popping of a dirty nuke, probably some place like Denver

That's the plot of the book version of 'The Sum of All Fears'. Muslim terrorists nuke the Super Bowl in Denver.

The Gulf is now the hottest it’s been in the modern record, according to Brian McNoldy, a climatologist at the University of Miami,

The Gulf, and the North Atlantic ocean more broadly, are unusually hot. That much is clear. But there’s also a strange blob of colder water around the equator, which has spurred conflicting, confusing headlines that suggest the Atlantic is cooling.

🤔🤔🤔 They moved the heat??

Milton is not the typical Atlantic hurricane, according to Jonathan Lin, an atmospheric scientist at Cornell University. “It is exceedingly rare for a hurricane to form in the western Gulf, track eastward, and make landfall on the Western coast of Florida,” he said in an email. “There are not really any hurricanes on record that have done this and made landfall at a Category 3+ status.”

What’s even more unusual is how quickly the storm intensified, defying forecasts and gaining more than 100 miles per hour in wind speed between Sunday morning and early Monday afternoon. Milton had “some of the most explosive intensification this forecaster has ever witnessed!” a National Weather Service forecaster wrote on X Monday.

I think this authorizes governors to use troops in disasters.

A statute directly applicable to disaster relief, such as following hurricanes Katrina and Rita, is the Stafford Act, which authorizes the use of active duty personnel either upon the request of a governor or by the president's own call when he believes the primary responsibility for dealing with an emergency of national significance lies with the federal government.

Smokescreen? Is NYNG just sitting around on some tarmac waiting for Cooper to get his thumbs out of his ass?

Major General Ray Shields said, “At the direction of Governor Hochul, the men and women of the 42nd Infantry Division's Combat Aviation Brigade quickly responded, in less than 24 hours,** when the North Carolina National Guard asked for assistance for storm relief**. Our Soldiers responded by sending three CH-47 heavy lift helicopters and their crews and maintenance team. We are always ready and always there, be it in a combat zone, here at home in New York, or in another state. I am very proud of our service members who never fail to respond when called."

Back in 2012, there were reports of entire precincts in the city that didn’t cast a single vote for Mitt Romney.
