About The Author
anatomy of a monster cat five hurricane
Hurricane Milton 🌀
Anyone here after Milton just made landfall?
Better remake this with milton
no one is gonna convince me that hurricanes are not living creatures these things got a mind of there own
Crybabies, stop whining, or I'll give you something to really cry about.
That storm was HUGE,jesus..
I just hope they won't name the hurricane/typhoon after me. My heart just goes out to the people who lives across its path.
Nah there just man made
Once again I say this; Someone playing god.
Just to split people, rising sickness, poverty, maybe war soon.
and then they come with some solution which will not be only good
Gonzalez Mark Gonzalez Michael Johnson Anthony
This would have been SO much better without the sing song narrative Please invest in an AI to read for your videos!
Pam
wait til they hear about milton doing that in 18
Climate change propaganda.
The disclaimer google puts under the video is crap. Human activities cannot be proven to contribute to climate change
Y'all see what Milton did?
I wanna see a hypercane
Typhoon haiyan: 🤫🧏
5:50 70B dollars in repair, to take that into contrast,
America is the only country that has a high military budget, at
807B, china has circa 22B…… there is no country
Besides amaerica that spends more then this hurricane costs
A year, damn
Bill gates is why
Here we are with storm Muhammed in England, devastating
Me
water vapor over warm water rising, drawing in colder dry air, the other process is (super) saturated water vapor condenses into clouds
It's the mainstream media which causes the worst hurricanes. They label a category 3 hurricane as a life ender extinction level event hype and then nothing happens.
Rapid intensification is becoming the normal thing for hurricanes to do
Where'e my mi numbers, yo?!
Here for all the people saying the government
Here after milton went from a tropical storm to category 5 in 16 hours
I was in the eye of Helene
I think it's about time we quit naming these monsters cute names like "Freddy" or "Tip" …. "Gargantua" and "Leviathan" and "Apocalypse"
A lower pressure will also help to evaporate water. 73% of the atmospheric pressure at sea level is no joke.
I live in Asheville and one of these things fucked is up big time
Add Milton
Why kilometers in America is miles 🫤
In wpac is not called hurricane
Hurricane "Alpha" … and "Beta" .. yall need to get more serious with these.. monster THINGYS.
Like.. "Yourworstnightmare" And.. "Crazydestroyingstuffthing" Srsly though
It is because USA politics and media people produce so much hot air. From "why is this so in 2024"
The hurricane in thumbnail looks like Milton…
