A recent key story from Scientific American explains how Hurricane Ida got so big so fast, saying that “An eddy in the Gulf of Mexico and heavy vapor played key roles.” Really? Seems wildly improbable to me. Is this theory correct? Also, hurricane watchers were greatly surprised by how Hurricane Ida pushed so far inland, as historically, hurricanes were observed to greatly weaken upon making landfall. What was different this time?

This theory is essentially hand-waving. Pity the environmental scientist asked to explain the many imponderables and the many vagaries and inconsistencies in behavior of what are truly chaotic systems to begin with. It is such phenomena that spawned the very notion of Chaos Theory as a way to come to grips intellectually with phenomena that seem so idiosyncratic in not following natural laws that can be discerned to be in play, measured, and understood. So scientists have a long track record of fitting the data into theory—that leads to bad science in many cases because the theories are merely suppositions and, because they may have some relationship in at least being a consistent feature, even the smartest humans will accept the theory as fact because it is logically consistent as far as it goes, but mainly because the pattern it predicts fits the data. So here you have an instance where suddenly, there is a storm departing from the dogma, so the scientists must find some kind of words to provide the semblance of an answer to satisfy the media if not truly one another in a deep and satisfying way. So you will see many such pronouncements that are truly just conjectures, all within the false framework storms are natural so there must be a natural process linkable to natural law behind it. So there is an endless search for the hidden variables that give rise to an anomaly when something does not fit, unexpectedly. Because this happens with regularity, it is simply assumed to be part of nature itself and hence the support for continued research looking for more and more clues that eventually could explain the mysteries and help in further predicting, in this case, weather behavior as it can be lifesaving in warning people to perhaps evacuate rather than hunker down and then take a beating. So there were two large anomalies with this particular hurricane—the first being a rapid intensification prior to making landfall; the second was a departure from the expected pattern of lessening in severity of such a storm, once it makes landfall. Storms are supposed to peter out and perhaps continue as more ordinary weather systems of winds and rain, perhaps for hundreds or even thousands of miles, but no longer with hurricane‑force winds, so it can be a minor nuisance and not life-threatening at least. In the case of Hurricane Ida, the high winds were retained as it went deeper and deeper inland and this brought about huge property damage, power outages, and much more widespread flooding from the combination of negative influences. Scientists will always offer some explanation because that is their job and they have their reputations to maintain and they are, after all, the recognized experts. But none of this has to do with climate change to begin with, preexisting water temperature and currents in the Gulf of Mexico, and so on. There was storm weather present and that was the starting point used by extraterrestrials to ramp it up to hurricane level ferocity. They chose where and when to unleash the devil, so to speak, to turn this into a full-blown high force hurricane, and then to keep it going an inordinate length of time so that even by the time it reached the East Coast, there was huge damage and flooding from the torrential rains that it brought. None of this is natural. It is not due to fossil fuel consumption or global warming. It is alien technology and has nothing to do with the Sun or the Earth’s weather systems. It is imposing their evil designs on the world under the camouflage of tropical storms so they can do their mischief and make people believe it is just the hazards of Earth life, when in fact the opposite is the case.
