This photo on the Weather.com site states this is Harvey
hitting hard as a Category 4. Odd how the trees are not bending
or even laying flat.
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
First we have the Drudge Harvey reports.
Then the Lucianne Goldberg Harvey reports.
The National Hurricane Center says the eye of the Category 4 hurricane made landfall about
10 p.m. Friday about 30 mph east-northeast of Corpus Christi between Port Aransas and
Port O’Connor, Texas, bringing with it 130 mph sustained winds and flooding rains.

Then there is this official source.

If you bother to read the government data, Lucianne quoting fake news AP of 130 mph sustained winds, was 102 mph sustained winds.
I did not grab it quick enough, but I thought Drudge was posting 140 mph winds in more fake news.
Especially when once landfall occurred in this remote location the worst winds were 75 mph with gusts to 99 mph.
My interest is how a cloud becomes a mythical category 4 in 12 hours when Corpus Christi was in the low 80's. There simply is not enough heat energy to cause this kind of generation, nor enough cooling to cause this type of rapid transformation.
The Lame Cherry does not state that a storm is at Texas, it simply is pointing out anomalies which no one else will.
