    **WARNING THIS IS RAISIN CAKES STUFF** BUT ALSO A BIT FUNNY

    I just got hit with a bunch of conspiracy theory about hurricane helene. To be as brief as possible, social media bots are sending out disinfo that "they" * use the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) to create the storm to prevent GOP states from voting in the upcoming presidential election.

    There are difference variations (aka the hurricane was seeded** to get Diddy off the front page bc he is connected to top people in the govt, or voter suppression)



    *why is it always 'they"
    ** not sure if weather modification is the same as chemtrails

    Someone on my timeline was posting some today. I have friends and co-workers there. I'm watching their very real and desperate needs be shouted down by folks who don't understand basic weather, geography, construction, government/FEMA operations, or fact checking.

    Just additional proof of Trump's real estate genius. He wanted to buy it expecting it to be a real estate mecca soon, with warm sandy beaches! Here is your proof!

    Oh wait, that was Greenland? Sorry. I guess it would have just been Trump's next casino bankruptcy crypto business winning portfolio addition.

    MTG may be on to something. If liberals could control the weather, I would line up hurricane after hurricane and aim them at Florida. Maybe swing one back towards Texas every so often, but basically, Florida Florida Florida.

    Anyways, say hello to Milton, just formed in the Gulf of Mexico and currently projected to be a major (*) hurricane, currently aimed at the Tampa Bay area with arrival projected for Tuesday.

    (*) "major" is defined as category 3 or higher on the 1-5 scale of hurricane categories.

    But the rain is really a bigger issue (as the Saffir-Simpson scale is based on wind). Looks like this one will drop less rain than Helene.

    meanwhile Trump might be the only person left in the country who still thinks climate change is a scam as he said (3:27) last week...

    We know you drive an 30 year-old rusty GMC Jimmy, with a broken windshield, odd tires, no license plate, a footwell full of empty beer bottles, high as a kite, shirtless, with face tats. It's what Florida Men do.

    The lying about this situation and the FEMA response needs to stop. If for no other reason than people in these devastated areas are now thinking there’s no help available, when there is.

    https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor-response

    I was in Lowe's yesterday in the Portsmouth Va area and overheard 2 people talking about how the hurricane was "diverted" to GOP areas to suppress voting:
    1- I work for NOAA as a contractor and the amount of energy needed to move a hurricane would equal multiple nuclear power plants.
    2- weather modification is still not a thing. It is experimental. It is being tested
    3- the lies are easily disproven and overshadow the actual needs of the people in affected areas.

    I have a climbing buddy who is a fed contractor, using her spare time to send supplies into the area. I spoke to her last week and she complained that FEMA and the National Guard are nowhere to be found. Then about two minutes later, she said that FEMA diverted her since roads were closed where she was trying to go. :mad::mad::mad:

    Man, I didn't even make the connection. Hurricane Milton is going to Florida and could set the building on fire. Hurricane Milton is headed to Florida to see if that's where Lumbergh took his red Swingline stapler. Hurricane Milton is going to see if the squirrels in Florida are still married.

    On related news, according to one of the guys in the Accuweather channel, it is the first time there are three simultaneously active hurricanes in the Atlantic this late in the year.

    Drill drill drill baby!
