Yesterday's 31.6 temp here at the tirehouse took care of the basil and then I took care of the tomatoes; the growing season is over. Quite a few garden plants are now spending their winter indoors, in good sun, hopefully producing peppers and fresh basil all through the cold season. Last night and today have turned the clock back to late summer but only for today. A dry cold front will return the frosty air for tomorrow morning and until Friday when the remains of Hurricane Willa arrives.
Category 4 Willa will make land fall along the west central coast of Mexico later today and I'm guessing trash things with 155mph winds (ask Mexico Beach, Fla). The remains of the storm are going to cross over the thick isthmus that is Mexico and join forces with a low hammering east Texas and the western Gulf with more rain before moving into the southeast US and transitioning to a nor'easter for Friday and Saturday. While the Atlantic has been active this summer, the Pacific has been REALLY active and is still producing storms (none in Atlantic right now). The new future is now, heat up a planet covered in water and hurricanes are how that planet gets the heat away from the equatorial region toward to colder poles. Global warming is not a liberal media hoax and the planet cares not what fools "believe".
An interesting scattering of quakes today, of course the Pacific rim is shaky, but Iceland, off Vancouver Island and northwest Georgia (USA) are outliers. Nothing in the magnitude 6 range but a few in the mid-5's. Just another day on the fractured planet.
The Moon is lined up straight behind Earth tomorrow about 12:30pm for the October Full moon, the Hunter moon, so that essentially tonight is the full moon. Some high cirrus clouds may scatter some light and cut down on star gazing but it will be bright out there. Get out and enjoy the Indian summer warmth today and moonlight this evening, Today on Earth.
