The 12Z DeepMind run is even faster and more intense. As many have pointed out, a faster storm puts it in a more favorable jet configuration for intensification. A lot of the jet energy is still out West and isn’t well sampled due to the lack of NWS balloon launches this morning.

12Z google DeepMind for 92L shows a faster landfall that mostly occurs Friday evening. Many more members show a peak intensity well before landfall as a major hurricane as well.

Yes, that’s wrong. The Soviets also did that as they marched to Berlin. The U.S. also has a history of injuries in the Philippines or Latin America. But I don’t think that’s on the same level of evil as the Holocaust, Babi Yar, the Battan Death March, the grape of Nanking, or the Seige of Leningrad.

I brought up WWII because another poster was saying because I’m not Jewish, I’m not allowed to criticize Isreal, but that’s like saying an American in 1941 isn’t allowed to criticize Germany or Japan because they don’t have German or Japanese heritage. It was an analogy df

My ancestors came from mainly Italy and Soviet Ukraine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Even if my distance ansectors were slave owners, that doesn’t mean it was my fault and that doesn’t mean I can’t criticize injustices in other countries.
