I live near Delaware Water Gap. We have not had significant rain in 6-8 weeks. We are in serious, serious drought. Never have seen the ground so dry in my 60+ years. I’ve been praying for a week or two of slow, light, steady rain. Not praying for just rain. We need a prolonged period of slow, steady, rain to soften the ground and prepare it for heavier rains later. If we get heavy rains prior to the ground softening, it would be a colossal disaster. Think landslides, trees uprooting, and topsoil washed away. Not to mention won’t do any good for the water table. Please pray, anons. Not just for me, but for all who get their water from the Delaware River basin.
500 more times powerful inland? Not sure where these statistics are coming from. As I understand it, most of the destruction happened because of dams being opened, and water overwhelming infrastructure, not because the storm was "powerful."
OK, I see that, but the storm STILL was not "more powerful" when it was inland. It sat in one spot and dumped a lot of rain, but it didn't become "more powerful." It did not jump from a Cat 4 to a Cat 5. It wasn't even a hurricane when it reached Appalachia. This kind of rhetoric is not helpful to those in need. We need to dial back the sensationalism, recognize where the issues are, and focus.
I am not new to weather research. You also have my condolences if you were adversely affected by the storm.
I have followed hurricanes especially for about 30 years. One thing I have noticed within the past 3-4 years is that news reporters, and even weathermen, are inaccurately confusing "sustained" with "gusts." This was especially notable with Helene and Milton. I question some of their claims with the category of hurricane assigned, when they confuse wind characteristics such as I described.
Helene was a Cat 4 when it made landfall, allegedly. I could not duplicate Cat 4 sustained wind speeds when watching real-time wind speed maps. The map I mostly use allows for the user to switch between sustained and gusts. When I switched to gusts, I could get 130-135 mph gusts in a very tiny area, but that is not within the categorization of a Cat 4 storm. I have noticed this phenomenon going back to Hurricane Katrina. I suspect that news services do this to whip up fear, getting more viewers.
When you have ground saturation from rainfall, shallow-rooted trees, as well as old, top-heavy trees, will topple easily. It doesn't take much wind to do this. If they are in a vulnerable location, especially a hillside, they will go. A tree with a wide trunk is not immune to toppling, especially if it has a large canopy. It's a combination of the weight in the air, how much wind the leaves catch, and the weakness of the soil and depth of the root ball. If an area has escaped heavy storms for a few years, you will have many, many trees "primed," and ready to go.
If trees actually snapped, that's usually evidence of a tornado. It takes much higher windspeeds to snap trees than from the kind of tropical storm you describe. Snapping a tree requires a "yank" or "twist," or a straightline wind higher than, say 130mph. Trees will also snap if they are diseased and have a weak spot, or a cavity carved out by woodpeckers, for example.
I'm not doubting that you did research. But if your sources are using flawed or fraudulent information to start with (i.e. "sustained" vs. "gusts"), then your conclusions will be inaccurate.
I took a look at the rainfall amounts from the different areas affected. There were some higher amounts, above 20" over a 72-hour period, and I agree, this is especially problematic in hilly terrain. But other areas had 10-12 inches over this time period, which we can get somewhat uncommonly here in Florida, maybe once a season. The soil here doesn't percolate well, and areas here can flood easily. I understand this phenomenon. As I understand it, most of the destruction was from water releases from reservoirs that overwhelmed the areas downstream in North Carolina.
In 2018, we took a direct hit from Hurricane Michael, which is largely ignored by the media. Hurricanes typically weaken as they approach landfall, but Michael, two hours from shore, was a Cat 2-3. When it made landfall, it was most definitely a Cat 5, with some calling it Cat "6". I have been through two other hurricanes, two weeks apart, which were Cat 3 storms. I can tell you, no joke, that we had sustained 140-145 mph winds at our home for two hours, 25 miles inland, and I don't doubt that there was 165-170mph sustained along the coast. There is no verification of these wind speeds, because all the weather stations were destroyed before the worst of the storm had hit. The last reading on one wind speed gauge at Tyndall AFB was over 200mph.
We were also brushed by an F2 tornado this past January, and had some roof damage. I'm intimately familiar with destructive wind storms.
Again, I'm glad you escaped the worst of the storm. I didn't mean to sidetrack your thread, and I will refrain from adding anything further. I originally read your OP wrong, and I apologize.
Logic absolutely dictates that it is possible because the weather is a system of pure physicality, it's an obviously observable system with easy to identify attributes. Just because your dogbrain doesn't know how to do it, doesn't mean it's impossible.
I know you don't understand the physics because you refuse to accept the truth that the physics your entire world view is based on is completely flawed ala particle physics aka Einstonian physics, Jewish physics. Now I know you're a jewish faggot that sucks baby dick, so I know you'll never accept the simple truth that Einstein stole his dogshit theories from the patent office, and they're completely flawed. Not to mention he went on to marry his 1st cousin like a typical weirdo jewish degenerate, and like to cross dress. That's the dude you dogbrained shitkicking physics world view is based on.
Since your understanding of physics is missing a major part of the equation you'll never be able to grasp the idea that weather is absolutely controllable, once you accept the basic truths that the earths magnetic field & electric fields can be manipulated to control the weather.

When Trump gets into office, he must definitely stop these attacks. The weather warfare and fire bombing.
Same thing recently happened to the Sahara Desert;
'a years worth of rain fell in just two days.'

OP didn't say it was "500 times more powerful." The post says "it got more powerful 500 miles inland". Reading is essential.
OK, I see that, but the storm STILL was not "more powerful" when it was inland. It sat in one spot and dumped a lot of rain, but it didn't become "more powerful." It did not jump from a Cat 4 to a Cat 5. It wasn't even a hurricane when it reached Appalachia. This kind of rhetoric is not helpful to those in need.

Snark duly noted.

these people are sick
They can't, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. The weather can absolutely 100% be controlled.
Hint: You can't prove it isn't true possible either, and logic dictates that it is indeed possible. Retard.

Hmmmm….could the freak storm 🌩️be something to do with this?: 🤔
Spanish PM calls on global community to impose arms embargo on Israel
On a separate note, imagine Haarping the The Three Gorges Dam 😬
Floods WW Hmmmm
Spain cancelled a shipment of arms to Israel and then this happened.
Just a cohensidence.
Also another cohensidence, Spain declared a ban on sales or purchases of weapons with Isreal.
But I’m sure it was global warming.
