Not understanding how a hurricane traverses over 500 miles across land, without breaking up. Watch the radar. Storms are fed by the vortex pulling surface water from the ocean surface. Native Floridian - seen probably over 100 storms - never seen that before. Admittedly though, I'm not up on the latest HAARP updates.
On the non-response to Hurricane Helene in WNC - going as far as forbidding private search and rescue and private delivery of relief supplies - the larger message is clear and intentional. The lack of response is to keep the people discouraged and demoralized. It casts a pall of negative energy over the people, making them dependents of the state.
People helping each other, becoming independent and self-sustaining, is empowering and creates positive energy. Thus, they become enemies of the state. Fuck the state. We don't need them. The sooner we realize that the better off we'll be.
Time to put the blinders on, put our heads down and get to work. God bless the folks in Appalachia.
FEMA = Funnelling Emergency Money to Aliens. Let them have $750, when seconds count (FEMA is weeks away), FEMA won't rescue you (and will make sure nobody else does either) and more FEMA memes!
I'm so glad to see these kinds of posts which indicate to me that the truth about geoengineering is finally almost (not quite), but almost going mainstream. It's progress. Yeah a lot of folks forget the fire...just focus on the water. So what other Trump stronghold is next? Texas?
What does 🤔 mean?? 20 guys with box cutters on a suicide mission killed 3000 Americans and destroyed billions in property…and then Bush sacrificed 7000 troops to slaughter hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims while destroying hundreds of billions of dollars in property and costing us trillions.
Oh it's the same old story. The PTB's explanations are so full of holes they become ridiculous, and yet...those explanations are still the "official" line.
Also don't be confused by the fake news about increased number of hurricanes, the trend for the last 100 years is still flat. However they have changed the ways that they measure wind speed and also the use of untested models which overall make things seem worse than they are. This was a rare event, but it's not going to turn into a regular event.
And then there was Milton. The Gulf is definitely warmer and staying warmer deeper into the autumn. Heck, Phoenix is too, it will STILL be 100+ this week. More heat, more energy. More uplift, more rain, more wind, more storm surge and slower abatement over land. It is not rocket science. The retention of more heat energy later in the season is the key, whether it is on sea or land. Storms are on the boundary between cold and warm air. As the north cools down in fall, if the south retains heat, which it is, the gradient between the two increases, intensifying the storms following the jet stream. BTW, look at the backwards moving Milton. Following the jet stream boundary between the Gulf air and an arctic front, it looks like another ball buster. Watch out, Tampa and watch out Charleston if it makes a left turn like Helene. TWC is calling Milton a 100 year storm.
Milton won't even go in as a CAT 4. The worship of weather gods was supposed to have gone out with the Age of Enlightenment but 24x7 hype has brought it back full force. Sad.
The temperature of the earth has been decreasing for thousands of years. Good, God, read a book.
Milton will not go in a a category five? Are you disappointed? It was just announced it is now a cat 5. The storm surge will destroy downtown Tampa if it hits right. It will clobber mid-Florida, and that includes Disney World. It is all being evacuated as we speak today. Good God, get your head out of the book and just look around, long term may be cooling but it is getting hotter now. Science does not have a clue why, neither do you. In the meantime, we are breaking hundred + records here. And the storms are getting more intense.
It is a 5 now but will go in as a weak 4 or strong 3 according to forecasts. You hyper-ventilators and storm masturbators are the ones that get so disappointed when someone disputes the holy word of climate priests who've brainwashed you into believing the hoax. "Just look around." Yeah, that's how science works. You ever think that maybe "it's getting hotter now" comes from the same people, NASA, who were caught manipulating climate data? And, no, we are not breaking 100 year records at any faster clip that they've been broken in the past.
You know, funny thing about a lot of those old records. They indicate it got pretty damn hot here and there a long time ago, huh? And where are all of these thermometers that show "how much hotter it is now"? Maybe a bit too close to cities? Yep. That's been show to be major factor in the overly high readings. Funny how just forty years ago scientists who are still alive today forecasted gloom and doom over the next impending ice age. The covers of Time magazine are littered with them. I guess that didn't sell enough electric cars, though. Time to change course.
People like you will see what they are influenced to see both by their own ego, bias, belief system and people pushing propaganda for their own purposes. I'm looking at things logically, not emotionally.
Rapid warming in the last few years is likely caused by the Hunga Tonga eruption, which put billions of tons of water vapor into the atmosphere AND warmed the oceans. What goes up, must come down. In the meantime it manifests as additional heat and humidity. We will likely get pronounced cooling in a few years - don't throw away your skis!
One more fact. Hurricanes that follow other hurricanes path weaken as they follow or cross the previous storm’s path. Why, because the previous storm has sucked a bunch of heat out of the oceans making less available for number 2.
We know the reason why, but it's being suppressed. A couple years ago, an underwater volcano erupted in the South Pacific, instantly vaporizing an incredible amount of seawater and launching it into the atmosphere. This water will remain in the atmosphere for years, helping to increase both temperatures and precipitation. I posted this several months ago on CFN, and I believe you thanked me for sharing the information.
The earth along with all other planets in this solar system has been heating and cooling for hundreds of thousands of years. Science has plenty of clues why, but what passes for science today has been taken over by corporate interests who have already come up with their solution which is usually some version of "cap and trade", which doesn't prevent global warming in the slightest, but makes some people quite wealthy while the rest of the zombie class pays to sequester CO2.
