The Wind in the Future

The Day After Tomorrow?

I wrote the above blog about the lowest barometric pressure ever recorded in the U.S. within the last 24 hours near Chicago. It is comparable to a Category 3 Hurricane if it was over water. Nothing like this has ever been seen before in the United States.

I have written before as an intuitive about what I see coming in the future. I can't give you dates. I just know this sort of thing is coming. How fast it comes now depends upon how people live their lives, how they find ways to preserve the ice in mountains and polar ice caps, of how glaciers all over earth are kept in existence, how forests are cut down etc. etc. etc.

But let me share what I have seen (I also write about this in my blog article "The Day After Tomorrow?" above).

At some point (likely within 25, 50, 100 or more years) (depending upon what humans on earth choose to do en masse) winds will start to move more above 100 mph in all flat areas (without major mountain ranges nearby). Those that are not literally blown away never to be heard from again over the years and who learn to adapt to regular winds on the flat during parts of the year above 100 mph will have homes built with one or more hydraulic columns so it can be pulled under the earth and locked in place when necessary to avoid the winds. Or to avoid a flood it can be raised up.

Also, in high winds (especially gusts) one would have to be tethered to a house, large tree, heavy car or truck (something that won't blow away. One might even get used to being tethered on a tension line, rope, or metal cable to do work and have a personal winch to get to safety if and when necesary.

Sailors in the past and present often tether themselves to their sailboats for example so they don't fall overboard from a wave or wind. So if they fall or are pushed overboard they can haul themselves back on board with their tether line. So this would be just like that only on land.

If above 100 mph winds are common on deep water lakes or oceans then boats or ships would have to be designed to be submersible to avoid the wind and waves during these winds. If you have ever seen what a really high wind can do to a sea or ocean you know that during these times no ship or boat wants to be out of the harbor or near the shore if they are a big ship.

It is possible that these onshore low barometric (hurricane) like events will happen periodically since the one today. What it looks like on a satellite weather map reminds me the most of the storms we saw in the fictitious movie "The Day After Tomorrow".
