BREAKING: Inspector general report: Former FBI Director Comey's actions with handling his memos violated US Justice Dept. and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement, but “the Department declined prosecution.” nbcnews.to/2zuzzuy
IG report: Comey used leaking of his memos “to create public pressure for official action,” and “set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information”
The IG report provided a summary of Comey's handling of the memos, as well as how the IG handled its report, in the "Introduction" section of the report.

Yep, I’m alive. Made it to Nassau. #Hurricane #DORIAN: By far the most intense cyclone I’ve witnessed in 28 years of chasing. Thought I was playing it safe by riding it out in a solid-concrete school on a hill in Marsh Harbour. Thought wrong.
Winds pounded the building with the force of a thousand sledgehammers. Crept out during eye to find school mostly destroyed, cars in parking lot thrown around & mutilated. Barometer said 913.4 mb.
Frantically piled into few functioning cars (one of them mine) & relocated to government complex before backside struck. Building filled with terrorized refugees, many who had swam to safety or abandoned collapsed houses. The calm eye saved lives—gave victims chance to relocate.

Now that everyone is back at work, the conversation about Hurricane #Dorian and climate change will begin in earnest. That's fine as long as you stick to sound science.

So, what is the current "consensus" among hurricane scientists?

It's right here: gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming…
(1) It's important to point out that this 2019.

It is not the year 2100 and you should not take climate model output from 80-years in the future as the proof of a "signal" you are seeing today.

The changes in the 22nd Century are a long ways off.
(2) We have a long historical record -- going back to 1851 -- with, of course, decreasing certainty in hurricane data.

However, since the 1940s we have aircraft recon and then satellites came along in the past 50-years.

We also have good records of U.S. landfalls.

WARNING: Long thread
(1/8) While the HWRF solution for #Dorian is an outlier, as it brings the storm onshore in Florida, the model may be onto something. Unlike the GFS and EURO, the HWRF is coupled to the ocean, meaning that upwelling is a considered factor, and...
(2/8) the model shows weakening due to cooler, upwelled waters as it crawls W. The 18z run has it initialized at 901mb, and even though that was 10mb too low, the GFS initialized it at 957mb, 42mb too high at that point. But by 00z Wednesday, the GFS is deeper than the HWRF...
(3/8) As a result, the GFS (and EURO, too) curve it north as the hurricane deepens. The HWRF, on the other hand, shows weakening because of the aforementioned upwelling, which causes the storm to become shallower in the troposphere compared to GFS, which could be crucial...
