3-4 more hurricanes gonna hit back to back. Giant toxic chemical clouds in Georgia. A protracted labor battle at the ports.

    I don't think any of this will be enough to collapse America unfortunately. Nothing ever happens kitty-cri-potato

      Our position as the international hegemon is definitely in decline, but yeah outright collapse doesn't seem likely.

      Look at Britain; just a century ago they were in the position we are in now. They're no longer at the head of global empire, but all their political structures and institutions still exist today prettymuch unchanged.

        I think Britain was propped up by the US and the rest of the EU. They severed their connection to the EU which has already massively backfired, and the US won't bail out the UK anymore if the US is also collapsing

    MFW we’re literal communists and we probably care more about the well-being of this country than its so-called ‘patriots’.

      Possibly from a source similar to this? Not sure. I just skimmed for this.

          The size of the centipede is distorted by Mercator projection, it’s not that big, don’t worry.

              Sorry I couldn’t quite hear that over the sound of my rocket engine as I head to a new planet. But as I was saying, nothing to fear from the centipede.

          And yet the government insists on sending more money to Israel, instead of doing the sensible thing with the money: Building giant mechs to fight the centipede in the Atlantic before it reaches the coast

          Ommunism is when there's a comically large spoon to eat all the grain and capitalism is when there's a JFC-sized centipede.

        I actually think this is the one I was referencing in my comment lol, idk where I got the name Ivan from. It'll definitely affect the eastern seaboard, and could cause some bad flooding on the coast, but I don't think it's supposed to actually make landfall in the us

          right but it shows several other storms brewing if you scroll down

          although I think one has dissipated since I first looked, in the gulf

      Best resource outside of local (weather) news would be https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc. I relied on them, Tropical Tidbits, and checking local when a local hit was likely when I lived in Florida.

      Looks like I see 3 cells, 1 named, 1 likely, 1 possible.

      clickbait bullshit

      there are several named storms in the Atlantic rn (Ivan, Joyce, & Kirk), none of which are expected to hit the continental US

      there's a depression forming in the gulf that won't be a hurricane but could dump an unfortunate amount of rain on all the areas hit by Helene

      there's another depression forming off the eastern coast of Africa that is likely to turn into Tropical Storm Leslie, but it's gonna take a few days to a week to see if that happens and how she decides to move across the ocean
