Arrogant Hurricane stats
praise_yeshua > 09-06-2017, 01:03 PM
I've got this "pet peeve".... I absolutely hate when people exaggerate what they know.
In fact, I believe God Himself has a problem with this common trait found in humanity. If you study the life of Job, a far better person than myself, Job thought he knew some things about God. He ended up realizing that he didn't know nearly as much as he thought or said he knew.
Job 42:3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
One of the essential steps in maturity is realizing you don't know nearly as much as you think you know. Children always think they know everything. In fact, just ask one. See what they tell you.
Okay.... back to the Hurricane
When I hear people, even the President, say that Irma is the largest Hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic.... I just want to scream.
Do you realize we have essential no historical data for Hurricanes much older than 100 years? I mean geesh...... planes didn't even exist to fly into the storms with measure devices to record speed and barometric pressure....
So we have the nerve to claim we really know something when we only have a very small sample of data to justify such claims?
What arrogant mumbo jumbo....
Rant off....

Ha, Ha. I actually understand the intent of your post, but in reality, the statement is true. The key is in the words "ever recorded". LOL
Having said that, I ask for prayers, because I live on the east coast of Central Florida, on the peninsula side of where our barrier islands jut out into the Atlantic (the triangle). It's really too soon to tell for sure what impacts my city will face, but we are in the "cone of uncertainty". We are boarding up and have made plans to evacuate on Saturday if things don't vastly improve. I'm praying for an end to the western movement, a sharp north turn, and an eastern track back out to sea. -

I realize they say "ever recorded" but even then, they arrogantly assume modern records are the only stats compiled. Who knows what ancient peoples knew BEFORE we built this "advanced culture" we marvel at.... Ancient knowledge has long been lost to history. Many advanced cultures have existed on this earth and we have very little left of them to judge.
Either way, I'll certainly pray for you and your area! I appreciate you inf. God protect and Keep you safe, always! -

Yes, ancient knowledge has been so lost to history that some people think that ancient monumental structures, like the pyramids, were build by aliens. LOL
BTW, I think Georgio has awesome hair. But he should use a brush regularly.

i agree.... ancients knew far more than most people in this age give them credit for...... that is proven over and over all the time.. by new archeaological discoveries, to which the modern media and hollywood elites pass off with a .. "oh that;s nice".... and then return to applauding themselves for being the people who can "save the planet"... while denouncing anyone who disagrees with them as an enemy of planet earth....... .. . ......
and yet..... irma is the most powerful hurricane ever recorded with modern instruments and methods...... but the archeaological record does show evidence that storms much powerful may have occured in the past.... ... but admitting to that would rob the liberal news media and celebrity elites of the opportunity to blame the hurricane on global warming, and to blame that on president trump... ....... .
but either way..... we are praying the hurricane takes a sharp turn to the north and misses the u.s. mainland altogether...... still..... that could put the bahamas square in the path of it...... a series of islands populated by people who are not only very poor... living in substandard structures.... but have nowhere to evacuate to should the storm come at them...... ... unless the strongest winds manage to walk what is now a tightrope between florida and the bahamas and weaken significantly along the way...... ... a direct hit of irma on the bahamas could possibly kill more people than a direct on florida might do.... where most have had the opportunity to evacuate and might have much better shelter available..... ..hopefully neither one will happen and irma will fizzle out.... ...i know it;s a long shot..... ... but anything is possible......
we are praying for you and your family lnf .... hopefully you are already on your way to safety...... God bless you my friend..... -

