Jeanne, I will have to see if I can find any factual information about wind over the past 6 weeks. While I am noticing more continuous days of wind, I don't know how valid my observation is in terms of what the actual wind gust numbers say. What we haven't had yet are our summer monsoons or haboobs . A haboob is a giant dust storm wall that suddenly appears sweeping across the land as far as the eye can see. Haboobs are fierce and scary and we always have some around the monsoon season .
Two thoughts about the unusual incidence of winds in your area: I’m not a meteorologist but first thoughts:
1. Wind is caused by the sun when it heats up surface air causing that air to rise and then cooler air rushes in to take its place. The greater the differential between air pressure and temperature between the surface and at elevation, the stronger the wind.
2. I had seen in a reading of the future that climate change especially the melting Arctic would cause a change in prevailing wind patterns across the US.
The polar vortex which involves the jet stream, i.e., high altitude winds that encircle the Arctic and affect weather across the US, will be disrupted and eventually broken entirely due to the warming of the Arctic.
The breakdown of the polar vortex will profoundly alter the direction of prevailing winds across the US., which will In turn permanently change the weather upon which we have depended.
Of course the weather is infinitely complex and the oceans and the mountains and the weather from all directions are all involved.
The loosening of the polar vortex caused Boston to get 112 inches of snow in 2015 while Alaska didn’t get enough snow to run their annual dog sled race without moving it 400 miles further north and still needing to make artificial snow there. At times it was warmer in Toronto than in Boston. So weather went chaotic.
I've noticed an increase in wind in general in the US over the last couple of decades. I used to live on the east coast. Growing up, I never remember constant strings of gale warnings and actual wind storms. Since about 1995, there had been so many damaging wind storms (in the absence of significant precipitation of any type), that I lost count. I also don't recall there being tornadoes in NYC metro area growing up, but since about 1990, I remember having to take shelter from tornadoes multiple times, and one even touched down 1/2 mile away from where I lived in the suburbs.
Perriwinkle10, I am thinking of you this morning after hearing about a 4.6 earthquake northeast of Seattle and wondered if you are nearby. There have been at least 8 aftershocks. I keep thinking about your earthquake premonitions and hope you and your family are safe.
Laura, to your point about tornadoes appearing where they previously never appeared -- I wrote this in 2011. We had a tornado come unusually close to our town near Boston and I got a premonition that it was going to be a new normal in the future.

Bluebelle, I am sad to say that when I posted that post about the L.A. teen who had contacted me to share how terrified she and her little sister were about psychics' earthquake predictions, Perriwinkle decided to stop posting. I asked people to be a little more gentle with how they interpret their predictions. Totally my fault :-(. I am sorry for scaring her off. She was a jewel.
I did not mean we shouldn't post what we see. I don't even know if I have an answer as to how to share visions and dreams and at the same time point out that we can't know for sure. Because sometimes I feel I do know for sure -- as in the case of sea level rise which I've known for years would be much higher than science had been predicting.
I don't have the answer to how to share what we see and at the same time, deal with the fact that some of it will terrify people, but I don't want people to stop sharing their visions and dreams. I think the answer is to calculate our accuracy rate and let people know there is uncertainty.
Anyway, she is gone. I am sorry.
Agree. :-(
Maybe it would be good to post a warning at the top of predictions? Like a disclaimer?
I agree, no one should censor or self-censor a vision.
But maybe there's a way to reiterate to new readers that nothing is ever set in stone?
Hi Jeanne - I recall you mentioning a while back that Michigan and the Great Lakes areas will become pivotal in the future due to the fresh water resources here. Does that tie in to your mention of a water crisis in the Midwest in the mid-late 20s? Do the Great Lakes become an oasis of sorts? Thanks!
