Storms 2016 Political and Weather A Starter Kit Part 1 of… Trump vs Hurricane #Matthew
by dtlange
As it stands, at this writing, in November 2016, the United States is set to elect a new president from either the Republican or Democratic political parties. The Republicans, or GOP, notorious for denying, and furthering, human caused climate change chaos is to be represented by a Donald John Trump. The Democrats, handmaidens to decades of climate change inaction, offer Hillary Rodham Clinton.
– The Trump maw has many in the GOP in a political/ethical/moral quandary such as Arizona’s Senator John McCain.
– “There are no excuses for Donald Trump’s offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior,” McCain said. | AP Photo
How McCain finally decided he couldn’t stomach Trump anymore
Donald Trump criticized John McCain last year for being a prisoner of war and for not doing enough for veterans, then attacked a Gold Star family this summer. McCain criticized Trump at each turn, but stuck by his pledges to support the Republican nominee.
But 24 hours after audio surfaced of Trump demeaning women and making lewd comments about them, the 2008 Republican nominee decided he’d finally had enough.
The Arizona Republican said in a statement to POLITICO, later blasted out to the national media, that he simply can no longer stand behind his party’s standard-bearer. He used similar language on Saturday to that of Vice President Joe Biden, who said Trump’s comments of groping women amounted to “sexual assault.”

Navy plans to identify threat of sea level rise in Hampton Roads and how flooding affects areas around a base
NORFOLK
When a storm strikes Hampton Roads, streets routinely flood and many military personnel have trouble leaving their homes, much less getting to base.
That’s a problem for the Navy, which expects most sailors to live off base and depends heavily on local infrastructure to support its mission.
It’s also a problem that’s expected to grow as sea levels continue to rise, exposing more areas to storm surges, making roads impassable more frequently and potentially damaging critical infrastructure such as communications and utilities.
The Navy is now embarking on a first-of-its-kind study with Virginia Beach and Norfolk that focuses on sea level rise, erosion and recurrent flooding in each city outside a base’s footprint to determine how it affects the Navy and how it can be addressed.

– Re the above severe storm Tweet here is Zack Labe’s reply to me after I sent it to him:
– Also this type of storm in this area is one of concern. Besides this N Pac as a door to Arctic — there is also the NW Atlantic Iceland/Greenland storm areas as another doorway to Arctic and all in between.

– As already happened in Haiti and other locales, extreme downpours from #Matthew have caused massive amounts of soil and freshwater to runoff and head out into the ocean and nearby underwater shorelines.