I heard that it will begin to fall off quickly, unless that has changed. I haven't looked at the weathermen today, like Ryan Hall Y'all on YT. Now I will. OK Ryan is still prognosticating Cat 3 for Milton at Tampa. That's bad but not as bad as it is now just passing the Yucatan at Cat 4.
Just so you know, Centcom isn’t “Central Command” it’s Middle East Command “cent” just refers to Asia. South America Com is in Miami and Europe Com is in Germany.
Friends in Marshall & Swannanoa say different. Watch the radar. The storm formation - with an eye and counterclockwise rotation - stays intact - 500 miles over land. Never seen that before.
I was only talking about the wind speed. Radar does not equal wind speed. Wind speed is what makes the difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane. However 50 miles west of Ashville, the wind was over 60 mph, which was to be expected on that side of the storm.
Yirgach - the friends I mention above are still encamped up in the mountains, self-sufficient - they'll be fine. They know their terrain and wind speeds. I'll take their word over any hearsay - anything I hear or read.
Ron - Your friends were very fortunate to be camping in high terrain as they missed the major brunt of the storm, like the extreme rain which caused havoc in the valley rivers and towns.
The Ventusky.com weather page has the ability to go back in time for any statistic, like wind, rain, satellite, etc. Very useful for looking at what happened.
Yirgach - not camping, encamped. They're tucked away, off-grid, 60KW solar capacity topped off batteries, with generator backup if needed. Plenty of other necessities. Talked with them the morning after the storm.
They may have been the only ones in Buncombe County, with power and Sat Phones. You see, they've done what most talk about doing. Again, they'll be fine.
Thanks for the site reference, I'll check it out. You know the site data can be manipulated, right? On-the-ground, word of mouth, not so much.
And it was flooding that was the problem. Two things contributed, one the uplift of the mountains causing upslope conditions which wrings out storms and second, the soil in mountains is shallow and only absorbs a small amount of rain before running off. Now multiply that by a jillion streams and rivers. Was there a guy named Noah building a ship around Asheville?
Uh, going by the last 4 years of unprecedented weather events I’m going to get the stronger roof and generator and have a rain barrel…you can pretend everything is normal. 😘
Check out Dane Wigington and GeoengineeringWatch.org. Explanation for management of a hurricane using electrically charged nanoparticles and radio waves. Like, this was a manmade storm, government as the killer.
Hurricane Helene last week, now this week comes Hurricane Milton, which jumped from the Pacific Ocean, over Mexico and headed in the wrong direction into the Gulf of Mexico. This can't possibly happen! (At least not as a natural storm.) However, the boys at HAARP with the DEW Weapons have been busy destroying Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee.
Can't possibly? The weather generally moves from West to East in the Northern Hemisphere. But yeah, generally any that tried that would dry up over Mexico.
Hurricanes seem to have a mind of their own, often traveling in a Northeasterly direction in the Caribbean, sometimes crossing Florida and strengthening again in the Gulf.
No doubt they are juicing this storm, now up to 185 mph and headed over most populated part of Florida. Destroy the polling places? No place to vote means no election on Nov 5. Mail-in ballots are water-logged piles of mush sitting in destroyed post office buildings.
There’s a lot going on, cosmically and globally speaking: first off the Tonga eruption in 2020 put unprecedented moisture into the upper atmosphere- guaranteed global warming for 5 years. Then the sun is at maximum- and it’s xray craziness isn’t calculated but solars storms, a weaker magnetosphere, heating crust AND a little bit of anthropogenic warming added together is weather beyond human control. In fact this hubristic idea that man can STOP climate change might be the silliest and most problematic stance in the history of human governance.
Where's the "cosmic" in your remark? I guess you mean the Sun? I thought for a second there would be something really cosmic. Like the Solar System. Most folks think that those planets out there past Mars are just "big gas bags". LOL. They have tremendous energy which affects Earth. That's just common sense. And the Ancients, who could see thru a brick wall as well as us, studied the heavens and the "stars". Remember the Magi? Well, guess what, since December 2008 Pluto, the bad boy of the planets, has been in Capricorn, negatively the sign of collectivism and the State. When I saw that coming I was really and truly concerned for the state of the World. And sure enough! Look what happened. But, good news friends! Pluto is leaving Capricorn for good and all right after Election Day. It's entering Aquarius. The Great Storm is coming but the Tide has changed. I'm optimistic now after 16 horrendous, hellish years. Aquarius is the sign of revolution, and a renewal of reason.
Something that amazes me is gravity and how powerful it is. Think of a softball on one goal line of a football field and a grain of sand on the opposite goal line. That is Jupiter and Earth. The gravity fields of both affect each other. Jupiter and Saturn affect each other and orbit in harmonic fashion. Their combined gravity influences protect the inner solar system from in-flying bodies. The sun’s gravity influences space time out trillions of miles. We still do not know what causes gravity.
Look at the track of Hurricane Agnes in 1972. It did tremendous damage to central, northcentral, and southwestern New York State and Pennsylvania. It came ashore in Florida at the same spot as Helene. 52 years ago. Most of the area never recovered, including Wilkes-Barre PA. If you don't understand how it traverses 500 miles, look at the historical record and learn.
You began with an insult. As a narcissist, you naturally turn this observation into an attack upon *you*, rather than a opportunity to reflect upon your boorishness. What a time to be alive, surrounded by man-children with the emotional maturity of children.
