    This is going to be a storm to remember

    The great Blizzard of 2026– days ago this storm was sailing out to sea without harming anything but fish.. as the week drew to a close, we began to see we were about to continue our toxic relationship with the Winter of 2026..

    This time red flashing lights of blizzard warnings are gracing New York City, the state of New Jersey, and parts of Pennsylvania.. warnings are pink .. people are miserable.

    And as this storm begins to crank up and bomb out, the snowicane will feature 80 mile per hour gusts to create blizzard conditions..

    If there was a storm of the century so far this may be it — enough to bring about the likes of Andre Linoge? That is yet to be seen. But born in sin, come on in..

    For posterity.. here is the Blizzard Warning for New York City–something that is rare…

    ...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 6
    PM EST MONDAY...

    * WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations
    between 16 and 24 inches. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph.

    * WHERE...Portions of southern Connecticut and southeast New York.

    * WHEN...From 1 PM this afternoon to 6 PM EST Monday.

    * IMPACTS...Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and
    blowing snow. Whiteout conditions are expected and will make
    travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening. The strong
    winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and
    could cause sporadic power outages. Travel could be very difficult
    to impossible. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce
    visibility. The hazardous conditions will impact the Monday
    morning and evening commutes.

    * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heaviest snow and strongest winds are
    expected tonight into Monday.
  • Jamaica struggles as hurricane Melissa decimates

    Jamaica struggles as hurricane Melissa decimates

    This is what Public Accounts are saying is happening right now on the lost island of Jamaica.

    Hospitals across Jamaica have been devastated as Hurricane Melissa tears through the island with Category 5 strength. First responders are calling the situation “beyond critical.”

    In St. Elizabeth Parish, the Black River Hospital suffered roof collapses and power loss, forcing staff to evacuate patients as floodwaters rose. Health Minister Christopher Tufton confirmed that at least four major hospitals have sustained severe structural damage, while others operate on emergency power.

    Doctors and nurses are working in darkness, using flashlights to treat patients as fuel, oxygen, and supplies run low. Rescue efforts remain stalled by blocked roads and widespread power outages that have left more than half a million Jamaicans without electricity. Officials warn that the country’s health system is nearing collapse as Hurricane Melissa continues to unleash catastrophic winds and flooding across the island.

    This is a developing situation

  • May God have mercy on Jamaica

    May God have mercy on Jamaica

    Jamaica is now feeling the full fury of Hurricane Melissa. This is one of the most powerful storms the island has ever faced—and very likely the strongest of 2025. The eye has crossed onto land, and what is unfolding will be etched into the record books.

    Wind-speeds have surged into the 175 mph range, with reconnaissance aircraft recording values near 185 mph and a central pressure dropping to 892 millibars—figures that place Melissa among the strongest Atlantic hurricanes ever documented.

    What happens now is waiting — and enduring. The eye has taken hold: the damage is being done right now. This is a long-duration event. The storm’s force, its rains, surge, and winds will leave a mark long after its passage. Homes will be flattened, people displaced, infrastructure gutted. Many lives will be forever changed.

    If you’re reading this while the storm is underway: stop what you’re doing, offer a prayer for Jamaica. The island is going through a life-changing event. It will never be the same.

  • Melissa goes nuclear

    Melissa goes nuclear

    This is developing: MELISSA IS NOW ONE OF THE STRONGEST HURRICANES EVER RECORDED IN THE ATLANTIC BASIN.

    The new 2PM update now has sustained winds of 175 mph and gusts approaching 220 mph. Pressure now down to 906 mb.

    Catastrophic impacts coming to the Island of Jamaica later tonight.

    May God have mercy on Jamaica

    More .. updated..

    …241 MPH WIND GUST! One of the strongest wind gusts ever recorded in a hurricane was just measured by hurricane hunters who continue to fly through Melissa tonight. This extreme wind gust was recorded approximately 700 feet above the ocean’s surface; this phenomenon is absolutely terrifying…

  • Frightening weather warning issued as Melissa strengthens

    Frightening weather warning issued as Melissa strengthens

    We are about (again) to witness weather history..

    The National Hurricane Center warned on Saturday, “Melissa is still expected to make landfall in Jamaica as an upper-end Category 4 hurricane, which could be the strongest direct landfall for the island since tropical cyclone record keeping has been made in the Atlantic Basin.”

    While Melissa could make landfall as a high-end Category 4 storm or even a Category 5, the practical difference between the two is minimal.

    There will be catastrophic winds, rainfall, mudslides and impacts from Melissa, regardless of whether the storm strikes as a Category 4 or 5.

    Anyone who did not leave Jamaica now cannot.. the window has closed..

    Just look at this nightmare as it spins..

    Earlier Sunday, Minister of Local Government Desmond McKenzie urged residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas to evacuate immediately.

    Speaking ahead of the storm, he warned that many communities may not survive the expected flooding. “It is going to be impossible for us, after all the attempts that we have been making…for us to say to our first responders ‘go out and risk your life,’” McKenzie said.

