As predicted, Tropical Storm Erin escalated quickly into a hurricane and then rapidly to a Category 5 hurricane. The Climate Marxists were dancing in their crime-laden, poop stained, needle-littered streets. Look! Cat 5, like so fast, it’s global Warming! YOU DID THIS TO ME!
Be sure you shout it using your best Ren Hoek impersonation.
My response? Shut up. We’re halfway into the season and 1) this is the first hurricane and 2) it isn’t projected to make landfall (or get) anywhere near the eastern seaboard. Not in a meaningful way.
What is the weather in the Carolinas while Erin wanders by in the Atlantic? Low eighties, 20-30% chance of rain (from noon to three), with max winds at 10 mph. Oooh!
The weather in New England when it finally gets up this way? Cloudy, mid-seventies. Winds up to 12 mph (no rain). Oooh!
The track could change, but Wundermaps has a nice habit of being more accurate than the typical freaking out, get the clicks, looks, and plays before the truth happens outlets.
We can’t finish the post, however, without some more truth. We are entering peak storm season, and another “disturbance” in the force appears likely to follow Erin with more behind it.
Odds are good the US will get smacked by something awful in late August or Early September; it just won’t be named Erin. It also won’t be your fault.
Remember, Climate Change is about changing economies so governments can control people. Just like everything else they claim to advocate for, it’s a lie. They don’t care about anything but political power. Just ask anyone they’ve advocated for: Blacks, children (education), women. The record is worse than lousy.
[UPDATE] Erin has lost some umph, dropping to CAT 2 as it nears the Carolinas, but has grown in diameter, pushing the outer bands and storm surge toward the Eastern seaboard. Most of the weather advisories say, stay out of the ocean and watch for rising seas as Erin continues to track off the coast. The primary factor in the forecast change is the width of this beast. 535 miles wide, most of it tropical storm force at this point, but that’s still something to pay attention to.
Be thankful no landfall is predicted, and be careful out there.
