...Finally, it is an important demonstration of the strength of climate
science models, Mann says. Scientists can make successful seasonal

A thousand single family homes around here and you easily
surpassed a billion dollars.

Now add cars.

The monetary value placed on tree damage alone would make
your ass twitch...

Power lines?

Businesses?

Lost productivity?

Yes, even a pathetic mouse fart of a storm can easily cost
into the billions of dollars today. Easily. Much less a
storm so massive that they needed to have TWO weathermen
pretend to lean into the wind!
