Final part stuff
I blame Biden
haarp
12 hours???????
Is LA going to get hit again?
Praying
This is terrible. Petroleum companies and our governments who don’t understand global warming are partially responsible for this tragedy that unfolds.

What’s going on?
There has only been one other hurricane that strengthened quicker than Hurricane Otis did here from a strong tropical storm to a category 5 hurricane. That was Hurricane Patricia back in 2015. Patricia strengthened from a strong tropical storm to a category 5 hurricane in only 12hrs of time. Otis strengthened explosively from a strong tropical storm to a category 5 hurricane in about 15hrs of time. However, Patricia strengthened explosively while far out to sea, and not while making imminent landfall like Otis did here.
I seriously doubt that the poor people around Acapulco had the time to prepare for a hurricane of this magnitude during what had to be rapidly deteriorating weather conditions as the storm approached them. There’s almost no way those people could have properly prepared for a storm of this magnitude! My thoughts are with the people of that region right now.
Labor Pains
It’s gotta be climate change – right?
People will say they had no idea that rapid intensification could happen like that, but mother nature gave us a warning earlier in the year when Hurricane Lee turned to cat 5 in 24 hrs. We seen it many times in the gulf where rapid intensification occurred at the same water temperatures. This may be the start of the new norm. A hurricane made it up to lower California.
To be fair, I would have only thought it would go up to Cat 3 in those warm waters because of the SHORT PATH. For it to run cat 5 in that short movement and time is insane. I will admit. Although world maps can be deceptive. It might be a similar length.
Tropical storm to a Cat 5 in 12 hours is crazy
Stay safe everyone 💔🙏💔
👧🏻: Global Warming !
— ya, Greta
The Insanity of Global Warming
780,000 people, so why say 1,000,000?
intensifying That quick is insane. Prayers for them people who clearly caught off guard by this storm. The residents and the tourists. Might be a crazy moment in time down there.
