The Emotional Trauma of Rita
By I. R. ScottAs the second of two storms after Katrina, Rita has transformed into a Category 5 ultra catastrophic class hurricane in less than a day. Major questions are emerging around the world about the air and water thermal agents in the Florida Keys and northern Caribbean Sea. Rita is entering the final targeting mode ready to attack somewhere on the northern Gulf.
Fear is running very high across the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern United States.
Gulf cities like Galveston and Houston are helplessly awaiting their faith as dead men walking in the new age of city killing storms. The dying city of New Orleans fears final death by more flooding.
Which city or country will be the next victim of an ultra catastrophic class hurricane? New potentially dangerous storm systems are loading in the hurricane corridor in the Atlantic from Africa to answer that question.
Given the record of FEMA protecting African Americans in New Orleans, Black Americans are at serious and increased risk in any city near water.
The population of northeastern United States just recovered from their latest ultra catastrophic class hurricane false alarm and awaits the next storm coming up from the Caribbean.
Due to thousands of dead and missing Black Americans in New Orleans, Americans are forced to relive the emotional helplessness, trauma and fear of the destructiveness of Katrina every time a new storm forms off the coast of Africa.
Lack of context feed fear and helplessness
The growing degree of mass hurricane fear taking place in New Orleans, Houston and other Gulf cities is on a scale only comprehensible in terms of the long trauma caused by the killer storm Katrina. A Category 4 hurricane could cause a storm surge of as much as 25 feet in Tampa Bay, according to a University of Central Florida researcher who is looking at risks Florida cities face from tidal surges and flooding.
The same Tampa Bay ultra catastrophic class hurricane would entomb the Johnson Space Center and most of southern Houston’s Black population under than 15 feet of flood water. Houston, like New Orleans is below sea level. Like the 9th Ward in New Orleans, most African American communities in Greater Houston are below sea level. The water surge from Rita may reach ten mile in land. The rains and wind will inundate and overwhelm the Houston drainage system with billion of gallons of water.
The real truth is that given the fact that Mississippi River chemical plume is now in the Carolina Gulf Stream, Washington, D.C. or New York City and even Boston can now be easily reached this year by a storm with the power of Katrina or Rita. Most Northern white people still think the hurricane threats are limited to the Deep South because they are totally uninformed about the Mississippi River chemical plume thermal dynamics.
Chemical plume thermal dynamics
The New York Times and other major media are willfully leaving their readers with an impression that something is up with the way these new and powerful storms are forming, but are not giving their readerships the necessary context or frame of reference to integrate the massive information about the weather. Nothing is reported or explained about the thermal structure of the new hurricanes, why the temperature inside the eye of storms are so hot, or the effects of heighten levels of Co2 thermal agents in the Gulf Stream near the entrance to the Florida Keys and how the secondary Gulf streams, winds and currents are running inside the Gulf of Mexico that would impact on the storm course or power.
The New York Times offers a portal insight
At the end of the article “Katrina, the Mississippi River and the Risks of the Coming Harvest” in the New York Times9/21/05, Mr. Verlyn Klinenborg allow the New York Time readership a portal into the real dynamics of the Gulf stream creating the new class of killer storm—He stated “The traffic in grain is carefully regulated and monitored. The traffic in topsoil and all the chemicals that have been applied to it on Midwestern farm is not. The result is an oxygen-deficient dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. This year that (dead) zone, which can grow to the size of New Jersey, began to appear in March instead of June”.
The New York Time readership is now informed that they’re maybe a relationship between the dead zone and the Gulf Stream. The existence of a relationship is stated, but now explained, but that’s more than most mainstream media coverage.
1,200 mile super thermal beltway
We will see below how the oil lobby is very carefully suppressing at great cost, even in the New York Times any critical coverage or connection of the toxic Mississippi River chemical water that forms a long belt floating across the Gulf forms a super thermal beltway to transport Co2 super heated water around the Gulf that aids in the green house effect that super heats the sea water that is transferring addition heat to storms via the Florida Keys into powerful storms.
The EPA, Defense and Homeland Security departments are stonewalling any information or connection between the ultra catastrophic class hurricane and the Mississippi chemical waters concentrating in the Florida Keys and Northern Caribbean. Because of this official informational blackout and misinformation campaign by the oil lobby and Bush administration, main stream media has refused to report on critical NASA information, studies and active hurricane projects that link the chemical toxins to the heighten Hurricane’s temperature in the eye of the storms. The general public is unable to make the critical connection between the increase intensity storms and Co2 green house effect from the chemical toxins in the water and air of Key West Florida.
