This hurricane season is shaping up to be one of the most intense of recent years with many powerful storms that displayed rapid formation, fast intensification, and incredible amounts of damage due to heavy rain and floods. Here’s a summary of the most significant storms on September:
Hurricane Francine rapidly intensified into a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 100 mph (155 km/h), making landfall in southern Louisiana, torrential rains and severe flooding caused widespread damage, submerging homes and infrastructure, and resulting in $1.5 billion in damages. Fortunately, there were no fatalities.
Storm Boris reached wind speeds of 75 mph (120 km/h) and rainfall of up to 14 inches (360 mm) in some areas of Central and Eastern Europe, causing the Elbe and Danube rivers to overflow, submerging entire communities, collapsing bridges, damaging homes, and sweeping away cars. The floods caused at least 19 deaths and significant economic losses, making it one of the worst flooding events in the region in decades.
Hurricane John made landfall in southwestern Mexico as a powerful Category 3 hurricane, with sustained winds of 120 mph (195 km/h). Up to 20 inches of rain caused severe flooding and widespread devastation, submerging homes and infrastructure. The storm resulted in at least 22 deaths and affected approximately 730,000 families. The impact on infrastructure and tourism was significant, making it one of the most destructive hurricanes to hit the region in recent years, along with Hurricane Ottis, which hit the same area last year.
Typhoon Yagi became the most powerful and destructive storm to hit East and Southeast Asia in recent years. The storm reached winds of 260 km/h (160 mph), and torrential rain, floods, and high winds caused widespread devastation, resulting in more than 830 deaths, 2,270 injuries, and 131 missing. The impact of the storm was particularly severe in Vietnam and Myanmar, where it caused significant and widespread damage to infrastructure and farmland, including roads, telecommunications, and power networks.
Hurricane Helene made landfall near Horseshoe Beach, Florida with sustained winds of 120 mph (195 km/h), and bringing catastrophic torrential rainfall to the southeastern United States. The storm surge caused extensive coastal flooding, while the heavy rains triggered historic inland flooding, particularly in the southern Appalachians. At least 230 fatalities across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The devastation in North Carolina is unprecedented, with estimates of more than 1,000 deaths and hundreds of people still missing. The Rocky Broad River overflowed, causing significant debris and damage to towns such as Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. The state’s infrastructure suffered immense damage, with hundreds of roads rendered inaccessible. The flooding was so severe that in some areas, water levels were reported to have reached the roofs of homes.
The economic losses were substantial, with billions of dollars in damages and long-term recovery efforts required. Many residents were left without power, clean water, or communication. Emergency services are still struggling to reach the affected areas, while the police and military are not allowing or limiting help from neighboring states and local counties.
And FEMA? Well, they’re out of money to help the continuous waves of illegal aliens, while the Biden-Kamala administration offered the dashing amount of $750 per person in the most affected areas... and nice thoughts and prayers, as they need all the money they can get to fund their criminal partners in Ukraine and Israel.
How bad does it have to get for people to fully realize that the psychopaths in the US government, and well, most Western governments for that matter, don’t give a damn about our collective well-being, and even our lives? There are plenty of obvious examples right now.
If most of us realized this and did something about it, things would change pretty quickly, but at least right now it seems that most of us still need a stronger shock to wake up and smell the coffee.
While the pathocracy creates more chaos out there, and most people are unable to respond fittingly to it, nature responds... and things are not looking pretty. But, well, lights are also starting to shine here and there, in NC we see people doing everything they can to help each other in hard times, no matter what their corrupt government says. Hopefully this will become a trend.
