Over the last week or two, there have been a LOT of major tornadoes, floods, fires, earthquakes, volcanoes, and major x class solar flares affecting major areas of the globe, some of them people have died in, and they're not being covered at all across old school media or print news emails or served up in people's newsfeeds on socials (unless you follow a lot of environmental, meteorologists, and storm chasers like I do.)

As in, people who are normally fairly well informed look at me like I'm crazy when I talk about the floods and severe storms (but not yet hurricane) in Miami, the blackouts across Portugal/Spain, the devastating floods in Maryland, the earthquakes that leveled major areas in Myanmar/India, the uncontained wildfire in northern Minnesota burning over 200k acres so far and 0% contained, the earthquakes in Kentucky and how seismologists are saying the fault line in Appalachia/New England is becoming active again in a way it hasn't been for over 150 years, major dust storms coming up from Oklahoma/Kansas blanketing all the way up to Chicago which hasn't been seen since dust bowl in the 1930s, the tornado that went through central St. Louis barely missing the zoo and you can see footage taken by the camera mounted on the Arch, the other deadly tornado that took out swathes of forests in Kentucky (but at least people around here now that there were 4 tornadoes through Dodge County alone on Thurs) , the volcanic eruptions in Indonesia forcing thousands to evacuate and redirecting major air traffic routes, the major droughts in UK and Ireland.... And that's just a very small fraction of things that should be major news stories and people just don't realize have happened in the last week or two..... Local near these events people seem to be getting some news about them, but they're not the major headlines that should be -- especially the Miami and Maryland floods, the wildfires across northern Minnesota (which is NOT known for wildfires) and the E3 tornado that ripped through St. Louis. You have to actively search now for "natural" disasters of weather and flood and fire and earthquakes to learn about these things.

It's like "if we don't report on the extreme weather, than the climate change isn't really happening" ostrich type behavior.  Which, given the fact that both El Nino and La Nina are stalled out AND the jet Stream is so week that the heat rising off the Gulf is stronger to push it around deform it AND the polar vortex has currently shifted WAY off the pole is sitting over Europe AND the Atlantic Conveyor Belt ocean currents are idling, this gets significantly worse before it gets better.  And I know the human created/perpetrated deaths and violence in Ukraine and Gaza and Kashmir/India/Pakistan and the deportations/illegal roundups within the US... But pay attention to how Mother Earth and Father Sky are speaking and the destruction that's come and coming and will come from it. Even if you have to look for it yourself. (Seriously though, 150 trapped in a kids school needing rescue in the flash floods in Maryland and an E3 barreling through St. Louis destroying thousands of homes leaving over 50k people without power over the weekend but everyone looking at me like I'm crazy slipped Universes when I bring it up. But just look up "Maryland floods" or "St. Louis tornado" and if you search for the events you will find it....it's just that people aren't being told it's happening unless you know to look for it.. And I have to assume it's intentional to not cover it or let people know unless it's local to them because it's happening across all media platforms, even international news sources, and social media platforms.....)

And there are supposedly MORE cuts coming to NOAA, which post-DOGE rampage is already running skeleton crew not able to predict accurately major storm systems that haven't been seen in any of our lifetimes. Soon, your phone apps and weather apps won't have the datasets to warn you in time before any of these major events. Which will just make everything more dangerous.

Just. Seek out the information -- because there's a lot of death and loss and people losing everything to extreme weather right now and it's hardly making any news outside the areas it is happening but it's going to be a huge problem in rising insurance costs and large groups of desperate hungry homeless populations with nothing left to lose and feeling forgotten by everyone else without hope. And that is always a recipe for socio-political disasters. FEMA isn't just because it's the right thing to do, it helps cap the potential for violence when people lose everything.... Especially if they feel like nobody cares about their losses/suffering.

Also. This is all pre hurricane season.... By hurricane season, especially with the waters around Florida already over 90F, it will be so much worse than now during tornado season.... I... I would not want anyone I loved living anywhere within the hurricane landing zones, not this year. Now with the weather systems so charged and volatile and the systems and analysts unable to get the data needed for accurate predictions even without the systematic destruction of the means to destroy dissemination of the warnings in a timely manner. If you choose to live east of Appalachian or anywhere along the Gulf during this hurricane season, expect that you will have no warnings of the hurricane barreling down on you and no accurate forecasts until too late to get to safety and even too late to prep for hunkering down trying to ride it out. You won't know until it's too late.... And don't ask what I've seen -- this year's tornado threats and their uner reporting and lack of earnings in time for people is nothing to what I've precogged coming during hurricane season.... 

P.S. Literally, the influencer Asta Darling (she makes historical clothing) posted to all her socials just now to have people call family/friends in Kansas to wake them up to head to shelter IMMEDIATELY because she was awake watching the alerts for herself in TN and her brother in MO about the storm system happening tonight and severe weather chasers were warning that the NOAA warnings and sirens weren't going off yet despite active tornadoes on the ground in Kansas..... Wild she's the one doing it because it's not coming through normal weather/news channels at all right now....
