Remember Hurricane Beryl?

Came through last month. It was the earliest storm to attain Cat 5 status, and hit Cat 5 status 2 weeks earlier than the previous record storm.
I heard dire warnings about Climate Change and what a terrible summer we were in for.
Since then, no hurricanes or even tropical storms. The Climate Change advocates are silent this week.

Climate change is a hoax
20,000 years ago the last ice age ended. It has been getting warmer since. Natural occurrence.
The weather is going to do what it wants, and there is nothing we can do about it.

Well no, not exactly. Man made climate change is a hoax, but the climate has been changing since this rock was minted.
Full disclosure….. I have never been anywhere near a hurricane.
That said, I am a weather fanatic. I love to study and predict weather based on what I see happening with fronts and pressures.
Texas has had some major storms and come out of after a short period of time.
Beyrl came ashore as a Cat 1 storm. why 3 weeks later and change, are some areas without power? Why did people die after the fact from heat related issues?
It appears that more people died after the fact than were killed from direct storm related issues.
Uh oh. What timing! There is a thunderstorm down in the Caribbean, it is going to strengthen and hit Pensacola on Monday, with winds of 60 mph.
To boil it down, here in the middle of the summer, it is going to rain in Florida.
If that's not Global Warming I don't know what is.
From Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_County,_Virginia
"On the night of August 19–20, 1969, Nelson County was struck by disastrous flooding caused by Hurricane Camille. The hurricane hit the Gulf Coast two days earlier, weakened over land, and stalled on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, dumping a world-record quantity of 27 inches (690 mm) of rain, mainly in a three-hour period. Over five hours, it yielded more than 37 inches (940 mm), while the previous day had seen a deluge of 5 inches (130 mm) in half an hour, with the ground already saturated. There were reports of animals drowning in trees and people who had had to cup their hands around their mouth and nose to breathe.[5]
Mudslide damage in Nelson County after the passage of Hurricane Camille
Flash floods and mudslides killed 153 people, 31 from Roseland, Tyro, and Massies Mill alone.[6] Over 133 public bridges were washed out in Nelson County
That's more precisely what I meant to say
Yeah, but don't worry, climate change is a terrible conspiracy invented by scientists and other liberal antiTrump liberals to vex troglodites and other luddities. You will be fine with a tarp over everything. Keeping a good thought for you brother.
