Mars will only be 39 million miles from Earth tonight, it's closest approach until 2035. It's red, it's bright, it's brilliant; try a photo with a phone, I'll likely set up my camera on a tripod with some serious zooming. With the moon waning, rising later and later it won't wash things out - perfect Mars viewing. Check out Jupiter and Saturn early evening for comparison - Mars far outshines them tonight.
If you check Venus tomorrow morning, it is still brighter than Mars; almost twice as large and white clouds reflect more light than rust, the morning star still rules. An early riser with a good sky view can catch them both as Venus rises, Mars is close to setting. I will neither be up that early nor have I a view here in the forest.
Few good shakes on the planet today but no tsunamis and most in places where damage will be very local and likely minimal.
Delta went from a depression to a category 1 hurricane and as it moves into the hot waters of the Gulf of Mexico is expected to go to at least cat. 3; landfall right not near New Orleans as cat. 2. Lot of time - but, just checked weather.com and it's jumped all the way to CATEGORY 4 as of NOW!! WHOA!! Could be first greek letter retired!! WHOA!! Yea, global warming is a hoax...dumbasses...
California still ablaze, still no federal help (thanks Punk'n Head) to save federal land - still 2 months of fire season to go... Other states still have fires but California has more...
The High parked over us is sliding east today and our air flow will shift to SW, warmer day ahead after a cool start. That will be our weather for rest of week; until remains of Delta arrives or grazes us this weekend.
You remember the song:
Delta storm
what's that power you got on
could it be some extra heat
from decades gone by
Did I hear you say
you're headed New Orleans way
and more cajuns gonna die
If the storm don't get 'em, the TrumpVirus will (only 9 in Louisiana yesterday, sure that will rise)
Speaking of our "leader" the TrumpVirus. Denial and lies just keep flowing, asswipe's back at the White House, but gotta hope he gets another chopper ride this time strapped down and on a ventilator - ain't like he's healthy. Hopefully FatBill Barr is next, Chris Christie, you slimy pig, nothing but the worst to you!!
