There has only ever been one common factor when it comes to these storms,.
As soon as they hit land they start to fall apart, and lose power.
Not once. Not ever, have I witnessed a hurricane that has intensified after reaching, and especially after being completely over land.
It's unnatural. Defying both the laws of physics and nature.
Yet, somehow I bet this will be a growing trend with these storms.
Global warming is not the issue, but will be used as an excuse.
As someone who believes what the Bible says, I see this as prophecy coming to fruition.
On a personal note, I'm not looking forward to this new storm headed right at us. Let's see how quickly this one intensifies. If this new storm intensifies as quickly as that last one, and jumps to a Cat 4 or above, I will seriously question if weather has been politically weaponized; and being used on its own citizens in the US.
We're making an evacuation plan for this one.
Funny you said that. I had just told my cousin's husband just a few hours ago, that though I had ridden out every hurricane since Andrew, that I didn't think this was one that I wanted to ride out. I am also planning to evacuate for this one for the same reason.
The weather has just been behaving supernaturally. Something just does not feel right about it.