Weather Geo engineering has been around since the 60s… And come on man, that was 60 years ago. Oh the malfeasance and malevolence they have been doing in Alaska at HAARP.
One of their own scientist interviewed said they are working on making storms more potent as possible weapons against enemies… I think they meant domestic ones. The American people who won't comply.
Absolutely agree Ron! <3 Something is definitely up with these storms. Are they taking energy from systems that are in the East Pacific and transferring into the Gulf? I theorized that is what happened with Helene, and supposedly the energy that started Milton came from the East Pacific side. And then maybe they are using these fronts to direct the path? Praying for y'all and hoping y'all are safe and sound and far enough away from the storm!!
Thank you, Dreamy. You're precious and I appreciate you and your kind words. <3
We'll be fine, but I suspect many here on our barrier island will have a few feet of water in their homes. The storm passing below us, with it's counterclockwise rotation, throws winds onshore, causing storm surge on the ocean side of the island. Large dunes and a high ridge, make that surge a non-issue.
However, that surge at the STA Inlet at the north end of the island, and at the Matanzas Inlet at the south end of the island, prevents the Matanzas River from outflowing to the ocean. So, as the storm crosses the state, six to ten hours of rain sheds to the river but can't outflow. The river has nowhere to go but up - like filling a bathtub.
It's tidal, but you can't stop it. Only when the storm passes and the river can outflow to the ocean, does the water go down. Not usually life-threatening, but major destruction. The wind effects are a roll of the dice - I say 50/50 - either we get hit or we don't. :-)
For heaven's sake, so much psychic trauma up in NC, you may have to round up some Cherokee friends, and smudge the hills and hollows with sage - clear out the trauma. Nice to see the Cajun Navy coming to help as always - you all are such good people. Thanks again for your concern, you're so sweet, you give me cavities.<3
Lol, well I certainly don't want to give you any cavities!! I hate to think I have to reduce my portions so as not to overwhelm you but lol. Who needs teeth anyways 😝.
A lot of people have left here to help in the Carolinas and Tennessee and now people are preparing to go to Florida too. Thankfully right now we have sunny dry weather over here so fingers crossed. I am hoping that the storm weakens a good deal and stays far enough south of you that the impacts are as minimal as possible!! I am trying to focus a lot of my psychic energy on destroying the storm internally. I know that probably sounds crazy but I am. I don't think its completely natural so fighting against a literal weapon but yes we need to fight this with all aspects. And we have to help one another because the regime obviously won't.
I suspect they actually deliberately opened the dams in the area and that that is what caused the MASSIVE amount of water that took out homes, trees, thousands of people, pets, animals, property, etc.
The federal government and the globalist psychopaths behind it are actually AT WAR against us. They consider us vermin and they mean to exterminate us. That's all you need to know.
Some of us have known that since the pandemic and the vaxx mandates.
But if the response to Helene doesn't make it abundantly clear to a person, that person may be beyond reaching at this point.
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater." ~Frank Zappa

Everything you know is wrong.
The Firesign Theatre
Last week my dear friend John and I had what may have been the last of many years of weekly lunches together. Not for the first time, we had failed to keep every trace of political reference out of our reliably-avid conversation, and John can’t take it any more.
To be clear: I have no problem with vigorous, even strenuous debate, whether with friends or strangers. Having long ago rejected the Official Narrative about our country, I have had no choice but to either call bullshit or have to listen to it. But John, like so many liberals in these times, is a political snowflake – fragile, unique (or so he thinks) and easily threatened with melting.
This time I screwed up by mentioning that the evening before I had seen a clip of the first cabinet meeting held by Joe Biden in the year 2024. Seated at the side of a long table among the cabinet secretaries, he slurred the meeting to order, and immediately turned its management over (illegitimately) to Jill, at the table’s head.
John’s reaction was revealingly twofold: he doubted that what I reported had taken place (as if he couldn’t possibly fact-check it, himself) and interpreted my anecdote as a criticism of the Biden-Harris administration, which is to say an expression of opposition to having Kamala as President.
For those of us who have gradually learned over the course of years or decades that everything we are told is a lie, that the United States is not a Democracy, that those who rule us are unelected and can’t be deposed, these givens are a dismal fact of life, but not a revelation. For people like John, they are an appalling shock that can’t be reconciled with what they think they know about the world. For many, even parting company with old friends is preferable to having their comfortable, if illusory, world shattered.
Before reaching the sad conclusion that we can’t meet for lunch any more, John and I had several exchanges which were revealing. He said that he “can’t figure out what I believe” - which is silly, because every time I have ever tried to tell him what I believe he panics, and doesn’t want to hear it, because it is too threatening. He also insisted that he “is not a Democrat, but an Independent.”
This took me a bit longer to parse, because I already regarded both political parties as poison when I first became eligible to vote, and have been registered as an Independent for over a half century. For much of that time “Independent” was a fair description of my opposition to a succession of rotten presidents, from Nixon and W, to Clinton and Obama.
But the Reds and Blues have gradually coalesced into the Uniparty, necessarily distinguished by embracing different tenets of divisive identity politics, but in comfortable agreement over deficit spending, endless wars, and ever-increasing control of our lives as citizens.