Almost all scientists agree there is something up with the Gulf Stream, but differ on what it may be. Many scientists are hiding behind Worldwide Warning, rather reviewing the local critical mass conditions of the Mississippi River Plume in order to understand the micro Co2 situation in the Gulf of Mexico creating the precondition for ultra catastrophic class hurricanes. The recharging of Rita is following the same pattern and location of the killer storms Katrina. Forecasters are hard pressed to explain the new category storm beyond just estimating the power of storm based on the Gulf Stream temperature. Gulf people know there is something wrong with the water. Most weathermen are reduced to just stating the facts, because of the oil lobby and Bush Administration suppression policy.
Learned helpless and fear
The media has refused to share critical information with the general public on the other elements that may be influencing the creation of a new class of powerful hurricanes this year. Paul Ginoux is doing major new Saharan dust cloud simulation and forecast work at Princeton University working with the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory that is being kept out the main stream media.
At the core of this critical international Hurricane reseach is a new integrated understanding of the thermal structure and dynamics of hurricanes and all the thermal agents? That is, power storms like Katrina and Rita have hurricane eyes that are very warm and extend ten miles up from the surface of the ocean. The eye is 20 degrees warmer than surrounding air. The greater the difference in the two temperatures, the stronger the storm. Co2, chemicals, Saharan dust, and other thermal elements in the water and air increase that transference heat that feeds power to storms. They add critical amount of thermal heat to the Gulf Stream and land hot spot impact on storms.
The oil industrial, fearing mass legal suits, has kept critcal Hurricane reseach apartmentialized in order to keep key groups from making the critical connection between oil and chemical heat transference and storm intensity. The general public is somewhat aware of the concept of green house, but not it application to chemical wash in rivers and landfalls. The Princeton Group has been a driving force in trying to integrate all the various NASA and other projects under a unified theory of Hurricane core development.
This core theory increasing points to man-made Co2 agents as a primary factor in increasing the core temperature of storms, not generalized globe warming. The expanding Gulf of Mexico dead zones and Mississippi River plume are central to this new understanding of other element impacting on the thermal structure of hurricanes in North American.
People looking for meaningful tools
Because of the Oil lobby and Bush Administrative misinformation the general public remains uninformed. Terrified people are reduced to helplessly looking at meaningless computer simulations of hurricane Rita mid course possible landing points and target cities, based on Katrina. Other Americans are totally unaware of how near the next Katrina maybe to attacking their city. It’s like looking at stock closing numbers and not being able to understand what forces create and drive them.
NASA’s Earth Observatory and other government and university based Wed sites are providing storm updates and impressive satellite images, no in depth analysis and insight. No conceptional tools are offered to the general public that might reduce the felt sense of helplessness. People are not being informed about the other thermal agents, such the 100 degree system setting in the Mississippi valley, which is making the Gulf water so warm.
Most news analyses and stories are based on articles from Science Magazine about the increase in sea-surface temperatures and their relationship to hurricane intensity. These analysis’s are very careful to blackout any discussions of the role of the massive Mississippi River chemical toxins in CO2 thermal transference.
While the Gulf Stream warming is critical, it’s only part of the dynamics of hurricane intensity. The fact is the Category 4 and 5 storms now 35 per cent of all storms or one in every three storms. The world wide water temperature is only one degree higher, but the Gulf of Mexico is two or three degree warmers depending on the concentration of critical thermal agents in the eastern region of the Gulf over the Mississippi River beltway ringing the states of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and now the Carolinas.
One degree is very important when you are talking about very large volumes of water. The issue is that there other thermal factors impacting on both the air and water storms feed on. In the northern Caribbean, the Florida Keys and eastern Gulf of Mexico these other thermal agents are playing a new and deadly role in raising the level of heat both in the Gulf and hurricanes.
Most Black people have been left behind in the debate about the changing dynamic of Caribbean weather patterns. Black African American subcontracted out the scientific factors or contexts in order to comprehend the new danger of Katrina class storms.
Mississippi River oil and chemical plume, Katrina
The storm Katrina transformed over three days into an ultra catastrophic hurricane, after almost dying out as it was passing over the landmass of Florida. The storm then jumped in the eastern Gulf of Mexico over the Mississippi River oil and chemical beltway and transformed over three days into a kill storm. Rita recharges near the Mississippi River chemical beltway in the Florida Keys and transformed in to a Category 5 ultra catastrophic class hurricane in less than a day; as she passed into the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Major questions are emerging internationally about the thermal agents in the air and sea around the Florida Keys and Northern Caribbean near Cuba. There is over 100,000 Chinese in Cuba; many are studying the Mississippi River chemical thermal beltway.
