(OPINION) I365News – The year’s coldest weather hit the central US last week and though the direct cause was a polar vortex that came sweeping down from the north, a closer look at the history of the tragically misnamed “Peace process” shows an undeniable correlation between anti-Israel policy and massive natural catastrophes, economic disasters, or worse.
A polar vortex is a persistent, large-scale, upper-level low-pressure area, less than 620 miles in diameter, that rotates counter-clockwise at the North Pole and clockwise at the South Pole. Normally, the vortex contains the coldest weather and remains at the poles. Sometimes, parts of the vortex can move south, bringing unusually cold weather down into the US, Europe, and Asia.
The current polar vortex hit from the Lower Mississippi Valley into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast from February 12-16 but another round of low temperatures hit over the weekend. At least 2,400 cold temperature records were broken or tied., some of them going back 75 years or more.
Temperatures over the southern and central plains were 40 – 50 °F below average. The low temperatures were accompanied by ice and snow. more than 5 million homes were without power, most of them in Texas. More than 30 people have lost their lives. READ MORE
