I was on a chat board a couple of days ago while Hurricane Sandy was profiled as the most powerful hurricane ever. When I posted facts, Liberals addressed hurricane power in "property damage". When I offered more facts, people talked fatalities, yet these people had zero points of reference. Let's get this straight........a storm power isn't measured in damage, but instead it's measures in wind speed, water surge, etc..
Facts
Sandy wind speed when it hit NYC: 80 mph sustained winds. The hurricane record is 215 mph sustained winds. Sandy's top wind speed at any time was 115mph, and that was well before it hit NYC. At it's maximum wind speed, it was still 100 mph below the record.
The water surge was 8 feet. The US record is 30 feet and world record is 40 feet. Don't even get me going further with numbers. We all know that numbers confuse Liberals.
The next thing I was told was that without rising sea waters, NYC would have not have flooded. Seas have risin by 2.7 inches since 1900. That is less than 3% of Sandy's relatively tiny storm surge in NYC, and less than 0.6% of the world record.
Never ever trust the low information, Liberal voter to understand the facts.
