    Default Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 4

    Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 4 storm Wednesday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.

    While the storm's maximum sustained winds had dropped to 145 mph by 9 a.m. ET, it still threatened to do severe damage to the U.S. territory. A Category 4 storm has not hit the island since 1932.

    Maria was moving at 13 mph and the storm's eye was located about 15 miles away from Puerto Rico's capital, San Juan, as of 9 a.m.

    A weather station near Arecibo, some 43 miles from San Juan, recently reported a sustained wind of 71 mph and a wind gust of 91 mph.

    "This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation," the National Hurricane Center warned.

    Storm surge was predicted to be 6 to 9 feet in coastal Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Rainfall totals for Puerto Rico were projected at 12 to 18 inches, with as much as 25 inches in isolated areas.

    Maria is also forecast to approach the Dominican Republic, where conditions will deteriorate Wednesday evening as Maria passes just north of Punta Cana around midnight.

    Another global warming superstorm. Deniers barely had time to take their fingers out of their ears from Jose and Irma.

    Those folks didn't really need this with their country reduced to a joke by their government. Hope they got their hatches battened down.

    Mind dropping this mindless drivel... even the warmers know these have nothing to do with any climate change.

    Despite claims by the hoaxers that such storms would be commonplace in the 12 years between Katrina and now.

    There is nothing that true believers won't try to attribute to their AGW gospel.

    Earlier I saw a thread claiming that earthquakes are caused by "global warming".

    None of them do, since none of them has abandoned their use of carbon-based conveniences.

    If the adherents of the Goracle really thought AGW was an extinction-level threat, wouldn't they set an example by living the green life?

    They don't, thus, I know that they know they are spouting politically-motivated BS.