After passing through the hot central Gulf of Mexico zone, Katrina started losing it power as it move toward Houston because it was over clear blue cold Gulf water from the westren Gulf. The storm had to be downed to a category 4. These points to the critical importance of the Mississippi River oil and chemical beltway in feeding and maintaining the ultra catastrophic hurricane power. The western Gulf of Mexico waters are water also free of many of the chemical thermal agents of the Mississippi plume water concentrated in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Also, Houston is much farther away than New Orleans. As Rita is locking into a final strike mode, the storm is reportedly weakening over the less chemically contaminated and colder western Gulf.
What is the Mississippi River chemical thermal beltway?
One of the biggest factors blacked out of the media is the fact that there is a large and growing oil and chemical plume that appears as a dark ribbon against the light blue surrounding water. According to NASA the plume remains intact as it flows through the Gulf, the Straits of Florida and into the Gulf Stream. NASA scientists estimated that about 20 billion tons of Mississippi Rives water reached the Florida Straits and Gulf Stream off Georgia coast. This is about four times the volume of Okeechobee, the largest lake in Florida.
The toxic Mississippi River oil and chemical water stays together near the surface like a long belt floating across the Gulf to Florida and then flowing up the U.S. Southeast Atlantic coast before finally mixing with the North Atlantic Ocean. This flow of 1,240 miles forms a super thermal pathway to transport Co2 heated water around the Gulf and eastern coast of the United States. This man made dead zone knows as a witch’s brew of nutrients and suspended solids has been discharging from the Mississippi River for year.
The Dead Zone extends also along the Texas Coast. This man made dead zone transports heat and function as a pathway that overlaps the Gulf Stream grid that generates hurricanes. The interrelationship of the Mississippi River oil and chemical plume and the Gulf Stream has been surpressed by the oil lobby, but appears to have reached a new critical mass in heat conductivity.
Hundreds of new chemical spills caused by the storm Katrina has changed the deadly chemical mix, increased the toxicity and the Co2 content of the Mississippi River water flowing into the Gulf and Florida Keys. Reportedly over 3 million gallons of oil spilled in the Mississippi River during the Katrina storm. The chemically toxic waters also flow down from other cities on the upper Mississippi River. US Environmental Protection Agency detected new higher levels of heavy metals in the Mississippi River. This heavy metal is a good thermal agent to feed storms in the Gulf.
This chemically charged beltway, now extending into the Carolinas allowed for the launching and projection of Katrina class storm deep into the northern heartlands of Northern America.
It’s unclear what the actual order of events are in the thermal dynamics of the Mississippi River Plume is in relation to hurricane intensity. It appears the Plume is a primary element is a Long Island ice tea thermal mixture that feeds storms near Florida.
Heat-trapping carbon dioxide river water
The writer hypothesizes that Co2 in the oil and chemical spilling in the Mississippi River is causing high volumes heat-trapping carbon dioxide in river water. This Co2 water supper heats during the summer time, when the river water temperature raises and comes in direct contact with the supper Hot Gulf stream flow. This creates a localized Gulf El Niņo occurrence during the high hurricane season that contributes to the creation of killer storms. The cumulative process of chemical dumping has increase levels of toxicity in the Mississippi River. Since the Bush administration took power, the dead zone and plume appears to have moved to the next critcal mass both toxicity and in terms of heat conductivity.
What is known is that the chemicals in the oil plume water carries large volumes of Co2 that retains more heat than the Gulf water? This supper heat plume appears to be is mixing with the Sahara dust cloud and hot spots above the Gulf Stream; this contributes to the supper charging of passing storms. Katrina recharged in the Gulf from a Category 1 hurricane to a Category 5 killer storm in a matter a four days. Rita recharged in less than 24 hours to a Category 5.
Long Island Ice Tea effect in the northern Caribbean
There appear to be a Long Island Ice Tea effect in the entrance to the Florid Keys. That is, a critical layered combo of chemical plume, Gulf Stream, Saharan dust and land/sea hot spots forming the prefect storm mixture. As suggested by the New York Times, the early arrival of the annual dead zone may have in the Gulf regional pH and green house levels.
The biggest oil industry concern has been destroying any direct linkages between its chemical leaks in the Mississippi River and the new hurricane destructiveness. The Mississippi River Plume connection is a new threat, which is being surpressed by the oil lobby and mainstream weather reporting.