there is another kind of arrogance related to this hurricane that is really starting to bother me... ... the actions and comments of the news reporters on the ground... ..... have you seen them?........ ...i hate to keep talking trash about the news media but these guys have got to be the epitome of both arrogance and stupidity.... ... they are standing right in the middle of the mandatory storm evacuation areas.... in the middle of streets in most cases ..... wearing their baseball hats and rain soaked windbreakers - yammering away with microphones in their hands talking about how stupid other people are who refused to evacuate those same areas and flee from the storm... ....one guy even commented on the stupidity of a driver who was driving his car down a partially flooded street to higher ground...as he begrudgingly moved aside from the middle of the street so the car could get by...... .. ... in addition to the usual attitudes of elitism they normally display they are also acting as if they think their press credentials will somehow be respected by a category 5 storm - much in the same way police and u.s. security officals are bullied into respecting those credentials and forced to allow them to go walking into the midst of cleared areas and war zones yammering away on the mirocphones then too as if their press badge is some kind of golden ticket or magic armor... ......
but what is worse is the bad example they set for others who see them out there and decide that if it;s safe for the news reporters to be standing in the middle of a flooded street with little more than a rainjacket on then surely it;s safe for them to remain in town secure in their home or even drive on those streets with their windows rolled up......... .... in the past they have done the same thing here during tsunami alerts ..(and occasionally still do even after what they saw happened in japan).... standing on or near the beaches as the zero moment approaches - when scientists forcast that a wall of water travelling in excess of 200 miles per hour could possibly hit the beach... all te while yammering away about how silly other residents of the island are that did not go to high ground as directed.... i have even heard them say they are prepared to run if they see it coming.... totally ignoring the advice of experts who say if you are on the beach when you see it coming then it;s already too late..
just one more example in my opinion of how stupid and out of touch with reality the u.s. news media has become............ one day a sizeable tsunami will actually hit honolulu.... and when it does i predict a whole lot of jobs will suddenly open up for on the street news reporters..... .. .but hey.... the live coverage will be awesome.... provided you are safely tucked away in a house on high ground watching it..... ... -

I agree with you, aleshanee. I've never understood the "wisdom" of sending weather reporters into the storm. It's not enough to just tell us about it? Goodness!
We survived Irma with minimal damage, and none to the 2 homes on my property. The electricity is out, but we have a generator. Others in our state were not so blessed. Lots of property damage, but thank God, minimal loss of life has been reported.
What I find amazing is that even though Irma traveled the length of our state, it is still packing 60 MPH winds. As of 2 pm, it was on the FL/GA line as a mid-level tropical storm. -

glad you are all ok.... .... and also glad you have a fueled generator... that has to be worth it;s weight in gold at times like this......
i watched some of the coverage of the storm until i just couldn;t stomach the antics of the reporters any more.... then i went surfing..... the final straw was when they were standing out in the open talking about how a curfew was in effect at that moment.. ...... really?...... a curfew?........ then what was were they doing out on the street in the middle of the wind and the rain?....... police, fire and ems were not even out there.....
i get really tired of hearing them arrogantly refer to themselves as the "fourth estate" .....like they think they are a duly elected branch of the federal government or something.... or at the very least appointed and answerable to elected officials.... some of them are just arrogant enough to really believe they are the gaurdians of truth and freedom.... ... .... but in fact they are nothing but elitist snobs...... flagrantly violating standards and orders intended to promote safety then berating members of the general public for doing the same...... but with the availability of remote traffic cameras and the capability to install any camera they want in potentially dangerous locations long before the danger actually arrives and access it via sattelite, there really is no need for any news reporter to be standing out in the midst of a hurricane yammering away on a microphone .... ..... they just do it coz they get a big thrill out of it.... .. and they like the idea of exercising a priviledge others don;t have..flaunting a city directive and safety ordnance, and being seen on live television doing it......
of course they would say that;s nothing but my opinion.... ....but reading the news and the internet this morning apparently a lot of people called into the stations during the storm and told them all the very same thing.... there were a lot of people irritated by the antics of the reporters...... and i bet for every one that complained several others did what i did and just turned off the tv and walked away...... hopefully their sponsers will get the message..... coz that;s the only way they will understand it themselves....... -

The arrogance of man is exceeded only by his ignorance, though sometimes it can be hard to tell which of those attributes he favors most.
Each new generation grows up thinking it's the smartest one that has ever lived.
And sadly, they usually don't accept the fact they are not until they are too old, and it's too late to do anything about it. -
