Hurricane season is underway and the meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center are expecting it to be a heavy one. It is being predicted we may see up to five major hurricanes, storms with winds exceeding one hundred and eleven miles per hour, this year. The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene across so many states, including inland areas not normally concerned about hurricanes, highlights the importance of being prepared for all the risks - high winds, storm surge and heavy rain. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Michael Brennan, Ph.D., is the Director of NOAA's National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami, Florida, who says preparedness is the key and the NHC has some new technology that will help predict what to expect from a storm.

A big challenge during a hurricane or other disaster is keeping lines of communication open when the power goes out. In this episode, the second in our series tied to the 20th anniversary of hurricane Katrina, we report from the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans about a technology used in 2005, and still employed today, to provide vital information during a crisis. In our age of growing reliance on cellphones and funding cuts to federal agencies tasked with disaster communications, could ham radio be our last antenna standing during a chaotic catastrophe? “Hams” talk about their ability to keep information flowing during a storm. Meanwhile, a very recent technology, artificial intelligence, is playing a growing role in hurricane preparedness. Emergency responders tell us how they use AI to issue warnings, describe the limits of the technology, and why – and when – humans should step in.  Guests: Bobby Graves – Network manager for Hurricane Watch Net amateur radio.  His call sign is KB5HAV. Julio Ripoll – A coordinator and founder of the National Hurricane Center amateur radio station, WX4NHC in Miami, Florida where he has been a volunteer for 45 years.

Hurricane season is upon us, and the National Hurricane Center is predicting an above-average season. Preparations are starting, but cuts to both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency might impact hurricane forecasting and response. The Coastal Desk's Eva Tesfaye tells us what these changes will mean for hurricane response. The new novel “Blood Moon Over Bohemia,” offers a fictionalized account of a true story about the forced removal of a diverse community living in Plaquemines Parish in the 1920s. Written by New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Susan D. Mustafa and District Attorney Charles J. Ballay, the novel follows the lives of two families—one Black and one white—as they struggle to fight the corrupt New Orleans politicians who steal their land.The authors join us for more on their collaborative process and how their story relates to issues of forced migration today. The nonpartisan advocacy group Leaders for a Better Louisiana is calling on state lawmakers to restore funding that was cut from a tutoring program that is believed to have played a major role in recent historic improvements in education.

