This is totally normal guys.

Happens all the time.

Nothing to do with that climate change scam.

Nope.



There are now three hurricanes to worry about in the Atlantic

As Texas deals with the fallout from Harvey and the Caribbean braces for the impact of Hurricane Irma, two more hurricanes continue to grow in the Atlantic. The storms are being fueled by warm waters in the Atlantic, which intensifies the hurricanes by providing more energy.

Hurricane Katia is forming in the Gulf of Mexico with winds of 75 miles per hour, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has put out a hurricane warning for the Mexican state of Veracruz. It’s relatively localized, though, and is moving southeast at only 3 miles per hour.

Meanwhile, tropical storm Jose has just been upgraded to a hurricane, making it the tenth named hurricane in the Atlantic this season. It’s a little faster than Katia and is moving west at about 16 miles per hour with winds of 75 miles per hour, according to updates from NOAA. The good news is that Jose may not make landfall and the National Hurricane Center has not put out any warnings yet.

By far the biggest storm risk remains Irma. Irma, a Category 5 hurricane, is approaching Puerto Rico and the Bahamas after making landfall in the islands of St. Martin and St Barthélemy. It could reach Florida by early next week.

Every year is different. I am sure the almost complete absence of hurricanes of question over the last couple of years was also do to climate change? It's not a rule that there be N hurricanes each year.

But by all means lets tax hurricanes. I am sure that will fix them.

Also, if they didn't expect so many, how come they would have pre-determined names all the way up to the Js and beyond. 2005 Hurricane Katrina was further along in the sequence and earlier. But by all means use weather to further your religion.

Because there isn't anything to debate.

I remember Hurricane Juan from 2003 when it hit Halifax. I remember a hell of a lot of hurricanes over the years. My wife experienced her first hurricane before we moved to Australia.

And guess what? There are usually more than one hurricane a year.... Big surprise there.

And you know what happened after Hurricane Juan?

White Juan smacked the Maritimes.

Guess what's going to happen this winter after all these hurricanes?

I know.... Do you?

Three hurricanes for america to worry about

Nice thing about Houston :
All the people forgot about the globalistcommunazi racism, and the george soros funded color revolution as an investment, and the democratic party of slavery BS, and they all got together and helped each other out as people.

...but lets make this about politics?

Trumptards loathe the truth.


Hurricane Irma and more: Why are there so many hurricanes right now?

Why is Irma so strong?
Hurricanes use warm water as fuel. Irma has been over water that is 1.2 to 1.8 degrees warmer than normal. And that warm water goes deeper than usual. High altitude winds, which can fight or even decapitate storms, are not strong, also helping Irma. While over the open Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday, Irma's 185 mph winds set a record for that region. In the entire Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico, only Hurricane Allen in 1980 was stronger with 190 mph winds. Others with 185 mph winds: a 1935 Florida storm, 1988's Gilbert, and 2005's Wilma.

How unusual is Irma?
This is only the second time since satellite-tracking began about 40 years ago that a storm maintained 185 mph winds for more than 24 hours, said Klotzbach. The other was the massive killer typhoon Haiyan that killed more than 6,000 people in the Philippines in 2013.

Is this climate change?
There's been scientific debate over whether global warming means more storms, but the stronger and wetter is generally accepted by scientists.

"What I think we can say is that the fact that we do have climate change, our atmosphere is warmer, it contains more moisture, it means that when we do have a hurricane, a tropical cyclone like this, then when an event does occur, then you know climate change does very likely increase the associated rainfall." said Clare Nullis Kapp of the World Meteorological Organization.

Yes dipshit. Hurricane Season for the Atlantic.

Northwest Pacific has them year round.

The Atlantic hurricane season is the period in a year when hurricanes usually form in the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic are called hurricanes, tropical storms, or tropical depressions. In addition, there have been several storms over the years that have not been fully tropical and are categorized as subtropical depressions and subtropical storms.

