[Back up] We Love Mass Meditation

First of all, thanks very much to everyone who has participated in Meditation for Hurricane Florence at 4 PM UTC. Since we have announced this meditation on September 11th, Hurricane Florence has weakened to Category 2. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/09/13/the-water-is-the-devil-hurricane-florence-roars-closer-to-the-southeast-with-punishing-rain-wind/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.387e28b031e3 https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/dangerous-category-3-hurricane-florence-to-blast-carolinas-with-perilous-conditions-for-over-24-hours/70006011 Nonetheless, the hurricane has grown substantially in overall size. It is very likely to stall and slowly make a landfall near the Carolina coast from late Thursday night to Saturday, and cause great amount of rainfall, flooding and storm surge. On the other hand, Super Typhoon Mangkhut has strengthened to Category 5. It also became the strongest storm of 2018, with wind speeds of 285 kph (180 mph). https://edition.cnn.c...

Hurricane Florence is approaching the southern East Coast of the United States. It is anticipated to hit South and North Carolina, which is immediately below the US Capitol. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/09/11/us/hurricane-florence-south-east-coast-wxc/index.html It has strengthened almost to a Category 5 hurricane and could directly hit the southern east coast from Thursday to Saturday. More than 1 million people face mandatory evacuation orders in coastal areas of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. According to the weather report, Hurricane Florence is likely to make landfall on Thursday evening or Friday morning on the coast of North Carolina or South Carolina. It is highly likely that Hurricane Florence will stall on Friday and meander near or over the coast for several days, making the hurricane a devastating rainfall and coastal flooding threat. https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Hurricane-Florence-Rapidly-Intensifying-Likely-Hit-North-or-South-Carolina-Thursday ...
