Abate, aberration, abeyance, abhor,
desultory
It is nothing new the fact that hurricanes are becoming more unpredictable; formation speed and wind’s force is now more difficult to predict than before, leaving authorities wondering if there is a need to review all preparation standards to face these type of events.
It was expected that the winds force will abate once the hurricane touched land, and the time since development from a depression to a hurricane, where enough to allow safe preparations and evacuations in the affected areas.
But, as recent storms had demonstrated, aberrations of hurricane's normal development theories are in place more and more. In general, more than 72 hours were required to communicate the event and evacuate people from targeted areas. Now, hurricane Ida was formed and become a category 4 hurricane in 72 hours, sustaining winds force for hours after reaching land. With a slow traveling speed, dumping rain and winds in selected areas with the more subsequent damage.
All these events highlight the suspicion that climate change enforcement plans are in abeyance, waiting as always for politicians to react to situations when it is too late. That is why all environmental activists abhor the fact to be depending on lawmakers to fix or implement new rules to protect cities and rural areas from the changes in habitat conditions.
If politicians think that current desultory preparations are enough, they will better look at current events to revamp their policies on the matter and stand up to the challenges that the changes are imposing on affected populations.