Worldwide, tropical cyclone activity peaks in late summer, when the difference between temperatures aloft and sea surface temperatures is the greatest. However, each particular basin has its own seasonal patterns. On a worldwide scale, May is the least active month, while September is the most active.[1] In the Northern Atlantic Ocean, a distinct hurricane season occurs from June 1 to November 30, sharply peaking from late August through September;[1] the season's climatological peak of activity occurs around September 10 each season.[2]

Tropical disturbances that reach tropical storm intensity are named from a pre-determined list. On average, 10.1 named storms occur each season, with an average of 5.9 becoming hurricanes and 2.5 becoming major hurricanes (Category 3 or greater). The most active season was 2005, during which 28 tropical cyclones formed, of which a record 15 became hurricanes. The least active season was 1914, with only one known tropical cyclone developing during that year.[3] The Atlantic hurricane season is a time when most tropical cyclones are expected to develop across the northern Atlantic Ocean. It is currently defined as the time frame from June 1 through November 30, though in the past the season was defined as a shorter time frame. During the season, regular tropical weather outlooks are issued by the National Hurricane Center, and coordination between the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center and National Hurricane Center occurs for systems which have not formed yet, but could develop during the next three to seven days.

Good thing Harvey wasn't hit with an Arctic outflow or some of the rain would have been in the form of hail, big ass football sized hail a few meters deep. The NE is already getting their first dusting of snow. November is a long way off.

So, you are saying that Irma's winds, while impressive, aren't the new catastrophes, there have been plenty of of otherswith similar strengths. But it is all due to global warming. OK.
Except Irma isn't that special.


How unusual is Irma?
about 40 years ago
:lol::lol:

If the Earth was 6,000 years old, there may be a point. But since it isn't, there isn't.

Is this climate change?
There's been scientific debate over whether global warming means more storms, but the stronger and wetter is generally accepted by scientists.

"What I think we can say is that the fact that we do have climate change, our atmosphere is warmer, it contains more moisture, it means that when we do have a hurricane, a tropical cyclone like this, then when an event does occur, then you know climate change does very likely increase the associated rainfall." said Clare Nullis Kapp of the World Meteorological Organization.
The alt left is so gullible, it's funny. They make anything into global warming.

Best case scenario for IRMA


It will never be according to your own desire. It will come upon your own head.

========================================================

So the plan of the atheist is to ignore the implication of the hurricane by saying: it is the hurricane season and it happened before and so it is only a natural thing ..
The atheist means: God did not send this hurricane .. while believers say it is God's punishment for the atheism, the wrong-doing of people, the enthusiasm and idolatry and the ungodliness.

Similar idea had been in the past of people who denied God and His might until they perished ..

Therefore, in spite of the distress and difficulty and bad circumstances .. the atheist and idolater (especially Wicked Zionists) insist on denying God's role and His punishment for the wrong-doing people.

The Hurricane of the Aad Tribe

When the tribe of Aad (near Yemen) denied their apostle Hood and insisted on their idolatry, God sent on them the hurricane which lasted for seven nights and eight days, and which terminated them totally.

They had some years of drought, before the hurricanes, then when they saw the cloud coming towards their valley, they said: This is the rain and blessing has come to us by the blessings of our idols and in contrary to Hood .. but it was the hurricanes which terminated them

This is mentioned many times in the Quran.

Quran 46: 24, which means:
{24.Then when they saw [the punishment b as] a [cloud] coming from faraway towards their valleys, they said: "This is a cloud coming from faraway and is going to rain upon us."

[The angel, charged with their punishment, said:] "Not so, but it is the [punishment] you were asking to be hastened! –– a wind wherein is a painful chastisement."


25. "Which will destroy everything as commanded by its Lord." c

By morning nothing could be seen except their homes [while the people perished d].

[So as did We destroy the people of the 'Ahqaf'], thus [in the future] will We requite the guilty people."}
........................................................................

24 b With which he threatened you.
25 c So the hurricanes came and destroyed them.
25 d Save only Hood and those who believed together with him: they departed from them before the coming of the chastisement.

<quran-ayat.com/pret/46.htm#a46_24>

Well natural disaster will kill humans and less humans equal less pollution. Its a self solved deal. Who gives a shit mentalflake

There has been much exaggeration of such environment pollution .. etc; it of course has an effect, but it is God That looses such hurricanes or abates them .. so now there is a hurricane and tomorrow or yesterday no hurricane

Example:
If one falls and breaks a bone in his arm or leg .. this man certainly committed some wrong-doing and God let him have his punishment .. so had he not done that sin or disobedience, his bone would not have broken (the man himself knows his fault, but he denies) :D

Moreover, had he given alms to the poor for the sake of God alone, then he would not have fallen nor would his bone have been broken.

Hurricanes are one of gods ways of telling everyone he doesn't need anybody's help to wreck things

...and what religion survives these deals the best eh?
that would be a pretty good test of who god really loves the most

Unless a hurricane is directly threatening one of Trump's real estate holdings, I doubt that he gives a rat's ass.
