Hurricane Adam Slams San Francisco Bay Area, Millions Still Trapped, Without Power.

San Francisco Bay Area is reportedly wiped out as Category-5 hurricane strengthens and moves southeast to Los Angeles, heading inland.

Significant evacuations and rescue operations continue on its second day after the wake of Hurricane Adam’s destruction of the San Francisco Bay Area. Thousands are feared dead, and millions still missing. San Francisco was unrecognizable two days after the storm; dozens of skyscrapers laid waste across the city, crucial roadways in and out of the area blocked by debris, and major flooding three feet deep covered critical zones.

A hurricane warning remains in effect throughout the southwestern coast, which is home to over 13 million people, and won’t be lifted until Sunday afternoon. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has forecast that the storm will bring 12-14 inches of rain and life-threatening storm surges and rip current conditions.

High-speed winds have reached the Channel Islands as Hurricane Adam continues to move southward, threatening the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area. Hurricane conditions are expected to reach LA in the early hours of Thursday and are predicted to head eastward to Arizona and New Mexico as a category 2 and a tropical storm, respectively.

The strengthening category 5 hurricane was formed earlier in the weekend two hundred miles off the shore of Northern California as a tropical depression, which is unusually rare so close to the temperate zone, bearing no signs of weakening.

The 10 PM ET Report shows Adam located about 80 miles west-northwest of San Miguel Island and is moving east at 45 mph, with winds as high as 157 mph. The NHC reported that Adam broke records during its time classified as Category 5. “It is one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded in the Eastern Pacific basin, and this far north,” the organization tweeted last Monday.

White House Officials and The National Weather Service continues to monitor the hurricane’s movement. The National Guard has been deployed from Fort Irwin and Camp Pendelton to assist in rescue and evacuation efforts.

“The city of San Francisco and the Bay Area remains a critical danger zone. People are advised not to come near the area,” military officials said after a join conference late this evening. No reports have yet been released on the extent of the damages incurred by the city. Although troubling reports from survivors have started to flood Twitter and other social media services, disclosing the city’s astronomical destruction, yet officials remained quiet.

Adam is the third major hurricane and the second Category 5 classification for the 2022 hurricane season, following Erica and Barry, respectively. Most unusual is the formation of six more storms predicted to reach hurricane status within the next 3 days throughout the Atlantic Basin, which experts believe to be the drastic effects of climate change.

UPDATE: (modified Fri 26 2022)

Hurricane Adam is officially moving inland and is expected to reach Phoenix, Arizona, as a Category 2 storm. It will bring 8-9 inches of rain, and advisory warning for major flash floods around the Tucson Area.

Super Cells: Six Major Hurricanes, Five Typhoons Forming In The Atlantic & Pacific, Threatening Millions.

The storm season of 2022 is shaping up to be one of the most devastating natural disasters in recorded history as a reported 3 million feared dead in the US, millions still missing.

Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes are rare. Only 7% of the 300 hurricanes observed since accurate satellite measurements began in 1983 have reached that catastrophic intensity. However, the 2022 storm season has seen an uptick of that trend as four of the six major hurricanes forming in the Atlantic has achieved the rare classification, joining Hurricane Adam, which continues to move east toward New Mexico as a powerful tropical storm in the wake of the devastation in California.

The biggest among the six is Hurricane Andrew, which moves at 10 mph west and threatens The Bahamas and the Eastern Coast of Florida, expecting to stay within the area close to twenty-four hours. Almost 70% of Florida’s residents are advised to evacuate.

Hurricane Esther continues its rise up north and is expected to hit New York and Boston within the next two days, and Hurricane Gloria has made landfall across New Orleans, drawing strong storm surges the likes of Hurricane Katrina back in 2004. All three North American storms are classified as Category 5 as of late Wednesday.

Portugal and Spain issued mandatory evacuations of the Western European peninsula, fearing massive casualties as the most eastern, and most powerful hurricanes in three hundred years made landfall as of Thursday, 5 AM, local time, and the storm is expected to hit Western France and Ireland by Saturday evening.

Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua issued the same statements as two Category 4 hurricanes, Almina and Leo, continue to approach the Central Eastern coast, already devastating vast swathes of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.

On the Pacific, Philippines, Indonesia, and Taiwan have reported massive casualties as rescue efforts resume after Typhoon Hayan and Madrigal weakens to a low tropical storm. However, three other Typhoons heading toward Queensland, Australia, Kagoshima, Japan, and South Korea, respectively.

The situation is currently ongoing.

One Month Later: Worldwide Male Population Decreases 7%, Scientists Say In Wake of Earth’s Sea Of Storms.

Where did all the men go? Close to 270 million men worldwide are still missing after the catastrophic devastation from thirteen powerful storms in a span of a week.

“A once in a lifetime event,” says meteorologists for NASA and NHC after witnessing a recorded 13 powerful major hurricanes/cyclones in a span of a week, compared to an average of 10-12 major storms per season. Though this record comes at a higher cost.

It has been called the greatest natural disaster in recorded human history after fourteen million are feared dead around the world, and over 270 million still missing. Though experts are baffled to find that 97% of the missing individuals listed were men ranging from all ages, and most of them came from the major cities hit by the storms. The majority of those rescued in the affected areas were women and girls.

Over fifty-three major cities had been hit during what social media has dubbed the Sea of Storms. All fifty-three cities affected around the world experienced the same phenomena: all devoid of men. As of last Sunday’s report, no bodies of the men have been recovered since joint-worldwide rescue efforts resumed after the last of the storms dissipated.

“It is as if they vanished into thin air,” Tommy Boyd, a local government official for San Francisco, says. “Wives, daughters, mothers, and friends are left stunned and are searching for answers.” Mr. Boyd was one of the hundreds evacuated before Hurricane Adam’s landfall in San Francisco.

“New York looks like a ghost town,” Brooklyn resident, Abigail Jones, says four weeks after the havoc of Hurricane Esther. “I think the government is trying to cover the magnitude of what was going on. My family was in up in a shelter at The Bronx—me, my nephew, and my two brothers—and they just disappeared.” (Update: Following up on this statement, Ms. Jones clarifies that she was sleeping at the time of their disappearance.)

Abigail wasn’t alone. Similar reports had come out over the past four weeks in Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Mexico City, London, and Singapore, among many others, of male family members and friends disappearing during the storm, with thousands in consensus proclaiming to see strange green lights upon the storms’ landfall. Though, White House officials refuse to comment on this developing story.

The 7 AM ET Report from the United Nations emergency assembly last Saturday discloses that there was a 7% decrease in the male population worldwide following the disaster. As of now, no current plans have yet been proposed to address this growing situation as millions of families around the globe demand answers, and instead, officials choose to focus on searching for the millions of missing individuals whom they believed might be swept into the ocean.

Unfortunately, the increasing threat of climate change continues to create these intense superstorms since the beginning of the 21st century and is likely to increase in occurrence within the next few decades, and global polls have revealed for a dramatic call of action to this new breed of ultra-intense superstorms.

Updates: (modified Wed 21 2022)

Joining the 37 countries affected by the storms, the United States issued a surprising mandatory evacuation notice on a 20-mile radius from the affected cities, effective immediately. All fifty-three cities hit by the storms are now under strict quarantine by the military and World Health Organization, and bans any man from entering the area, or else incur heavier fines and jail time.

White House officials refuse to comment after the announcement.

This situation is ongoing.
