We respectfully disagree :) The ISS cost about $150 billion over 25 years, far less than trillions spent on wars, bailouts, or defense. It has brought science, global teamwork, and not to mention the incredible views that remind us how small and connected we all are.

#Humberto and #Imelda are so close to each other that their circulating winds cancel each other out in a calm “col” area in between them.

🇧🇲 Bermuda needs to be on alert however as Imelda will likely cause flash flooding and damaging waves from Wednesday into Thursday.

It’s possible for them to merge, but if they do, it would likely only disrupt and weaken them both in the process, not make an even stronger system. In this case however, Humberto is stronger and its upper atmospheric flow will pull Imelda away.

The NHC expects it to turn away from the U.S. coast, although much uncertainty remains.

They don’t as the waters are too cold. This is the remains of Hurricane Gabrielle, but it will still bring high waves and stormy weather.
