The Atlantic Ocean's biggest hurricanes are getting stronger more quickly than they were 30 years ago, according to new research. And they're now gaining power in different parts of the Atlantic than was previously the case. It's mainly down to a mysterious ocean cycle called the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, which may be coming to the end of a period of warming.
The prime cause is the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), a climate cycle that affects ocean temperature, which in turn influences the formation of hurricanes.This is the cycle of heating and cooling in the North Atlantic, each of which usually lasts at least a decade.
Rapid intensification
The researchers analysed 16 climate studies created to assess global warming, using data gathered between 1986 and 2015. They took a close look at the rapid intensification process of hurricanes. This is a crucial part of a major hurricane's development when its maximum wind speed increases by at least 25 knots (46 km/h) within 24 hours. Think of it as a signature of a big hurricane, evident in last year's Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria. Almost all category 4 and 5 Atlantic hurricanes experience this intensification.
Though the researchers found that these rapid intensifications are not happening more frequently, they found that significant storms are growing more powerful more quickly in this 24 hour window than they were 30 years ago.
Nearly one year after Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico residents see a failure at all levels of government, poll finds Residents of the island territory sharply rebuke President Trump, along with the federal and local governments, for last year’s response to Hurricane Maria, a devastating storm that created an enduring humanitarian crisis affecting nearly all aspects of life in Puerto Rico, according to a new Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll.

Yeah....fema should be ashamed, but trump touts his victory....whatta joke.
The anti-Trump backlash is about to collide violently with the GOP's structural, countermajoritarian advantages in this election - and the winner of the clash will decide whether President Donald Trump will be subjected to genuine oversight or will effectively be given even freer reign to unleash more corruption and more authoritarianism, while expanding his cruel, ethnonationalist and plutocratic agenda. Three new polls this morning confirm that this anti-Trump backlash is running strong, with less than two months to go until the midterm elections: -A new Quinnipiac University poll finds that Democrats have opened a 14-point lead in the battle for the House, 52 to 38. By 58 percent to 27 percent, voters want Congress to be more of a check on Trump. -A new CNN poll finds that Americans approve of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation by 50 to 38 - a new high in CNN polling. By 61 to 33, Americans say it is examining a "serious matter that should be fully investigated," as opposed to the "witch hunt" that Trump rage-tweeted about again this morning. -A new NPR/Marist poll finds that Democrats lead by 12 points in the battle for the House, 50 to 38. Trump's approval is at 39 to 52, making this the fifth recent poll to put Trump below 40 percent. Crucially, these polls all dovetail with the basic story we've seen throughout this cycle, which is that Trump has provoked a backlash among minorities, young people and college-educated and suburban whites, especially women - and even seemingly among independents - that has powered Democratic victories in unlikely places. The new polling finds the backlash is running strong among these groups right now: -The new Quinnipiac poll finds Democrats leading in the generic-ballot matchup by 20 points among women; by 15 points among independents; by 9 points among college-educated whites (sometimes a Republican-leaning group); and by enormous margins among young people, blacks and Latinos. -In the Quinnipiac poll, women want Congress to be a check on Trump by 62 to 23; independents want this by 60 to 25, and college-educated whites want it by 57 to 31. -The new CNN poll finds that women approve of the Mueller investigation by 10 points, independents approve of it by 14 points and college-educated whites approve of it by 23 points.
And yet they keep electing Democrats to state and local office.
Which proves what....trump did a better job on the hurricane????? Yeah, they all grandstand....like rick scott the fraud who is running on the premise nelson is too old.....
Texas was run by Republicans that was the diffrence.
For all of his faults Jeb Bush performed admirably during the four Hurricanes Florida experenced in the summer of 2004.
And Rick Scott was oustanding coordinating Irma relief last year.
Story is always the same. When Republicans are in charge of state and local governments, disaster relief goes smoothly. When Democrats are in charge, disaster relief is itself a disaster.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has an unusual way to track the severity of a natural disaster, and it involves Waffle House restaurants.
The chain, whose restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, is famous for staying open during many natural disasters. When it closes, that suggests an event was especially bad and likely to have devastating effects on the economy.
Because of this, FEMA internally uses an unofficial "Waffle House Index" to track potentially dangerous events.
"If a Waffle House store is open and offering a full menu, the index is green," a 2011 article in the magazine EHS Today says. "If it is open but serving from a limited menu, it's yellow. When the location has been forced to close, the index is red."
September 12, 2018 Home Depot stores in Hurricane Florence's path will remain open as long as it's safe to do so. The following stores are currently closed:
North Carolina
Jacksonville, NC - Store #3655 Myrtle Grove, NC - Store #3609 Wilmington, NC - Store #3629 Kitty Hawk, NC - Store #3650 Shallotte, NC - Store #3648 South Carolina
North Myrtle Beach, SC - Store #1121 Myrtle Beach, SC - Store #1116 Murrells Inlet, SC - Store #1122 Charleston, SC - Store #1103 Summerville, SC - Store #1120 East Charleston, SC - Store #1118 "
No 24-hour diner chain inspires quite the same cult following as Waffle House. Since its founding in Atlanta some 60 years ago, the restaurant has been elevated to cultural touchstone, now sprawling across 25 U.S. states with more than 2,000 locations.
Slinging humble breakfast fare around the clock, Waffle House inspires deep and unyielding loyalty in diners like few restaurant chains (except maybe Whataburger) can. Is it the cheap prices? The no-frills atmosphere? Those illustrious hash browns that somehow taste better when you’re intoxicated? The waitresses that inevitably call you “honey”? Likely some combination of all of the above, plus a little bit of that inexplicable Southern diner magic — call it the Waffle House je ne sais quoi.
The chain has inspired numerous books, including a first-person narrative from a former line cook titled As the Waffle Burns as well as one by a pastor called — naturally — The Gospel According to Waffle House. The chain, which claims to have sold its billionth waffle sometime in 2015, recently saw both of its founders, Tom Forkner and Joe Rogers Sr., die within just two months of one another. Here now, a look back at the legend, and for fans near and far, everything you need to know about Waffle House.