    We are praying and hoping.. but we are fearing we will see some really awful news events coming out of Jamaica in the next several hours and upcoming days and weeks..

    Especially when you see a story like this: ONE SOLE PERSON leaving an Port Royal as the residents chose to stay back and weather the storm.. May God have mercy on their souls..

    More..

    Strong wording from the National Hurricane Center for Jamaica ahead of Hurricane Melissa:

    “Do not venture out of your safe shelter. Catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding and numerous landslides are likely today through Tuesday. Destructive winds, especially in the mountains, will begin by this evening, leading to extensive infrastructural damage, long-lasting power and communication outages, and isolated communities. Life-threatening storm surge and
    damaging waves are expected along the southern coast through Tuesday.”

  • Hurricane Melissa shock: Strengthens from tropical storm to major hurricane in hours

    Hurricane Melissa shock: Strengthens from tropical storm to major hurricane in hours

    In just 18 hours Melissa has rapidly intensified from a 70 MPH Tropical Storm to a 140 MPH Cat. 4 hurricane–at least at the time this is written. It is undoubtedly going to zoom to a Cat. 5 before landfall in Jamaica Tuesday morning.

    It is also being predicted that it will be the worst Jamaica has ever experienced..

    It would appear that the worst of the fearful predictions are coming true..

    Sustained winds of 170+ and gust of 200+ MPH are possible at maximum if it continues at this rate. The highest sustained wind speed ever recorded in the Atlantic basin was 190 MPH from Hurricane Allen in 1980.

    Watching this storm in motion is frightening..

    Where does she go from here?
    There are models now coming together..

    THIS IS DEVELOPING..

  • Hurricane Melissa to explode in strength

    Hurricane Melissa to explode in strength

    This looks too br a recipe for a disaster over certain parts of the CARRIBEAN…

    Tropical Storm Melissa is forecast to rapily intensify into a major hurricane this weekend as it lashes Jamaica and parts of the northern Caribbean, bringing days of life-threatening, potentially catastrophic impact.

    More..

    Jamaica looks to be the epicenter for the worst of Melissa’s triple threat of extreme rainfall flooding, wind damage and storm surge. Melissa could make landfall on Jamaica late Monday or early Tuesday. Haiti also continues to be in thick of Melissa’s destructive flood and landslide threats.

  • Don’t go West Erin!!

    Don’t go West Erin!!

    Hurricane Erin has taken a few turns that have now created a much more dramatic situation for the coastline—reaching all the way up into the Mid-Atlantic and even New York City.

    Storm surge is now expected for New York Harbor, Raritan Bay, the waters around Staten Island, the entire Jersey Shore, all of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina’s coastlines, as well as the northern half of South Carolina’s coastline.

    For days, official storm trackers maintained that Erin would remain safely offshore. But many amateur forecasters began noticing a subtle westward trend several days ago. That trend has continued. While the storm is still expected to stay mostly out to sea, portions of the East Coast will now face impacts that simply weren’t predicted earlier in the week.

  • Erin the beast

    Erin the beast

    Hurricane Erin on Saturday strengthened into a fearsome Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 160 mph as the storm traveled west over the Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center.

    And 200 mph gusts…

    This could go down in history as one of the strongest storms ever in the Atlantic. At this point, there are some observations of a slight wobble to the south and west, and that needs to be monitored pretty closely because the track still has the storm quickly taking a sharp northern turn and out to sea, avoiding all land and Bermuda. Let’s hope the fish enjoy Hurricane Erin, and we don’t.

    In the meantime, any deviation to the path could create obstacles for landfall or at least beaches. But let’s hope the current track stays exactly like it is, and we don’t have to worry about Hurricane Erin making its own weather pattern due to its strength. Everyone will be watching this one closely.

    And if nothing happens, as we predict it will not based off of the current forecasts, it does offer a cautionary tale. Hurricanes are very strong this time of year in a very hot Atlantic Ocean, and this could portend trouble eventually for the Northeast—areas that have not seen the impacts of a Category 4 or 5 storm in our lifetime.

  • Flood summer 2025

    Flood summer 2025

    The summer of 2025 has been anything but normal. A map drenched in deep green tells the story: this has truly been the year of rain.

    With nearly 3,100 flash flood warnings issued so far, 2025 now holds the record for the most flash flood warnings ever issued year-to-date in the history of the National Weather Service. Let that sink in.

    From East Texas to Western Kentucky to New Jersey, the scenes have been heartbreaking with destructive flash floods, roads ripped apart, homes lost, and lives changed in moments..

    It’s not just flash flooding either. We’ve seen rivers rise 20 feet in under an hour. Towns and rural regions that have never seen water like this are going under, some for the first time ever.

    We feel it. We know something is different. Now, the data is finally catching up with our instincts.

    This isn’t normal. And whatever this is… it’s only just beginning.
