President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

That's another good point. Hurricanes are more destructive now partially because there's a lot more to destroy. A storm that would've hit a sparsely populated section of coastline in 1850 is now damaging multi-million dollar beachfront homes and forcing the evacuation of millions instead of a few thousand.

On the second point, October is still hurricane season. So is November. Ocean water takes a while to heat up and cool down, which is why August and September is the peak instead of the hotter air temperature months of July and August.
Hurricanes in October and November aren't rare, and Nor'easters (which are almost the same as hurricanes in terms of effects and damage) aren't either. The 1991 Halloween Storm (better known as The Perfect Storm) was a hurricane that never received a name mostly for record keeping purposes.

Meanwhile, in California, a Republican Congressional candidate is attacked at his booth at a local fair.

Abe Fromanov?

 

Here in Massachusetts, we know from nor'easters. And on Cape Cod, where I am now and hope to live year round if my good wife will let go of our suburban Boston home, last winter was a motherfucker. Barrier islands (sandbars, really) washed away. A whole development of almost million dollar condos how worth nothing because they were flooded out big time. An island connected by a causeway that's full of 2 million-plus homes now looking at how this winter's storms (there will be some) will cut the causeway because the sandbar is breached. Winter kills New England's shores, not hurricane season.

 

At least Yglesias acknowledged that Obama was the worst.

 

I'm guessing noted meteorologist Rush Limbaugh and neurologist Larry Fedora are pretty close ideologically and intellectually.

 

Outing alert: Mayor of San Juan is one of us.
