  1. Are they “normalizing” windspeeds like they do temperature data to support a cause?

    If you want the most ‘accurate’ data, for values of normal, NOAA has a shit load of meteorological buoys in the gulf that give windspeed, direction, wave height, water and air temperature, etc.

    Don’t take much effort to find a map on their site that will allow you access.

  2. Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in August of 2005…
    There was widespread flooding and roof rescues by Helicopter, widespread looting,
    Hurricane Harvey hit Texas in 2017…
    Same widespread flooding, rescues by helicopter and boat, widespread flooding,
    There weather nerds are calling this a 500 year flood.
    Louisiana is on the eastern border of Texas,
    It has not been 500 years since 2005.

  3. had to stop watching coverage of this historically over-predicted weather event, due to the overwhelming number of people claiming they “WERE NOT WARNED” beforehand……for pete’s sake, i live IN WEST BY GOD VIRGINIA, and i knew it was going to rain and rain and rain and rain and rain on coastal texas for days and days and days and days and days……but THEY WERE NOT WARNED????

    give me a break….i myself was not warned about the tornado that hit us last year, and nobody except us and our neighbors were even bothered to care about it…..we are still dealing with the damage, had to pay for the roof repairs ourselves, in spite of being insured by USAA, who didn’t pay for a tenth the repairs necessary……what we are NOT doing is complaining that the government didn’t warn us, and didn’t take care of us…we clean up what we can, when we can, together….and some of us even manage to make some money selling the fallen timber, or using the fallen trees for firewood….we cleared the roads our own selves, because it would have been days or weeks before the government got around to us…..we are a small little community who are always last on the list of priorities, like when the power goes out……

    we are americans here…..we take care of ourselves and our neighbors, and we don’t wait for some politician to come to our rescue – because we know what a politician is, and it is NOT a servant of the people……

    oh, and we went for the Donald 90%………but that’s just one of them coincidences……..
