#2 Cross-leveling relief resources is a task that the Federal government should be undertaking. The fact that Gov. Abbot is undertaking the task is telling.

Those still recovering in Fla., and South Ga.,
from Helene are going to need your prayers. Plus, a lot of emergency supplies that our Federal Government has squandered.

Because DC Swamp was too busy spending and sending $$$$ to every pocket around the world, plus their own. Instead of following their oath of office and US Constitution, which requires America 1st.

#4 There is a good bit of weather manipulation talk going on this week.

#5 at 800am EDT, peak winds were down to 145 mph

an eyewall replacement cycle (which frequently occurs in strong hurricanes) and some land interaction (hurricane is near the Yucatan) were probably responsible

Merida, MX has a pretty decent functioning radar and you can follow it

#6 weather manipulation talk

I’m skeptical. Have we advanced past basic cloud seeding yet in real life?

#10 Wasn't that why Chernobyl was built in 1st place - to power Woodpecker?

#11 Ah... well Oleg P. Designed and built the woodpecker and ordered the reactors at Chernobyl. He was a good friend and co-worker at Motorola.

Before I introduced him to some Pave Paws designers I had a long talk with them about what he had told me about that analog phased array radar .. Oleg and I had lots of laughs about all the shit people dreamed of the woodpecker doing..

After introducing him to one of the Pave Paws designer the designer got back to me and said woodpecker was an even worse design then I suspected. Totally useless in the real world.

As to it's woodpecker noise I introduced him to ex-Motorola engineers who had made millions on devices to work around the noise. They were happy to meet him and roasted him with several nice dinners in downtown Chicago.

I lost track of him about 2015 and assume he might be dead.

BTW he defected to the USA the same week it went live after testing. He was sent to Dayton for a few years of inquiry and then NCR and others then Mot where he was on the same team with me and then when laid off went as CTO to a firm in San Diego.

All the crazy theories about the Woodpecker are bullshit! Take it to the bank.

#12 Oh and his father was a Hero of the Soviet union who died in the first Kursk battle at the beginning of the Nazi invasion that the USSR lost.

And his first wife that he was kind of forced to marry for political reasons taught communism at one of the Moscow universities. He defected because she and his political commissar didn't approve when he was caught by them sc...ing the commissar's wife.

#13 Some of his favorite days in the USSR was when he was testing radars near China's borders and the fields were full of wild tulips
