That was a super storm. 70 %of my town on the coast of NJ was flooded.No electric for 10 days. My house was on higher ground and no damage. I now live in FL. My home was built in 2007 in Fl. The code requires homes to withstand 130 mile mph winds. I am not close to the water. I bought a house farther from the coast. Yesterday we had some straight line winds and my palms were bending. One Royal palm lost some fronds.
Imagine if the one that hit around there somewhere between 1300AD and 1400AD had happened.
Estimated storm surge was over 20 feet based upon sediment deposits and oral history from Indian tribes.
Also a pair in the 1600's and 2-3 others since then that were all as bad or worse than Sandy.
Sandy was the type of storm that happens about once in a lifetime but sometimes they hit in back to back years and other times go 200 years between. *shrug*
lmao..A tornado warning means someone spotted one, as in a real person, not a radar or a computer model.
Not true.
Warning are issued by local NWS offices based on radar, rotation, hail, etc. They are verified by individuals, but that is not the criteria for calling a warning.
Other than local weather forecasters and insurance salesmen, most of us in hurricane country ignore these doom and gloom predictions. If a storm might be heading our way, we already have our emergency lights, canned or dry food supplies, some bottled water, bathtub full of water for flushing, and friends/family who have homes on higher ground. Most of the people of the Gulf Coast know how to deal with hurricanes. New Orleans was just a special kind of stupid.
An active hurricane season is not based on how many storms make landfall, but about how many are generated in the entire Atlantic basin.
Please don't make things up. Especially when they are so easily disproven.
You're both right and wrong. The previous person you responded to was right in that so few hurricanes hit USA. You were right in the naming of storms even though they didn't hit USA and many just fizzled out. The naming of storms only goes back to the 1950s so to say it's the most active means only in the past 60 years.
The Fundamental characteristic of the Trumpets is they will suppress anything that interferes with FAITH. They believe that all science is fake and that whatever their Savior says is revealed TRUTH.
and the left doesn't do that Greg? seriously?
you mean when the left says that those that don't accept CAGW as "real" should be rejected? Like that?
Did you look at "his" maps? Nearly all of them are NOAA products.
