“Three consecutive years of drought, while they have stimulated the inventive resources of practical agriculturists, have had the natural effect of calling forth a plentiful crop of speculation from weather prophets and projectors, and half-instructed meteorologists, and all the philosophic tribe of Laputa in general, to whom the periodical press now affords such fatal facilities. We have often noticed that in the tabular statements of those compilers of weather records who write to the Times, useful and welcome as their communications are, every season is sure to be “extraordinary,” almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest or hottest, ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it. And many seem now to regard three dry hot years in succession as betokening some general change of climate, as if it was not perfectly certain, in the wide range of the table of what we call chances, that with our existing conditions of climate such a combination must every now and then recur. We know an ingenious theorist who would fain persuade us that a cycle of six hundred unfavorable years has just reached its termination, and that English agriculturists, who left off making wine about AD 1250 because their grapes ceased to ripen, will soon be making it again, and continue to do so for an equivalent number of centuries. Others, speculating quite as conjecturally and even more absurdly, seem to attribute the impending change of climate—of which they assume the reality—to the operation of men.” ~ Imaginary Changes of Climate; The Brisbane Courier, p. 4; January 10, 1871

Nothing new under the sun, especially when it comes to weather and the alarmist retards that are afraid of it.

That would be very surprising, since I’d never used that board.

People have weird priorities when choosing where to live.

Natural disasters can happen anywhere, are you joking??

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 6 monthsOct 6, 2024 10:44:40 ago (+1/-0)

They "can", but in some places they happen frequently, and in other places they're rare. Here's the National Hurricane risk map of the US.

https://hazards.fema.gov/nri/hurricane

You'll note that while hurricanes can happen anywhere, in some places it's one or more times per year, and in other places it's once every 1000 years. Every planetary-based natural disaster has a similar frequency map.

In 1954 and 1982 we had terrific rainstorms. In 1989 we had an earthquake, with the next expected in 100+ years. In 1992 the temperature dropped as low as 26F and stuff literally froze. So yeah, natural disasters happen here too, just not as frequently as some other places. Tornados, for example, are in that 'once every 1000 years' category.

Definitely manipulated. Weather modification has been going on for a LONG time.

They should only allow concrete homes to be built in florida. Quite frankly I think insurance for any other construction will make it impossible to do stick and paste much longer
.

Homes have to count on being hit with 150 plus mile an hour winds sometime over there 30 to 100 Year lifetime and only concrete can make that insurable.
Concrete homes on concrete stilts with raised garages preferably unless you want your car to blow away too

Concrete reinforced with rebar. When I lived in the far east, typhoons didn't scare me. Even the windows were reinforced with wire.
