Made it through Francine okay, but no electricity is a killer. ☹️

No power, 100 mph winds, heavy rain.

My hurricane reading.

1 hour away from the hurricane being more or less on top of me.

Somehow still have power when normally light showers can knock that shit out for 2-3 hours.

They’ve canceled class tomorrow but I’m hoping the wind will shift so the tropical storm doesn’t hit where I live. I just want it to dissipate.

I’ll keep you guys updated. Hopefully I don’t lose power.

Ilana Berger at MMFA:

Daily Wire hosts Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro falsely claimed that the U.S. has not been impacted by hurricanes this season, as the Gulf Coast braces for Hurricane Francine.  On September 9 on The Matt Walsh Show, Walsh said that there were “no hurricanes” this season, and that meteorologists who have warned the public about a potentially severe Atlantic hurricane season are “rooting for deadly storms to devastate your community.” Misleadingly citing a September 8 Washington Post article, Walsh said, “A funny thing happened during the historic hurricane season, and that is nothing. Nothing happened. There were basically, like — there were no hurricanes.” The next day, on September 10, Shapiro said on The Ben Shapiro Show of the impact of hurricanes: “As a Floridian, as a new Floridian, nothing. I mean, really nothing. … And it actually has been quite a light season, actually. There's never even really been sort of a threat to our side of Florida.” He added that, “There was one hurricane that hit to the Panhandle of Florida a little bit earlier on in the summer, and that was it.”

The idea that it has been a “light season” is false, even if storms have not been as frequent as predicted. On July 8, Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Texas, and knocked out power to 2.5 million homes. Beryl was the earliest forming Category 5 hurricane on record. The storm completely devastated the Caribbean islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique and killed 42 people in Texas alone, and more across the Yucatán Peninsula and the Caribbean. Hurricane Debby, which Shapiro dismissed, affected Florida and other eastern states in early August, and killed at least 8 people. Louisiana is currently bracing for Hurricane Francine to make landfall on the coast. According to Forbes, the 2024 season has so far been typical, not “light.”

Both Walsh and Shapiro used the false claim to insist that the theory of climate change must not be sound or settled science. In reality, scientists are in agreement that the warming climate has been driving more severe hurricanes, particularly because of increasingly dangerous flooding.  

Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh push climate denialist propaganda by falsely claiming that no hurricanes have hit the USA.

So far this North Atlantic hurricane season, at least three have struck somewhere in the USA (Beryl, Debby, and now Francine).

Hurricane Update: we’re about to get the fun stuff soon! We’re here riding the storm out, and I’ll keep y’all updated as much as I can, but we are very likely to have power outages as well, so if I don’t get to post later, that’ll be why.

Love you all, and have a good day everyone! 🌀💖