John assiduously studies the mainstream media, believing that he has become “informed” by the likes of the NYT, WaPo, NPR, BBC, MSNBC, etc. As the computer geeks say, “Garbage In/Garbage Out.” If all you know is the narrative parroted in obedient unison by those tools of the Uniparty, you are independent of nothing.
If you had awakened yesterday after a century in suspended animation, and knew nothing of contemporary politics, it would be possible to construct a reasonably accurate worldview from harder-to-find independent media including, of course, James Kunstler’s invaluable blog. But how can an old man hope to have any clue about what the hell is going on, if his mind is already filled with a meticulously crafted false narrative, leaving no room for Truth?
It saddens me that I won’t get to visit with my friend over lunch this week, but our present rift has probably only hastened the inevitable by a month or so. Because if Mr. Trump prevails in next month’s election John won’t want to face reality; and, if we wake up to find that Kamala has been declared President, he damned sure will not want to hear what I have to say.
Thanks for your comment as I am in the exact same situation with some friends and even my adult children.
The saddest thing is that there is no way we an ever win the argument with these deluded fools simply because there is no objective basis, no facts that both sides can rely on to make our points.
If I tell my sister that there are probably 20 million illegals that have been brought in, she simply says that BS, not true. I can cite any number of articles, videos, etc. and she says, nope, all lies.
Same thing with the adult children, now in their 50s when I argue with them about phony man made "climate change." I can provide them with articles from some of the top physicists, engineers, scientists in the world that prove "climate change" is a hoax and CO2 is actually necessary for life on earth, but they say, not that's all bogus, those are not "real" scientists.
And the beat goes on.....
I think it was also Mark Twain who said that it's hard to win an argument with a smart person, impossible to do so with a stupid on.
Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector in the 80's, said that such people were inured to facts, and that no amount of facts would break through the indoctrination, and that they would only see the truth when the boot was to the balls or they were lined up against the wall to be shot.
Yup 100% correct. Read The Indoctrinated Brain by Dr Michael Nehls. He explains how the covid fear campaign and accompanying forced injections literally rewired many people's brains.
That is the very definition of a demoralized person: they will never change their position based on new information, but will change it immediately on the mere say-so of their “experts,” entirely without critique and often without even realizing their position has changed.
Those work well enough as synonyms, except for ignorance which is a different condition and more easily cured. There is hope for the ignorant that doesn’t exist for the demoralized.
Perfect description of our college campuses today. Those that run them believe themselves to be safe from the coming massacre because they fancy themselves elitists.
I refuse to discuss anything with them. There isn’t a point to it any longer. Everyone’s minds are made up. I doubt there are many undecided any more. There will be no coming together. Especially now that conservatives are done with giving an inch and liberals taking miles.
I have a friend who has a friend like that. No amount of facts can get through the indoctrination. At some point, you just have to cut bait and let them wallow in their delusion.
I lost my two "best mates", had 'em for 40 years but the glare from my tinfoil hat drove them crazy 🤷 one is now dead, 2 months after the 1st booster, his son, 17, survived the 2nd jab, in ICU, but no longer can play sport. Heart. My Dad wouldn't hear me, 3 jabs, then he got Convid, sent home from hospital coz "he's old". He lived... 7 more weeks until the turbo cancer got him.
The "legacy media" is extraordinarily powerful. Look at the mainstream media of 1930s Germany. They had very, very many Germans enthralled with Nazism. Today we look at those old newsreels and shake our heads.
I'm in the same boat as you. My son is reasonably intelligent except about politics and things that will affect his children, my grandchildren. On almost all issues he's bought into the Leftist pap. There is no reasonable discussion about anything. We practically came to blows last Thanksgiving. Since then, I don't discuss any politics or world view with him. Last I heard, his wife is supporting Kamala because " she's a woman." That moronic shit petrifies me. I'll be dead, as that's where us old dinosaurs are heading. But I worry about the world that my grandchildren will have to navigate after I'm gone. What weird guidance will their parents give them? Will they "wise up" after I'm dead? Here's to wishful thinking....
Dennis- Sad to say, I think it's this way for many of us "old timers" who are conservatives whose adult children have gone to the dark side, aka the DemonRats.
In my case, it is really incomprehensible how my kids (in their 50s) can be the most wonderful parents, citizens, neighbors, sons and daughters, yet be so f***** up when it comes to their political beliefs!
My grandchildren are growing up with way more than their parents had, including a stable family life which ours wasn't due to alcoholism and substance abuse issues.
I am very proud that their parents/ my children grew up to be so stable and productive in spite of everything. So I rack my brain wondering what the hell happened that causes these otherwise smart people to have "Harris/Walz" signs on their lawns??
Signs that I feel like tearing down and stomping on every time I stop by their homes!
By the way, there is one other thing that bothers me even MORE than the political stuff, something that is absolutely tragic, and that is the lack of religion and spirituality in their lives. This is one of my great heartbreaks- that my grandchildren have no idea about God, a Higher Power, a Creator, something greater than we are.
Religion is even more of a forbidden topic than politics and I am reduced to speaking with the grands when we are by ourselves, trying to instill in them the idea that the beauty we see all around us is not an accident, that there is a Creator who presides over all.
At this point I am feeling pretty hopeless because my influence is so insignificant as to be non-existent.
So my best solution has been over the years, to pray for them and ask the Good Lord to watch out for them, take care of them and maybe grant them the wisdom to see the error of their ways.
Morning Jim, thanks as always.

