourne and Orlando for many years….The population there is over 90% white and middle class; therefore, looting seldom happens in a hurricane even when the stores are knocked wide open during the storm. If people really need something from the store – I kid you not – they leave a note and money on the counter.

          Also, being in a mostly white area they know FEMA and state of Florida help is little or none, so they take care of things themselves – and everyone eats well – at least for a few days – because with the electric off, it’s cook the food in the frig or lose it.

          In 2004, when I lived in Orlando, we got hit with no fewer than three hurricanes in a six week period. Afterward, the city looked like it had been carpet bombed by the Luftwaffe, but only a few months later most of the major repairs had been made – and Orlando was open for business.

    Maybe the Clinton Foundation can now destroy Florida the same way they did with Haiti.

    And they are on the move to do it again.
