The HOULDEN report Sun, Oct. 1 2017
Again,I sit here with another report and trying to put my own spin on things.Lately,I have heard about all the hurricanes within the last month.All which were in fact category 5. Here is what FOX 46 WJZY says....
There have been a lot of memorable hurricanes over the years that have affected the US from Maine to Texas. The devastation we have seen with these storms vary significantly from wind damage to flooding, injuries and deaths, and sometimes catastrophic damage. Despite the challenges these type of events bring, we see people and communities coming together to pick up the pieces. Every now and then we get a hurricane that makes its mark in the history books by being the deadliest, strongest, costliest, or causing the most devastation. When you combine the worst of the worst, you get a handful of storms that changed the history of the United States. (All money amounts in US dollars)
The 2017 hurricane season has already been one to talk about and we are not even half way through! So far, we have seen 8 named storms with the first one developing back in April. Most of the cyclones this season have remained in the tropical storm category, but four of the storms strengthened to hurricane status with two becoming a major hurricane.
It has not only been an active season; we’ve also seen some significant events. The most recent and memorable storm of 2017 was Harvey. This Cat 4 hurricane caused catastrophic damage and record breaking flooding over southeast Texas. After spinning over Texas for a few days, Harvey moved back into the Gulf near Louisiana. Harvey then made one more final turn to the north and eventually making a second landfall in SE Louisiana. This storm will definitely go down in the history books.
*First major hurricane to hit the US since Wilma in 2005
*First Category 4 storm to make landfall in Texas since Carla in 1961
*First Category 4 storm to make landfall in the US since Charley in 2004
Harvey wasn’t the only big talker this season! Here is a look at a few more highlights.
*Tropical Storm Arlene developed on April 19th in the northern Atlantic Ocean. This was the first tropical storm to develop in April since Ann in 2003. Arlene was one of two storms ever recorded in April and was the stronger of the two.
*In mid-June a rare low-latitude tropical storm developed and struck the Island of Trinidad. Bret was the earliest storm to form in the in the Main Development Region on record. It was the lowest latitude named storm since 1933 for the month of June.
*Tropical Storm Cindy made landfall around the Texas and Louisiana border on June 22. This was the first tropical cyclone to strike Louisiana since Hurricane Isaac in 2012.
*Franklin became the first hurricane of the season on August 9th. After crossing over the Yucatan Peninsula as a tropical storm, Franklin quickly intensified to hurricane status in the Bay of Campeche. It only lasted about 5 hours before making landfall in Mexico and weakening rapidly.

Now i have friends in the island of Trinadad not far from Puerto Rico where the Hurricane Maria took aim. I was troubled by this.I was also troubled on how Donald Trump responded with emergency supplies.Puerto Rico is part of the US territory and thus,is responsible for the care of the island.When I found that trump said that the leadership on Puerto Rico,was flawed,I was shaken.I voted for trump and he is abandoning Puerto Rico in it's time of dire need.Thousands of the 3 million who reside in Puerto Rico,are dying each minute.The Power grid on the island is non-existent. The Power grid on the island was antiquated and in dire need of repair when it was destroyed. The island's entire infrastructure is destroyed.
All roads to the ports where aid can be shipped,are wrecked. With no power,no way to get fuel to their generators,no way to keep food or clean water,thousands are dying as we speak.
It is a very sad day when the very president who said when running for election that he is first on the scene to do what the president should be doing,in the filed helping with shirt sleeves rolled up and actually helping out,is really Sitting in the White House dealing with the new tax laws instead of doing what is more important.The Business of the American People and helping personally to restore Puerto Rico back to being a wonderful island paradise.
Thank you Donald Trump for showing us who voted for you,how un-attached you really are.I am trying hard to have faith in Donald Trump but it is getting very difficult.
Aside from the political Bullshit,lets get down to the tech end.
More and More folks are in touch with technology and less in touch with real life.Unfortunately we all have become a society of anti-socialists and folks who forgot what reality is.We see more and more technologies being used in public then ever before.Many tend to think that without these gadgets,life will cease to exist.Guess what.. Life still moves onward even without gadgets.
George Harrison said it best when he stated in his very last interview with VH1 that all he sees is people wandering about aimlessly.Many will try to seek out but shall not find themselves.
That alone was very prolific. A reality check for those who use gadgets for their only exit from reality.I say that the only two things in life counts as real events. Eminent,as it is. Birth and Death. The only two things in this world anyone can definitely count on.Everything else is pure blah.. meaning that all other things shall come and go.Nothing but birth and death,is permanent.
Well,enough of this right now... i will see you next time when I post my report.
till then,be safe...