I'm so glad to see these kinds of posts which indicate to me that the truth about geoengineering is finally almost (not quite), but almost going mainstream. It's progress. Yeah a lot of folks forget the fire...just focus on the water. So what other Trump stronghold is next? Texas?
I read that two dams failed…echos of tall buildings that pancaked on themselves 23 years ago 🤔
So Bush took down WTC but he couldn’t defeat the Taliban?? 👌
Who said anything about Bush taking down the WTC…or the Taliban. I’m not saying that.
What does 🤔 mean?? 20 guys with box cutters on a suicide mission killed 3000 Americans and destroyed billions in property…and then Bush sacrificed 7000 troops to slaughter hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims while destroying hundreds of billions of dollars in property and costing us trillions.
Oh it's the same old story. The PTB's explanations are so full of holes they become ridiculous, and yet...those explanations are still the "official" line.
Yeah.
Helene was a tropical storm when it reached Ashville, the recorded wind speed was 45 mph.
But there was a LOT of rain in a very short period of time over mountainous terrain.
Also don't be confused by the fake news about increased number of hurricanes, the trend for the last 100 years is still flat. However they have changed the ways that they measure wind speed and also the use of untested models which overall make things seem worse than they are. This was a rare event, but it's not going to turn into a regular event.
And then there was Milton. The Gulf is definitely warmer and staying warmer deeper into the autumn. Heck, Phoenix is too, it will STILL be 100+ this week. More heat, more energy. More uplift, more rain, more wind, more storm surge and slower abatement over land. It is not rocket science. The retention of more heat energy later in the season is the key, whether it is on sea or land. Storms are on the boundary between cold and warm air. As the north cools down in fall, if the south retains heat, which it is, the gradient between the two increases, intensifying the storms following the jet stream. BTW, look at the backwards moving Milton. Following the jet stream boundary between the Gulf air and an arctic front, it looks like another ball buster.

It will clobber mid-Florida, and that includes Disney World. It is all being evacuated as we speak today. Good God, get your head out of the book and just look around, long term may be cooling but it is getting hotter now. Science does not have a clue why, neither do you. In the meantime, we are breaking hundred + records here. And the storms are getting more intense.
It is a 5 now but will go in as a weak 4 or strong 3 according to forecasts. You hyper-ventilators and storm masturbators are the ones that get so disappointed when someone disputes the holy word of climate priests who've brainwashed you into believing the hoax. "Just look around." Yeah, that's how science works. You ever think that maybe "it's getting hotter now" comes from the same people, NASA, who were caught manipulating climate data?

I heard that it will begin to fall off quickly, unless that has changed. I haven't looked at the weathermen today, like Ryan Hall Y'all on YT. Now I will. OK Ryan is still prognosticating Cat 3 for Milton at Tampa. That's bad but not as bad as it is now just passing the Yucatan at Cat 4.
CentCom is in Tampa. Just sayin'...
Whoever is on the HAARP joystick may want to toggle left or right...
Or maybe not, depends on intent I suppose...
the HAARP joystick? I wanna ride that one.
Just so you know, Centcom isn’t “Central Command” it’s Middle East Command “cent” just refers to Asia. South America Com is in Miami and Europe Com is in Germany.
Yes, CentCom is in Tampa, what's your point, dumbass?
Friends in Marshall & Swannanoa say different. Watch the radar. The storm formation - with an eye and counterclockwise rotation - stays intact - 500 miles over land. Never seen that before.
Hint: Manmade........
Hint: Juiced up to make more rain and with some Microwave energy burst that's exactly what happens... more energy, longer storm...
NEXRAD
Never seen before, at least in the past 200 years or so.
Exactly.
Counterclockwise? Really?
Think of the uplift from the Appalachians wringing out the declining storm. Asheville was clobbered by rain.
I was only talking about the wind speed. Radar does not equal wind speed. Wind speed is what makes the difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane. However 50 miles west of Ashville, the wind was over 60 mph, which was to be expected on that side of the storm.
Yirgach - the friends I mention above are still encamped up in the mountains, self-sufficient - they'll be fine. They know their terrain and wind speeds. I'll take their word over any hearsay - anything I hear or read.
Ron - Your friends were very fortunate to be camping in high terrain as they missed the major brunt of the storm, like the extreme rain which caused havoc in the valley rivers and towns.
The Ventusky.com weather page has the ability to go back in time for any statistic, like wind, rain, satellite, etc. Very useful for looking at what happened.
Yirgach - not camping, encamped. They're tucked away, off-grid, 60KW solar capacity topped off batteries, with generator backup if needed. Plenty of other necessities. Talked with them the morning after the storm.
They may have been the only ones in Buncombe County, with power and Sat Phones. You see, they've done what most talk about doing. Again, they'll be fine.
Thanks for the site reference, I'll check it out. You know the site data can be manipulated, right? On-the-ground, word of mouth, not so much.
And it was flooding that was the problem. Two things contributed, one the uplift of the mountains causing upslope conditions which wrings out storms and second, the soil in mountains is shallow and only absorbs a small amount of rain before running off. Now multiply that by a jillion streams and rivers. Was there a guy named Noah building a ship around Asheville?
And there had been some serious rain in the days previous.
Uh, going by the last 4 years of unprecedented weather events I’m going to get the stronger roof and generator and have a rain barrel…you can pretend everything is normal. 😘
Category is set by the wind speed. The problem with Helene was water content, not measured. It looks like Milton is a wind speed surge storm.