HEALTH & MEDICINE California’s poverty rate is still the highest in the nation, despite state efforts
BY MICHAEL FINCH mfinch@sacbee.com
LINKEDIN GOOGLE+ PINTEREST REDDIT PRINT ORDER REPRINT OF THIS STORY September 12, 2018 11:41 AM Newly released federal estimates show California’s poverty rate remained the highest in the nation, despite a modest fall, and the state’s falling uninsured rate slowed for the first time since before Medicaid expansion.
According to the Census Bureau, the share of Californians in poverty fell to 19 percent — a 1.4 percent decrease from last year. However, policy experts warned that in spite of the good news more than 7 million people still struggle to get by in the state.
The poverty figures released Wednesday are said to paint the best picture of life for California’s working poor since it encompasses income from government programs and factors in the high cost of living in some corners of the state.
Although California has a vigorous economy and a number of safety net programs to aid needy residents, it’s often not enough to forestall economic hardship for one out of every five residents, the data show.

Some points to ponder and for cramps to deny.....oh well
Hurricane Florence is an almost impossibly rare threat. A storm this powerful is exceedingly rare this far north on the East Coast. Never before has a hurricane threatened the East Coast with nearly four feet of rainfall. In just two cases since our records began in 1851 — Hazel in 1954 and Hugo in 1989 — has a Carolina hurricane provoked an 18-foot rise in the ocean tide.
In my two decades as a meteorologist, I can’t recall a single storm that threatened new all-time records in all three of these, simultaneously, anywhere in the world. Despite what some of my more hesitant colleagues might say, you can connect individual weather events to climate change in this day and age. Quite simply, Hurricane Florence is a storm made worse by climate change.
CONTENT FROM US BANK “People deserve the opportunity to dream, believe and achieve, and to be able to do that, [they’ve] got to understand finance.” - Sherry Garmon Read More A warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor — producing heavier downpours and providing more energy to hurricanes, boosting their destructive potential. We already have evidence of these trends from around the world. This is no longer just a theory.
The Carolinas are likely to join Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, California and countless other places worldwide that have experienced such deadly weather over the past 12 months. On Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey issued a statement predicting that Florence could erode away protective dunes from three-quarters of North Carolina’s beaches. Like the otherworldly wildfire smoke that dimmed the British Columbia sun last month or the clear-day floods that routinely hit the Marshall Islands, this week’s potentially coastline-erasing landfall is a glimpse into a haunting world that has arrived too soon.
Since modern tracking began, no hurricane with its origins in the hundreds-of-miles-wide patch of the central Atlantic where Florence traveled has ever made landfall on the East Coast, or even come close. Thanks to unusually warm ocean waters, Florence has intensified at one of the fastest rates in recorded history for a hurricane so far north. Thanks in part to unusually warm ocean waters between New England and Greenland, the atmosphere has formed a near-record-strength blocking pattern — not unlike the one that steered Hurricane Sandy into New York Harbor in 2012 — that is propelling Florence toward the Southeast coastline. Another blocking pattern, expected to emerge later this week over the Great Lakes, could lock Florence in place for days — which would result in an abject freshwater flood that could extend hundreds of miles inland.
Kevin Trenberth, a climate researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, co-wrote a May paper showing that Harvey’s cataclysmic wetness came from the unusually hot Gulf of Mexico water that fed the hurricane before it slammed into Texas. “Harvey could not have produced so much rain without human-induced climate change,” he and his colleagues concluded. Now Florence is feasting on warm Atlantic Ocean water. “The ocean is warming up systematically,” Mr. Trenberth said, explaining that, though natural variation can turn surface temperatures up or down a bit, the oceans’ energy content is inexorably rising. “It is the strongest signal of global warming,” Mr. Trenberth added.
Scientists also warn that climate change may be slowing the wind currents that guide hurricanes, making storms more sluggish and, therefore, apt to linger longer over disaster zones. Tropical cyclone movement has slowed all over the planet. Harvey’s stubborn refusal to leave the Houston area was a decisive factor in its destructiveness. Florence may behave similarly.
And human-caused sea-level rise encourages higher storm surges and fewer natural barriers between water and people.
Harvey's wetness came because it stalled over Houston for three days. The rate of rainfall was typical for a Tropical storms. It will be the same case with Florance.
The warning that climate change may be "slowing" steering currents for Hurricanes is absolute bunk without a shread of facts to back it up.
But it is fathfully repeated by the media and other idiots because a "scientist" said it.
This is just like the nonsense that vaccinations causes autisim in children. The study was absolutly bogus but because a "scientist" said it, people stop getting vaccinations for their children.
steering currents for Hurricanes is absolute bunk without a shred of facts to back it up.
They have facts....you have an unlearned opinion,, The vaccine hoax was thoroughly debunked....except for a few too stupid to understand....kinda like you and GW.....