Since the first time Man planted a garden or fought a battle, weather has been vital to success and survival. The weather has famously decided wars. In some cases, weather has been the key factor in the rise and fall of whole Empires. Like many other contemporary real experts, today's guest, Jim Lee, is an independent researcher, in this case, into weather modification.   Why Weather Matters   George Washington avoided surrendering his army in the Battle of Long Island by deceiving the British about his movements and then withdrawing 9,000 men, supplies, and cannons overnight and into the next morning across the East River while a fog miraculously provided cover. If that Providential escape had failed, the War of Independence could have ended.   Napoleon attacked Imperial Russia as winter arrived and was soundly defeated by both poor planning and the vicious cold, decimating the French army, which had over 100,000 men captured, 380,000 dead, and only 27,000 returning to France.   Decades later, despite France's failure in 1812, Hitler's army tried attacking the Soviet Union during World War II and managed to hang on with brutal tactics until winter arrived and the Germans were soundly defeated. Many of the German survivors who managed to make it back to Germany alive were badly disfigured by frostbite, which had claimed noses, eyelids, fingers, and toes. The Germans also murdered over 1 million civilian Soviet Jews during the invasion. The German army troops captured over 5 million Soviet troops and deliberately starved over 3.3 million Soviet prisoners of war in brutal disregard for the established rules of war. Despite the most savage and determined fighting, the weather heavily influenced the failure of the German assault upon the Soviet Union.   Any effective military will invest whatever it can to predict, manage, and manipulate weather systems.   More recently, during the Vietnam War, the US seeded clouds over the Ho Chi Min trail in order to mire down enemy North Vietnamese soldiers from moving South.   Growing Concern About Abuses of Weather Control in the US   Many concerns have arisen that Earth's weather is being manipulated in ways harmful to the citizenry and the economy. The hurricane that hit the Hawaiian Island of Maui and the accompanying firestorm that devastated the town of Lahaina in 2023 with grave loss of life and destruction of the community appeared very suspicious. Hurricane Helene and then Milton chewed up Florida and demolished Southeastern Appalachia communities in North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. Have behaved in unusual ways and produced unusual and shockingly high amounts of damage and loss of life. Many citizens have questioned what aspects of the storms may have been “enhanced” or manipulated. The lack of official assistance being provided to survivors of these devastating events has understandably increased suspicion.   The federal government has done nothing to alleviate citizen concerns; instead, it has encouraged censorship through social media. The usual claims of conspiracy theory have been lobbed against anyone raising these questions, but as it turns out, citizens are asking very good questions.   Government Censorship   The federal government censors and curtails information and public discussion on subjects like weather manipulation. For a good review of the state of government censorship in the world today, listen to the Joe Rogan interview with Mike Benz that aired this month. The federal government funds, coordinates, and gives orders to its own branches and federal agencies and to non-government organizations (NGOs), nonprofits, universities, and others to censor and eliminate free speech. There are literally hundreds of thousands of hired individuals manipulating the truth as hired guns through traditional news outlets, social media, university outlets, book publishers, and scientific journals.   Weather Modification, Inc.   The absurdity of these government denials was recently highlighted by a photo of a plane on TikTok with a large corporate logo across its fuselage that said, “Weather Modification, International.” The Weather Modification International website was surprisingly empty, but when I checked the web archive for earlier versions, I found that their website started being stripped of data in early 2020. The 2019 archive offered a more robust introduction to the company. Turns out, Weather Modification Inc. has been operating since its founding in 1961 by two farmers/pilots. As of 2019, the company had grown to almost 40 aircraft and 100 personnel. Here is a screenshot of the 2019 “Who We Are” web page.     Weather Modification, Incorporated has been in business since 1961. Their current website declares:   “When most people look up they see clouds. WE SEE POTENTIAL.” About us: Now, more than ever, the worldwide need for solutions to atmospheric necessities such as water resource management and environmental quality monitoring, is critical. With nearly a half-century of successful programs, our experience speaks for itself.   Let us help you better manage your atmospheric and water resources.   In the archive, Weather Modification Inc. had a very robust and international list of governmental, military, academic, and private clients. The client list for the United States included the US Department of Defense (DOD), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Hurricane Center, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, several state cloud seeding or weather modification programs, and more. They also have a number of international government clients.   Our Guest Today, Jim Lee   Despite censorship and other barriers, some intrepid truth-tellers have been collecting and revealing the discovered facts and information concerning both the details of weather manipulation and how it has now been weaponized against U.S. citizens, against all moral and legal limitations.   One of these truth-tellers is today's guest, Jim Lee. He has devoted his work to “separating fact from fiction regarding geoengineering, pollution, privacy, and propaganda in an easy-to-understand way.”   Jim Lee has been gathering and sharing news regarding weather manipulation since 2012. He has gathered and published a collection of historical evidence and news about weather modification that I believe is unmatched anywhere else. His goals are to “enact changes in laws worldwide to bring transparency and accountability for weather modification and geoengineering experiments.” The interview with Jim Lee makes clear that there is nothing conspiratorial about weather modification except the government's attempts to hide it from the public.     His historical Weather Modification History internet collection of thousands of news articles going back more than 100 years is a masterpiece in organization and research. In addition to the screenshots of the media articles, each is linked to the full version of the article, offering an unprecedented review of the history of documented weather management and manipulation.   Lee's accompanying climate viewer maps website is his most remarkable feat, inviting visitors to explore weather issues in depth. His maps are gorgeous.   Jim Lee has directly addressed what he calls the “pseudoscience, fear-porn, clickbait, and the facts” surrounding Helene and Milton. He concludes that proving federal or any other attempts to modify the hurricanes cannot be done but that seeding with chemicals or mechanical devices is possible but there is no data to prove it in this case.   Jim Lee examines in detail on his website why radar or HAARP involvement is impossible, explaining:   First of all, HAARP was not on during either of these storms. If you want to learn more about HAARP and the three ionospheric heaters worldwide, check out my page on Space Weather Modification. You can tell when HAARP is on simply by checking HAM radio or WebSDR and tuning into 2.8 to 10 MHz. It was not.   That leaves NEXRAD Doppler radar, aka WSR-88D. Can a NEXRAD radar alter a hurricane? NO! Why? It's all about the numbers. NEXRAD can produce a peak of 750,000 watts with an average power of around 1300 watts. Let's compare that to a hurricane:   7,000,000,000,000,000 watts or joules/second. 7 quadrillion watts vs 750,000 watts. You do the math.   There is a great deal of old-fashioned weather modifications through seeding and chemtrails (pollution in the sky whether as a byproduct of exhaust or deliberately produced) that have resulted in changing conditions for some of our most fertile and fruitful farmlands turning them from abundant crop producers to wastelands. That alone–the loss of millions of acres of cropland—and the bounty they produce, is alarming enough to warrant our direct attention.   Were the recent hurricanes manipulated by seeding clouds in some way? Lee says, “There isn't evidence.” There are disagreements within the freedom network about this point, but Lee says he and colleagues looked for any airplane traffic, but there was none. So, unless there were undiscovered spy planes with their identifying transponders turned off, there was no manipulation.   There is confirmation of weather modification and manipulation that has now clearly been directed at our own United States citizens and their productivity. Our guest, Jim Lee, tells us about how these practices are used by governments, federal and sometimes state, as well as by private industries. Reasons for manipulating weather vary and include efforts to increase or decrease rainfall and water tables through snow melt and to encourage greater amounts of snow for ski season. Managing rainfall to perfect the growing and harvesting of crops is also attempted.   One of the most serious aspects of climate manipulation is the tolerance shown and lack of measurement of nanoparticles that are spewed into the upper atmosphere by global air traffic.   Listen to us today as we learn so much more about how heavily and capriciously our weather is manipulated, the risks this presents, and what we can do to protect ourselves and our world.   Jim Lee and his marvelous websites can all be found at Connect with ClimateViewer and Weather Modification History.