Dane Wigington, on Greg Hunter Rumble channel, said the rain was DRIVEN to them thar hills.
Hurricane Helene last week, now this week comes Hurricane Milton, which jumped from the Pacific Ocean, over Mexico and headed in the wrong direction into the Gulf of Mexico. This can't possibly happen! (At least not as a natural storm.) However, the boys at HAARP with the DEW Weapons have been busy destroying Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee.
You think? Talk about "pulling out all the stops"! We will leave no stone unturned in our drive to install totalitarianism.
FGB3 that's the obvious reality. At least to me.
Can't possibly? The weather generally moves from West to East in the Northern Hemisphere. But yeah, generally any that tried that would dry up over Mexico.
Hurricanes seem to have a mind of their own, often traveling in a Northeasterly direction in the Caribbean, sometimes crossing Florida and strengthening again in the Gulf.
No doubt they are juicing this storm, now up to 185 mph and headed over most populated part of Florida. Destroy the polling places? No place to vote means no election on Nov 5. Mail-in ballots are water-logged piles of mush sitting in destroyed post office buildings.
There’s a lot going on, cosmically and globally speaking: first off the Tonga eruption in 2020 put unprecedented moisture into the upper atmosphere- guaranteed global warming for 5 years. Then the sun is at maximum- and it’s xray craziness isn’t calculated but solars storms, a weaker magnetosphere, heating crust AND a little bit of anthropogenic warming added together is weather beyond human control. In fact this hubristic idea that man can STOP climate change might be the silliest and most problematic stance in the history of human governance.
Where's the "cosmic" in your remark? I guess you mean the Sun? I thought for a second there would be something really cosmic. Like the Solar System. Most folks think that those planets out there past Mars are just "big gas bags". LOL. They have tremendous energy which affects Earth. That's just common sense. And the Ancients, who could see thru a brick wall as well as us, studied the heavens and the "stars". Remember the Magi? Well, guess what, since December 2008 Pluto, the bad boy of the planets, has been in Capricorn, negatively the sign of collectivism and the State. When I saw that coming I was really and truly concerned for the state of the World. And sure enough! Look what happened. But, good news friends! Pluto is leaving Capricorn for good and all right after Election Day. It's entering Aquarius. The Great Storm is coming but the Tide has changed. I'm optimistic now after 16 horrendous, hellish years. Aquarius is the sign of revolution, and a renewal of reason.
Something that amazes me is gravity and how powerful it is. Think of a softball on one goal line of a football field and a grain of sand on the opposite goal line. That is Jupiter and Earth. The gravity fields of both affect each other. Jupiter and Saturn affect each other and orbit in harmonic fashion. Their combined gravity influences protect the inner solar system from in-flying bodies. The sun’s gravity influences space time out trillions of miles. We still do not know what causes gravity.

Fortunately Peter is in a NJ Nursing Home. By mid-day Wednesday his old apt in Estero, FL might be under a few feet of water.
Hurricane Milton is a Cat 5. Why are hurricanes always said to "pack" winds. Why not "have" winds or "possess" winds?
Why is "the red zone" called "the red zone"? Why not orange, yellow or purple?
Red is the color of violence and blood. Danger!
Or, "throw" winds?
Look at the track of Hurricane Agnes in 1972. It did tremendous damage to central, northcentral, and southwestern New York State and Pennsylvania. It came ashore in Florida at the same spot as Helene. 52 years ago. Most of the area never recovered, including Wilkes-Barre PA. If you don't understand how it traverses 500 miles, look at the historical record and learn.
Have another drink. Agnes looped east out over the Atlantic Ocean - restrengthened over water before driving back north and west into NY & PA.
Hey, remember Sandy. Both of them had uplift from the mountains behind the Fall line on the coast and were flooding events.
What soul rot possesses you to start out a reply to a factual comment with an insult. Can you be civil and polite? Not possible, with cretins.

Word up. Everybody likes a little ass, but nobody likes a smart ass.
Try to be nice. We can’t be quarreling over this, we have a national to save.
Send that sentiment to Wash, DC who does not give one damn about the victims, just immigrants.
You began with an insult. As a narcissist, you naturally turn this observation into an attack upon *you*, rather than a opportunity to reflect upon your boorishness. What a time to be alive, surrounded by man-children with the emotional maturity of children.
Grow up Martini, reflect on this:
You started with a condescending tone, and then got your feelz hurt when I called you on it. Keep backpedaling.

Yup!
Weather Geo engineering has been around since the 60s… And come on man, that was 60 years ago. Oh the malfeasance and malevolence they have been doing in Alaska at HAARP.
One of their own scientist interviewed said they are working on making storms more potent as possible weapons against enemies… I think they meant domestic ones. The American people who won't comply.
Absolutely agree Ron! <3 Something is definitely up with these storms. Are they taking energy from systems that are in the East Pacific and transferring into the Gulf? I theorized that is what happened with Helene, and supposedly the energy that started Milton came from the East Pacific side. And then maybe they are using these fronts to direct the path? Praying for y'all and hoping y'all are safe and sound and far enough away from the storm!!
