Cat 4 is nothing to sneeze at. One year, for the fun of it and to see what's what, we took a journey through North Carolina during a Cat 1 at night, on some concocted long-distance errand which often is our wont. We were about a hundred miles inland on I95 paralleling the coast (N-S highway numbers are odd numbers). Inland tropical air in the temperate zone is a big change, and of course the wind and rain was impressive. But that was a Cat 1, far from the Atlantic.
I heard one projection of an 18 foot storm surge for this Cat 4. That can't be possible, can it? They're usually just a few feet in those parts.
LOL NORMAL EVERYDAY tides are bigger than that in some parts of earth.
Now that the hurricane has passed, initial reports indicate a tidal surge of 7 feet.
Which is relatively NOTHING, in the scheme of things or compared to other parts of 'the world'.

That's the highest I've heard so far.
You are SERIOUSLY NOT trying to say a 7 foot tidal surge is of ANY real significance are you?
If you lived on an island in the middle of the pacific ocean where the highest bit of ground was not much more, or was even lower than just 7 foot, then I would TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, but in relation to the SIZE of the land, which is called the misnomer "united states of america", then REALLY, WHO CARES?
Why do a GREAT MAJORITY of those who live in that country come across as the MOST self-centered people on earth?

Maybe the tidal surge was higher elsewhere but any witnesses could have been washed out to sea.
OF COURSE ANY 'witnesses' could have been washed out to sea. BUT;
1. One of the first rules of ANY typhoon, hurricane, or cyclone is do NOT stand somewhere and looking at things IF you could be WASHED OUT TO SEA. Or, in that country are people ADVISED to "GO STAND NEAR THE SEA and WITNESS the hurricane a coming", instead?
2. ANY witnesses on ANY coastline off ANY country at just about ANY time can be WASHED OUT TO SEE by a tidal surge, a tidal wave, or just a wave, let alone when a category or signal 4 or 5 hurricane is crossing the coast.

Initial estimates are many fatalities due to the storm,
Here is ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE of 'emotive' talk, to 'try to' cause a REACTION.
Now, HOW MANY does the 'many' word here refer to, EXACTLY?
Even if a hundred human beings 'died' in that storm that would still be a FAR DEAL LESS that the human beings of that country have KILLED by just DROPPING human being MADE BOMBS on "other's" heads.
Also, 'many' is such a RELATIVE word it seems hilarious to use it in such a circumstance, other than, of course, just to emote a reaction. And, a reaction EXACTLY like what 'you' are portraying and showing here "walker".
See, if a hundred or a thousand 'died' from that one storm, then this is NOT many AT ALL in relation to 'that country', 'the over-population' of 'that country' NOR in relation to just HOW MANY of 'you', people, 'you' people actually SHOOT and KILL each year anyway. After all, 'you', people, would probably SHOOT and KILL FAR, FAR MORE of 'your' OWN people than that INSIGNIFICANT other LITTLE number. And this is NOT even including those people in OTHER countries.
However, and OBVIOUSLY, MANY is a HUGE number if one or more within one's OWN close-nit family was KILLED in a storm, or by A GUN, for that matter.

or some would say due to God and any of God's accomplices. But these are early guesses. The authorities can't even get to all the rubble yet.
You speak as though this is some sort of unusual activity AFTER a storm. Or, like that this is some sort of an unusual occurrence.

Not so funny now, huh.
I would NOT be so sure if I was you.
Walker wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 4:11 pm
Lots of dead folks.
Before you said, "many", now you say, "lots". So, HOW MANY is 'many' and HOW MANY is 'lots'?
And, are you even AWARE that DYING from storms is BOUND TO HAPPEN, but DYING from GUNSHOT WOUNDS is ABSOLUTELY and COMPLETELY UNAVOIDABLE?
Now, HOW MANY DIED from GUNSHOTS WOUNDS on the SAME DAY that that storm crossed a coastline, AND, HOW MANY DIED from THAT STORM?

Of course, what better time for someone who lives in the area to get a fresh start in life, particularly one with heavy debts to unscrupulous villains. Just vanish, and read your own obituary.
How would one 'survive' in a country like that when they are supposed to be dead?

After all, we're talking Florida here, infamous for its eccentric folks.
And the rest of that country is NOT infamously known for its eccentric folks?
From the rest of the world's perspective, we just look at who gets voted in as the so-called "leaders" of that WHOLE, (eccentric) country.

That obviously won't work in the future, when all souls are geotagged.
I would NOT want to work in NOR for a country of such ill-repute also.

Quite a process. The air pressure pushing down on the surface of the ocean decreases, causing the surface of the ocean to rise. Aka, storm surge accentuated by the tides and the wind.
Now Age, sink your teeth into this line of reasoning.
I might just LOOK AT 'it' instead.

Question: Where can you find decreased air pressure under normal conditions?
Answer: The high mountains. The high country.
Question: Who is attracted to the high country?
Answer: Traditionally, the enlightened ones dwell at the source of the Ganges, and at the source of the source.
As some might say, "WTF".
