Wild Winds emerge from no where?

Wild winds with gusts topping 97 mph blew from the great Lakes to the east coast on Thursday, knocking out power, disrupting travel and killing at least five people. The high winds, attributed to a strong low pressure system that was caused by a massive cold front hitting a warm front. In New York City there were wind gusts as high as 65 mph, disrupting morning commutes and delaying flights for two hours at both Newark Liberty International and LaGuardia Airports.

Wild winds with gusts of 65-97 mph, these winds were higher than a category 1 hurricane. This happens when multiple launches emerge from different spacports throughout the planet. On February 10th a Soyuz-U rocket with a logistics satellite was launched from the Baikonur
Cosomodrome in Russia. On February 11th another Russian rocket was launched with two Communication payload satellites from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. On February 12th Eutelsat (a French based satellite provider)and SES New Skies (a Dutch based satellite provider)
launched two Communication and Technology satellites each from the Kourou Space Port in French Guiana, South America. These three launches within 2 days, two from northern Russia and one from South America cut new holes into the ozone layer. That caused solar winds to enter and violently disturb the jet stream that surged the cold front from the north (Russia) to meet the warm front from the south (South America) and the effects are the wild winds that emerged in the northeastern parts of the U.S.
