Warning: High windy alert. The political conspiracy explanation for Florida hurricanes

Warning: High windy alert. The political conspiracy explanation for Florida hurricanes
Frank Cerabino, Palm Beach Post,11/27/2022

Now that the hurricane season is wrapping up, we here in Florida need to assess the risks going forward.

I’m going to turn this discussion over to DeAnna Lorraine and Lauren Witzke. Both women were unsuccessful candidates for U.S. Congress in 2020 and both have postulated that Hurricane Ian, the hurricane that devastated parts of Southwest Florida in September, was a “deep state” secret attack on the state that had more to do with the political enemies of Gov. Ron DeSantis than with natural weather patterns.

Stay with me. This is going to get deep.

“These huge hurricanes always seem to target red states, red districts, and always at a convenient time — typically right before elections, or in this case, possibly, because Ron DeSantis has been stepping out of line a lot and challenging and fighting the Deep State,” Lorraine said on her “Shots Fired” web show.


Deep dive into some Q madness. No paywall.

You’d think we could do a little thing like Medicare for all, as powerful as we are, sarcasm

Wow, just wow. I keep thinking they will finally “insane” themselves into silence. So far I don’t think we are even close. Now that is an insane thought. Good grief.

After the election I decided to put politics behind for a while and do some science topic exploration.

Then I run into this - Wow - people like that should be put in stocks in town courtyards and derided constantly.

The 2004 presidential election. Florida was supposed to be at least purple after Bush won it in 2000 by only 537 votes - of course not factoring in the Palm Beach county butterfly ballot and Roger Stone's rat faqing chad antics. However, Bush won Florida in 2004 by 5%. This was right after 4 hurricanes hit the state. Religious folks I know told me "God sent the hurricanes so that Bush could win re-election."

Charlie Crist lost the governor's race on Oct 19, 2022, the day the Sanibel Causeway re-opened - thus saith The Lord!
