Sorry, folks but there absolutely nothing normal about this map. That hurricane is enormous.


 


























































Previous to Nicole was a tornado outbreak in Texas. Among the many tornadoes that touched down and did damage was an EF 4 that sustained as an EF4 for one hour. 

ONE HOUR EF4 TORNADO. The satellite images show the straight and devastating path of an hour long tornado.

This is November. The heat within the troposphere is incredibly high.

...Among (click here) the most severe was a strong EF4 tornado that touched down near Clarksville, Texas, at 6:15 p.m. local time and left a wide line of damage as it moved toward Idabel, Oklahoma, over the course of an hour. On November 5, 2022, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired this natural-color image (right) showing the damage track in Red River County, Texas. For comparison, the OLI image on the left shows the same area on October 20, 2022, prior to the tornado. Signs of damage are most visible where the tornado tore through forests (dark green). The track is more difficult to see in pastures and farmland (light green)....

On Nov. 4 and Nov. 5, at least 29 tornadoes (click here) were recorded in northeastern Texas, southeastern Oklahoma, southwestern Arkansas and northwestern Louisiana. The tornadoes varied in strength and intensity with four measuring EF-0, 15 were EF-1, six had an EF-2 rating, and two each were EF-3 and EF-4.

The severe thunderstorm systems that caused these tornadoes put 28 million people at risk throughout the region. In advance of the storms, there were concerns about tornadoes occurring at night because the risk of death with nighttime is 2.5 times higher than daytime tornadoes....

Nicole has plenty of water vapor and heat feeding that system.

Nicole (click here) is continuing its destructive journey across the southeastern United States with multiple fatalities and significant damage reported across the region. Nicole made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane before sunrise on Thursday and has since returned to tropical storm status as the storm churns over Florida. Its destructive winds and heavy rains toppled homes and piers along the coast into the ocean and created widespread damage across the state.

An unresponsive man was pronounced dead Thursday morning after being shocked by a downed power line in Conway, Florida, which is just outside of Orlando, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO). A woman traveling with the man was also electrocuted and later died at a hospital.

“We are urging all of our residents and visitors to use extreme caution if they are outside in the wake of the storm today,” the office wrote in a social media post. “Never touch a downed power line. If you are driving and see a downed power line, change directions immediately.”

Authorities in Orange County, Florida, said that two more people have been killed in a storm-related incident. Florida Highway Patrol said a pickup truck driving on the turnpike around 5:30 a.m. swerved toward the shoulder of Florida's Turnpike after losing control and struck a driver of a tow truck who was standing behind his parked truck. Both drivers were killed. The crash remains under investigation....

In case any American is wondering if the Climate Crisis is bad and dangerous to human life, the answer is "yes." It is very dangerous and deadly. 

Very dangerous winds will produce some damage: (click here) Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days