Managing rainfall to perfect the growing and harvesting of crops is also attempted.   One of the most serious aspects of climate manipulation is the tolerance shown and lack of measurement of nanoparticles that are spewed into the upper atmosphere by global air traffic.   Listen to us today as we learn so much more about how heavily and capriciously our weather is manipulated, the risks this presents, and what we can do to protect ourselves and our world.   Jim Lee and his marvelous websites can all be found at Connect with ClimateViewer and Weather Modification History.

The U.S. Atlantic hurricane season has changed. A recent study by Climate Central found that over the last six years, manmade warming amplified the average Atlantic hurricane's strength by as much as 18 miles per hour. For context: it only takes an increase of 16 miles per hour to advance a hurricane from "minimal" Category 1 to "major" Category 3 — but the difference in damage is 140 times greater. Evidence of such a potent connection between climate-warmed ocean temperatures and the energy of tropical cyclones has many meteorologists raising alarms.  In May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published their ‘most aggressive season outlook' ever, according to the Washington Post. The agency projected 17 to 25 named storms, up to 13 of which were likely to strengthen into hurricanes. Of those, it was predicted that four to seven would rank as Category 3 or above. With just a week left in the standard June-through-November hurricane season, the forecast has proven devastatingly accurate.  The southeastern portion of the Ten Across geography and north into Central Appalachia saw the greatest human and property loss this season from one Category 4 and two Category 5 storms that rolled into the Gulf Coast region.  This episode of the podcast discusses the greatest impacts from these events, as well as the advances that NOAA, the National Weather Service, and National Hurricane Center are making to limit harm from extreme weather as much as possible during both hurricane season and the rest of the year.  Listen in as Ten Across founder Duke Reiter talks with National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan and the National Weather Service's Southern Region Director Michael Coyne to explore the evolving responsibilities of meteorologic sciences and communications in a changing climate landscape. 

—Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — President-elect Trump is picking former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy for the role of transportation secretary.  Duffy served in the House from 2011 to 2019 and was a member of the Financial Services Committee.  He left the House in 2019 after one of his children had a heart condition, and currently hosts a show on Fox Business.   Two ---- A new state law is aiming to curb auto theft in Michigan.  Around the state, there were over 25-thousand vehicles stolen in 2023 and between 85-and-90-percent were stolen by thieves using Auto ProPad devices.  Those devices allow thieves to program a blank key to start a car. The new law took effect last month to make possessing a ProPad without a legitimate purpose punishable by five-years in prison, and ten-years if someone uses it to actually steal a vehicle.   And number three — Parts of Florida are expected to feel what's left of Tropical Storm Sara.  Remnants of Sara dissipated yesterday morning after bringing more than three-feet of rain to Honduras.  The National Hurricane Center says the storm could bring tropical moisture to the Sunshine State and the northern Gulf Coast on Wednesday.

(AURN News) — As Hurricane Milton bears down on Florida's west coast, the NOAA National Weather Service National Hurricane Center is warning of an elevated tornado threat across much of central and southern Florida. The National Hurricane Center reports that the tornado risk associated with Milton is greater than typically seen with most landfalling hurricanes. A tornado watch has been issued through 9 p.m. EDT Wednesday, covering a large area from Orlando south to Lake Okeechobee and extending across much of central and southern Florida. Multiple tornadic thunderstorms have already been observed. These tornado-producing storms are expected to advance northward with one tornado already confirmed. The elevated tornado threat comes in addition to the numerous other hazards posed by Hurricane Milton. As a powerful Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph, Milton is expected to bring devastating storm surge, destructive winds, and heavy rainfall to much of Florida. Residents in evacuation zones are urged to leave immediately and officials are asking for all Floridians to complete their storm preparations and be ready to shelter in place as Hurricane Milton approaches.

(AURN News) — Hurricane Milton, the powerful category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph, is rapidly approaching Florida's west coast, prompting urgent warnings from the NOAA National Weather Service Hurricane Center. As of 11 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, Milton was located approximately 190 miles southwest of Tampa, moving northeast at 17 mph. The National Hurricane Center reports that multiple life-threatening hazards are expected to impact much of Florida from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday. “Milton right now, a category 4 hurricane, still expected to be a major hurricane when it reaches the west coast of Florida late this evening or overnight, tonight, and maintain hurricane status all the way across the Florida peninsula and out into the western Atlantic during the day, on Thursday,” said National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan on Wednesday morning. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center are particularly concerned about the potential for devastating storm surge. A storm surge warning is in effect for almost the entire west coast of Florida. Areas from Anna Maria Island to Boca Grande could see 10 to 15 feet of inundation above ground level, while the Tampa Bay region may experience 8 to 12 feet of surge. The Hurricane Center strongly urges residents in storm surge evacuation zones to evacuate immediately, warning that some areas may become uninhabitable for an extended period due to structural damage and washed-out roads. In addition to the storm surge threat, Milton is expected to maintain major hurricane status as it makes landfall late Wednesday evening or overnight. Hurricane warnings are in effect for a large portion of central Florida, including Fort Myers, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Ocala, Orlando, Melbourne, and St. Augustine. Officials also caution that the storm will bring significant structural damage, widespread power outages, and impassable roads due to debris. Inland areas along the I-4 corridor are also expected to experience hurricane-force wind gusts. Heavy rainfall poses another significant threat, with 6 to 12 inches expected along and north of Milton's track, and isolated amounts of up to 18 inches possible. This could lead to widespread, life-threatening flooding, particularly along the I-4 corridor from Tampa to Orlando to Daytona Beach. As Milton approaches, residents are advised to stay informed through multiple channels, including wireless emergency alerts and battery-powered weather radios, to receive critical updates on flash flood and tornado warnings.

