Hurricane Hype: Media’s Overblown Coverage of Beryl vs. Reality
Natural disasters are often sensationalized by the media, creating a frenzy that sometimes diverges from the actual impact of the event. Hurricane Beryl serves as a prime example of this phenomenon
Here, I critically examine the media’s reaction to Hurricane Beryl, contrasting their alarming headlines and expert quotes with the actual damage and loss of life.
Doing so highlights how natural weather events can be exaggerated to support the climate change narrative.
As Hurricane Beryl approached, headlines across major news outlets painted a dire picture.
while NPR ran with “Why climate change makes a hurricane like Beryl more dangerous”.
Climate scientists were quoted extensively, adding fuel to the fire. For example, Andra Garner, a hurricane expert at Rowan University, remarked, “You’re hearing things like ‘unprecedented’ and ‘shocking’ a lot about Beryl,” highlighting how little context was provided for the public.
Quickly the narrative returned to the Hurricane’s Rapid Intensification similar to the panic that was observed after Hurricane Otis last year.
Hurricane Beryl made landfall in the southeast Caribbean, including Grenada and the Grenadines, as a Category 4 storm.
The hurricane caused substantial damage, including flattening scores of homes and businesses, particularly on Carriacou Island in Grenada, unfortunately as expected for a hurricane of this magnitude and the construction standards of the affected areas.
Grenada’s Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell described the situation as grim, with widespread destruction and power outages across the island.
Additionally, several people were reported missing, and the storm’s total fatality count and damage costs will not be known for some time.
Obviously, every loss of life is tragic but let us compare it to other Caribbean hurricanes to fully appreciate the ‘unprecedentedness’ of Hurricane Beryl.

In the name of perpetuating more lies and propaganda, could a cat 6 her-a-cane be in our future?

The propaganda outlets lie about everything. Race, the law, the border, wars, taxes, …everything. Hell, they even lie about the temperature outside to people who are literally standing outside. They stir up racial strife then blame racial strife on innocents. They treat their own opinions as fact and other opinions as hate speech. Basically, every one of the worst traits of humanity are on display evenings at 6.
Fighting back is easy when you know how.
step 1. Protect your mental health. Don’t watch, read or listen to the tripe. Ignorance of the narrative is very rewarding. Try it for two weeks and see if I’m lying.
step 2. Never apologize for exercising your rights, and never be afraid to state your opinion. There are more people that agree with you than you think. They’ve just been conditioned to fear speaking out.
3. Try with all your strength to keep an even keel. Anger is a weakness and they love to incite it.
Anger clouds judgement and causes regrettable utterings in 10 out of every 10 human beings.
Stay happy!

Without anger there will be no action against the stupidity.

Righteous anger is appropriate to the situation.
The alternative is quiet acquiesce.