Thank you, Dreamy. You're precious and I appreciate you and your kind words. <3
We'll be fine, but I suspect many here on our barrier island will have a few feet of water in their homes. The storm passing below us, with it's counterclockwise rotation, throws winds onshore, causing storm surge on the ocean side of the island. Large dunes and a high ridge, make that surge a non-issue.
However, that surge at the STA Inlet at the north end of the island, and at the Matanzas Inlet at the south end of the island, prevents the Matanzas River from outflowing to the ocean. So, as the storm crosses the state, six to ten hours of rain sheds to the river but can't outflow. The river has nowhere to go but up - like filling a bathtub.
It's tidal, but you can't stop it. Only when the storm passes and the river can outflow to the ocean, does the water go down. Not usually life-threatening, but major destruction. The wind effects are a roll of the dice - I say 50/50 - either we get hit or we don't. :-)
For heaven's sake, so much psychic trauma up in NC, you may have to round up some Cherokee friends, and smudge the hills and hollows with sage - clear out the trauma. Nice to see the Cajun Navy coming to help as always - you all are such good people. Thanks again for your concern, you're so sweet, you give me cavities.<3
Lol, well I certainly don't want to give you any cavities!! I hate to think I have to reduce my portions so as not to overwhelm you but lol. Who needs teeth anyways 😝.
A lot of people have left here to help in the Carolinas and Tennessee and now people are preparing to go to Florida too. Thankfully right now we have sunny dry weather over here so fingers crossed. I am hoping that the storm weakens a good deal and stays far enough south of you that the impacts are as minimal as possible!! I am trying to focus a lot of my psychic energy on destroying the storm internally. I know that probably sounds crazy but I am. I don't think its completely natural so fighting against a literal weapon but yes we need to fight this with all aspects. And we have to help one another because the regime obviously won't.
You are an agent of Satan…fuck you and your horned master!
wow. I thought about commenting on your inanity earlier. What a waste of time you are.
+1, classic bot action.
I hope you die of covid, pangolin-eater.
I suspect they actually deliberately opened the dams in the area and that that is what caused the MASSIVE amount of water that took out homes, trees, thousands of people, pets, animals, property, etc.
They hate you and they want to kill you.
The federal government and the globalist psychopaths behind it are actually AT WAR against us. They consider us vermin and they mean to exterminate us. That's all you need to know.
Some of us have known that since the pandemic and the vaxx mandates.
But if the response to Helene doesn't make it abundantly clear to a person, that person may be beyond reaching at this point.
I didn't see your comment before I posted mine. I am in total agreement.
You are people are nutz! How much do you spend on Substack subscriptions that make you dumber?? 😂
How I wish you were right—we’re all nuts and everything is truly right with the world.

The Firesign Theatre
Last week my dear friend John and I had what may have been the last of many years of weekly lunches together. Not for the first time, we had failed to keep every trace of political reference out of our reliably-avid conversation, and John can’t take it any more.
To be clear: I have no problem with vigorous, even strenuous debate, whether with friends or strangers. Having long ago rejected the Official Narrative about our country, I have had no choice but to either call bullshit or have to listen to it. But John, like so many liberals in these times, is a political snowflake – fragile, unique (or so he thinks) and easily threatened with melting.
This time I screwed up by mentioning that the evening before I had seen a clip of the first cabinet meeting held by Joe Biden in the year 2024. Seated at the side of a long table among the cabinet secretaries, he slurred the meeting to order, and immediately turned its management over (illegitimately) to Jill, at the table’s head.
John’s reaction was revealingly twofold: he doubted that what I reported had taken place (as if he couldn’t possibly fact-check it, himself) and interpreted my anecdote as a criticism of the Biden-Harris administration, which is to say an expression of opposition to having Kamala as President.
For those of us who have gradually learned over the course of years or decades that everything we are told is a lie, that the United States is not a Democracy, that those who rule us are unelected and can’t be deposed, these givens are a dismal fact of life, but not a revelation. For people like John, they are an appalling shock that can’t be reconciled with what they think they know about the world. For many, even parting company with old friends is preferable to having their comfortable, if illusory, world shattered.
Before reaching the sad conclusion that we can’t meet for lunch any more, John and I had several exchanges which were revealing. He said that he “can’t figure out what I believe” - which is silly, because every time I have ever tried to tell him what I believe he panics, and doesn’t want to hear it, because it is too threatening. He also insisted that he “is not a Democrat, but an Independent.”
This took me a bit longer to parse, because I already regarded both political parties as poison when I first became eligible to vote, and have been registered as an Independent for over a half century. For much of that time “Independent” was a fair description of my opposition to a succession of rotten presidents, from Nixon and W, to Clinton and Obama.
But the Reds and Blues have gradually coalesced into the Uniparty, necessarily distinguished by embracing different tenets of divisive identity politics, but in comfortable agreement over deficit spending, endless wars, and ever-increasing control of our lives as citizens.
John assiduously studies the mainstream media, believing that he has become “informed” by the likes of the NYT, WaPo, NPR, BBC, MSNBC, etc. As the computer geeks say, “Garbage In/Garbage Out.” If all you know is the narrative parroted in obedient unison by those tools of the Uniparty, you are independent of nothing.
If you had awakened yesterday after a century in suspended animation, and knew nothing of contemporary politics, it would be possible to construct a reasonably accurate worldview from harder-to-find independent media including, of course, James Kunstler’s invaluable blog. But how can an old man hope to have any clue about what the hell is going on, if his mind is already filled with a meticulously crafted false narrative, leaving no room for Truth?
