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

      The wine cave liberals really, really enjoy death and suffering, especially if they can watch it on their screens. It is like their Prestige TV treats, but authentic. Authenticity is very valuable to the bored idle rich. libbing-out 🍷 clink 🍷 maybe-later-honey

    I can only find info on hurricane ivan, and that’s not supposed to hit the us. What are the other ones?

      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.

          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

      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.

        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

      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

      I'm not really invested in this but the specific claim made here doesn't seem to be factually inaccurate? I have no doubt Nazis take it out of context and make it sound like Jews were out in the streets of New Jersey en masse dancing up a storm after 9/11, but this specific occurrence did happen, so...

      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