It's Thursday, September 26th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Russian soldiers destroyed 630 Ukrainian churches A report from Mission Eurasia and the Institute for Religious Freedom of Ukraine documents the destruction of churches in Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in 2022. The report found the war has destroyed at least 630 places of worship as of the end of last year. Over 200 of those were Evangelical properties. Russian attacks were responsible for most of the destruction. Russian soldiers also raided and shut down church services. The government claims that minority groups, like Evangelicals, can fall under the category of extremist activities. Ukrainian Pastor Sergey Nakul of Kyiv's Grace Reform Church has a simple and courageous message for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Listen. NAKUL: “Vladimir, repent! Repent of all of your evil deeds because you're not God.” Daniel 11:36 says, “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.” Russian to ban adoptions for people from transgender-affirming countries Speaking of Russia, the country is considering a ban on adoptions to countries that support transgenderism. Russia's lower parliament overwhelming supported the ban yesterday.  The measure applies to countries that allow so-called sex-change surgeries or for people to change their sex on official documents. Lawmakers said they want to preserve Russia's “traditional values.” They also want to protect Russian children from being adopted into western NATO countries where transgenderism is accepted.  8,000 Germans march for life Last Saturday, nearly 8,000 people gathered in German cities to support life. The National Association for the Right to Live organized the event. Germany currently allows abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, and the government's leftist coalition is pushing to relax abortion laws. Alexandra Linder, the President of Right to Live, said, “People have a sense of injustice. That's why they keep a very close eye on how politicians deal with people in threatening situations at the beginning and end of life. And they have shown what they expect from politicians with two large, life-affirming demonstrations.” Hurricane Helene hits Florida tonight In the United States, Floridians are bracing for Hurricane Helene to roar ashore today in  Florida's Gulf Coast, likely in the Big Bend region, as a Category 3 storm, reports AccuWeather. Hurricane Helene is still amassing strength over the Gulf of Mexico, and is moving northeast toward Florida with maximum sustained winds of 85 miles per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center.  Court: Biden Administration must pay $200,000 settlement in religious liberty case The Biden administration agreed to a $210,000 settlement in a religious freedom case. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, the Christian Employers Alliance sued the administration for violating their religious beliefs. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission wanted to force religious employers to provide health insurance coverage for transgender surgeries, procedures, and counseling. After the favorable court ruling, Shannon Royce, President of the Christian Employers Alliance said, “We are overjoyed our members will not have to choose between the Biblically-based employee benefits and quality healthcare they provide, and the threat of federal enforcement and massive costs for practicing their faith.”  Utah, Tennessee, Idaho and South Carolina ban indecent books  The Utah State Board of Education released its first list of banned books last month.  The state's Republican Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill back in March requiring public schools to remove a book if enough school districts found it contained indecent material. PARENT: “The parents of this nation have been awakened to what is going on in the public school system, and we're not backing down.” Tennessee, Idaho, and South Carolina have made similar moves to ban indecent material from public schools.  In Luke 17:1-2, Jesus said, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” GenZ less likely to read the Bible The American Bible Society released the latest chapter of its State of the Bible USA 2024 report about Gen Z. The group includes people aged 18 to 27. Members of Gen Z are less likely than older generations to interact regularly with the Bible. They are also more likely to struggle with fear and anxiety. However, Gen Zers who engage with Scripture do better. Only 11% of Gen Z is Scripture engaged, but those who are have much lower levels of anxiety even compared to older generations.  1 Peter 5:6-7 says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.”  Bill of Rights anniversary And finally, this week is the anniversary of the U.S. Bill of Rights. Congress approved articles of amendment to the U.S. Constitution on September 25, 1789. After approval by the states, the articles would become the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The First Amendment famously protects freedom of religion and freedom of speech. The Second Amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear arms. The amendments drew from English law to protect the rights of citizens and limit the power of government.

The state of Florida, along with the entire southeastern U.S, is bracing for the arrival of Hurricane Helene.By the time it makes landfall, the National Hurricane Center is predicting it will be a major storm with winds above 100 miles per hour. Forecasters are also predicting a deadly storm surge along Florida's Big Bend, where water levels could be as high as 20 feet, because of that, here could be dangerous flooding all along Florida's west coast, where my next guest lives. Since moving to Florida from Minnesota in the late 1980s, Cheryl Magnuson has been through several big storms. She talked with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer about preparing for this one.

Six weeks until election day and the presidential race is exceedingly close. Among likely voters nationwide, a new CNN poll finds 48% support Harris and 47% Trump, a margin that suggests no clear leader in the race. Plus, evacuations and preparations are underway in Florida ahead of Helene, which threatens to hit as the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the United States in over a year. Helene has strengthened this evening and now has winds of 60 mph, according to the 8 p.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Learn more about your ad choices.