It saddens me that I won’t get to visit with my friend over lunch this week, but our present rift has probably only hastened the inevitable by a month or so. Because if Mr. Trump prevails in next month’s election John won’t want to face reality; and, if we wake up to find that Kamala has been declared President, he damned sure will not want to hear what I have to say.
Thanks for your comment as I am in the exact same situation with some friends and even my adult children.
The saddest thing is that there is no way we an ever win the argument with these deluded fools simply because there is no objective basis, no facts that both sides can rely on to make our points.
If I tell my sister that there are probably 20 million illegals that have been brought in, she simply says that BS, not true. I can cite any number of articles, videos, etc. and she says, nope, all lies.
Same thing with the adult children, now in their 50s when I argue with them about phony man made "climate change." I can provide them with articles from some of the top physicists, engineers, scientists in the world that prove "climate change" is a hoax and CO2 is actually necessary for life on earth, but they say, not that's all bogus, those are not "real" scientists.
And the beat goes on.....
I think it was also Mark Twain who said that it's hard to win an argument with a smart person, impossible to do so with a stupid on.
Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector in the 80's, said that such people were inured to facts, and that no amount of facts would break through the indoctrination, and that they would only see the truth when the boot was to the balls or they were lined up against the wall to be shot.
Wow that is painful to think of. 'Indoctrination' is absolutely the correct word.
Yup 100% correct. Read The Indoctrinated Brain by Dr Michael Nehls. He explains how the covid fear campaign and accompanying forced injections literally rewired many people's brains.
That is the very definition of a demoralized person: they will never change their position based on new information, but will change it immediately on the mere say-so of their “experts,” entirely without critique and often without even realizing their position has changed.
Demoralized? How about insane. Ignorant? Stupid? Gullible? Hide-bound?
Those work well enough as synonyms, except for ignorance which is a different condition and more easily cured. There is hope for the ignorant that doesn’t exist for the demoralized.
Yes. Only when they get kicked on their fat bottom he said.
Perfect description of our college campuses today. Those that run them believe themselves to be safe from the coming massacre because they fancy themselves elitists.
I refuse to discuss anything with them. There isn’t a point to it any longer. Everyone’s minds are made up. I doubt there are many undecided any more. There will be no coming together. Especially now that conservatives are done with giving an inch and liberals taking miles.
Conservatives will continue to invent plenty of creative, clever ways to lose and/or humiliate themselves. Don't worry.
Ryan - Troll - dumb lib. Will learn the hard way
I have a friend who has a friend like that. No amount of facts can get through the indoctrination. At some point, you just have to cut bait and let them wallow in their delusion.
I lost my two "best mates", had 'em for 40 years but the glare from my tinfoil hat drove them crazy 🤷 one is now dead, 2 months after the 1st booster, his son, 17, survived the 2nd jab, in ICU, but no longer can play sport. Heart. My Dad wouldn't hear me, 3 jabs, then he got Convid, sent home from hospital coz "he's old". He lived... 7 more weeks until the turbo cancer got him.
I see dead people.
Holy Crap, I'm so sorry for your position. OMG!
You are describing the life blood of MSNBC and CNN. Stupidity!!!!
The "legacy media" is extraordinarily powerful. Look at the mainstream media of 1930s Germany. They had very, very many Germans enthralled with Nazism. Today we look at those old newsreels and shake our heads.
I'm in the same boat as you. My son is reasonably intelligent except about politics and things that will affect his children, my grandchildren. On almost all issues he's bought into the Leftist pap. There is no reasonable discussion about anything. We practically came to blows last Thanksgiving. Since then, I don't discuss any politics or world view with him. Last I heard, his wife is supporting Kamala because " she's a woman." That moronic shit petrifies me. I'll be dead, as that's where us old dinosaurs are heading. But I worry about the world that my grandchildren will have to navigate after I'm gone. What weird guidance will their parents give them? Will they "wise up" after I'm dead? Here's to wishful thinking....
Dennis- Sad to say, I think it's this way for many of us "old timers" who are conservatives whose adult children have gone to the dark side, aka the DemonRats.
In my case, it is really incomprehensible how my kids (in their 50s) can be the most wonderful parents, citizens, neighbors, sons and daughters, yet be so f***** up when it comes to their political beliefs!
My grandchildren are growing up with way more than their parents had, including a stable family life which ours wasn't due to alcoholism and substance abuse issues.
I am very proud that their parents/ my children grew up to be so stable and productive in spite of everything. So I rack my brain wondering what the hell happened that causes these otherwise smart people to have "Harris/Walz" signs on their lawns??
Signs that I feel like tearing down and stomping on every time I stop by their homes!
By the way, there is one other thing that bothers me even MORE than the political stuff, something that is absolutely tragic, and that is the lack of religion and spirituality in their lives. This is one of my great heartbreaks- that my grandchildren have no idea about God, a Higher Power, a Creator, something greater than we are.
Religion is even more of a forbidden topic than politics and I am reduced to speaking with the grands when we are by ourselves, trying to instill in them the idea that the beauty we see all around us is not an accident, that there is a Creator who presides over all.
At this point I am feeling pretty hopeless because my influence is so insignificant as to be non-existent.
So my best solution has been over the years, to pray for them and ask the Good Lord to watch out for them, take care of them and maybe grant them the wisdom to see the error of their ways.
My grandchildren
