2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Running Thread

Hurricane Beryl Caused ‘Unimaginable’ Damage in Grenada, Leader Says

 

I saw Katrina and Matthew first-hand. I’d bet unimaginable is hyperbole.

 

I guess the 'unimaginable' part stems from Grenada not really having the recovery mechanisms that we do.
You must have been at Bragg for Matthew. That's the one I spent the night sleeping in my truck in Pembroke.

 

Took one spin around the ol' Twitterverse to find that the right-wing nuts are now saying that Beryl was a manufactured hurricane seeded by the government* and that climate change is not real.

That's enough for me today, thanks.

*-which government? fuck if I know.

 

It’s part of the UN Agenda (which whatever that is).

 

I was in Honduras. We followed the storm across the Caribbean to Haiti.

 

Must of been a different Matthew. One I was in was 2016 and hit North Carolina.

 

Same one. It hit Hispaniola, turned north and raked the east coast

 

George Soros is behind it.

Somehow.

 

Must *have

 

The only Monroe Doctrine country that matters is Cuba and that was only to use as a missile base

 

The Monroe Doctrine is bunk. It originated in 1823 during colonial times, and the British Navy actually helped enforce it at a time when the two countries were still at odds (because of common interests).

Since then just about every spot of land in the Americas has become freely independent, save a few territories ringing the Caribbean. It didn't make a ripple when the British won back the Falklands.
