I was up early this morning; I had a guy coming to clear my rain gutters, so I got up early to make sure my eyes were awake and clear when he arrived 😉
Just before he pulled up, I
happened to glance out the window, and saw another rainbow … the second one in
a week’s time 😊
I finished the last chapter
of one book, and started another.
I learned that we have some
pretty fancy sea creatures on our Pacific Ocean – I have the buffed, shiny
shells of the Moon Snail in the shell collection my grandson used to play with
when he was allowed to spend time with me. He no longer visits … and I have
stored the shell collection away.
After Jared left, I was notified of a “catastrophic
storm coming in!”
It isn’t.
It’s more fearmongering fodder.
And it actually makes me angry that people
would continue to swallow this politically generated BS.
Media sources are going nuts
with reports of “category 5 atmospheric river brings record-breaking river
levels to the PNW!”
LIES!
I’m not denying that there is a storm blowing in.
I am not denying that it is causing hardship.
What I am denying is that it is {catastrophic}: it isn’t. WA State has experienced much worse.
On average, any given year, December is the
wettest month with 5.98 inch of precipitation; often in November, towards
Thanksgiving time, the wiles of nature will come early and hit hard.
The February
1996 flood was one of the most widespread across the
whole Pacific Northwest and Washington: 24 of 39 Washington State counties
were affected. A precursor to the event was an extended period of cold
temperatures that brought snow to low elevations and created river ice on the
east side of the Cascades.
Alyna was a 3 month infant, and the kids had moved to Oregon; flooding took place up and down I-5 in both States. The news coverage highlighted every frightening scenario imaginable; Bob and I were worried sick about our kids, and thier babies.

According to the US
Geological Survey, flooding is the most destructive natural disaster in
Washington. Severe floods occur at least once every 4 1/2 years.
The main cause of floods is excessive amounts of precipitation and, depending
on the season, rapid snowmelt due to heavy rainfall or periods of warm wind.
Recently recorded heaviest rainfall
in 24 hours was 14.26″ at Mt. Mitchell, in the Skamania
Cascade Range around Thanksgiving Holiday, in 1986.
The Olympic Rain
Forest is statistically the
wettest spot in the Lower 48. The Olympic Mountains have a front row seat to the
potent jet stream that relentlessly carries juicy storms into Western
Washington for much of the autumn and winter.
On 29 January 1921,
sustained winds reached 113 mph with gust estimated to 150 mph along
the Pacific Ocean shoreline, the strongest winds ever observed over Washington
State. When 1962 rolled around, WA State was hit with the Columbus Day
Storm – winds were recorded at 179 mph. The Inauguration Day Storm of 1993,
blew 60 - 75 mph winds off the Columbia River that whipped up white caps on the
river that flowed past our livingroom windows; and toppled a 100 ft. evergreen
at the end of our driveway.
Clearly, the 30 to 50 mph
winds fearmongers using to push the climate change agenda is ridiculous. Media
talking heads can’t help themselves. The truth isn’t in them; they’ve been
brainwashed with the demonrat {climate change} nonsense.
They are too deluded with the
demonrat agenda, that they don’t know how stupid – and out of touch –
they sound, sitting before the mic puffed up with ego-stroking self-importance.
And, some easily led minion will freak out, be snagged by the contrived
fearmongering agenda, and start parroting the political narrative … which is climate
change nonsense: it never fails.
This continual reporting of “catastrophic”
weather patterns is nonsense.
There is nothing happening
here, except normal seasonal cycling.
And paid political parrots
blowing wind …
Obviously while in their
basements blowing wind; and hiding from the covid virus while cheering dementia
joe and clueless harris on; they missed the skies that have cleared up.
Clear skies don’t fit the political agenda - and science discounts Elohim; totally. science is very, very foolish.
