Why isn't BIden using a sharpie to redirect it???

At the moment, Houston would almost welcome a hurricane. No rain in roughly forever, and 100+ temperatures (remember Houston specializes in humidity) for most of the last couple of months.

Oh, I don't know. I guess I'd be without druthers if a hurricane smited Texas or Florida.

Ummmmm...

Because Biden isn't a delusional dumbass?

Edit to add:

Seen elsewhere:

Most people adjust their opinions to reflect reality.

However, there are 2 groups that adjust reality to reflect their opinions.

Very powerful people.
Very stupid people.

So Brent has vanished, evidently swept out to sea. Too bad cutbacks to the coast guard means no search for him.

The first estimates of $9.4 billion in insured losses for Florida. Uninsured? Well you still have the right to permit-less concealed carry.

Unfortunately he's probably just on a timeout, guessing from the spate of PAs in his posts before he vanished.

Quite convenient for him though, since his posts in this thread aged like milk.

Yes Epoisse de Bourgogne, not allowed on public transport and not allowed in SC.

The current average for home insurance in Florida is $6,000 a year. Forty five percent of that is hurricane liability coverage and 29% flood coverage. Citizens is the state owned insurer of last resort. DeSantis is playing games with its premiums of course. Hence:Hurricane Idalia Might Wreck Florida’s Insurer of Last Resort If  the reserves are exhausted premiums on motorists will have to make up the losses. Yes you read that right. Insured auto owners will be called upon to subsidize oceanfront homes that can't get coverage anywhere else from a regular commercial insurer.

Its called free market competition republican style.

No kidding? More than just damage to the car or are reserves attached somehow?

Future premiums for both auto and home to pay off the deficit plus rebuild reserves. Its like electing republicans you can pay me now and pay again later.

Assuming Brents 20th Resurrection comes to pass, one wonders, how will he explain this Hurricane season? It ain't a Hurricane if it ain't a Hurricane that kills people?

 

[wmw999 2,122]

Whatever measure minimizes it the most. Total people killed, dollars damage in all countries, total countries affected -- anything that can come up under some other year or place in the past.

Imagine the issues that ships transiting between the EU and US east coast ports are facing.

Hurricane season is on pause for a few days to honour the passing of Jimmy Buffet.

Quote

Lee hit a rare strength that few storms have ever achieved. Only 2% of storms in the Atlantic reach Category 5 strength, according to NOAA’s hurricane database. Including Lee, only 40 Category 5 hurricanes have roamed the Atlantic since 1924.

....

The Atlantic is not the only ocean to have spawned a monster storm in 2023. All seven ocean basins where tropical cyclones can form have had a storm reach Category 5 strength so far this year, including Hurricane Jova, which reached Category 5 status in the eastern Pacific earlier this week.

 

Poor brent's predictions have aged very, very badly.

 

But I guess to keep lying to himself, he'll probably start his "hurricane season" threads around April or May so he can gloat about there being no hurricanes.

Yeah, he also seems to ignore the very simple fact that "Hurricane Season" usually (like almost always) starts off slow, then picks up in September & October.

So all of his "THERE"S NO HURRICANES!!!!!!" shit early on is far more of a 'Sure, not YET,"

He hasn't been always wrong every day, he's simply able to ignore the dynamic nature of developing weather systems in pursuit of his point.

This just in from outer space: US Senator Ron Johnson (for a bonus guess which party and state) has just announced that windmills are killing whales.

Thank you for allowing me to destroy a portion of your brain. Now, back to regularly scheduled misinformation.

From Rolling Stone:

If the senator is so concerned about wind turbines impacting marine life, wait until he hears about whale deaths caused by oil spills

First they kill all the eagles, then they give you windmill cancer, then they KILL WHALES!

Surely they must make kids trans too.
