The early blue skies of yesterday filled steadily with clouds until it was covered by evening, no moon visible. Weekend weather guys forecast a little, light rain early today that would be gone by late morning; WRONG!! It has been steady rain since before sunrise (like we could have seen the sunrise..) and it's still coming down; not a deluge but far from the light rain they were predicting.
Not sure if the Low hanging off the Carolinas will slow the movement of this system and the clearing of our skies or hold the rain even later into the day than weather prognosticators said. It is waaaaay too wet for me to venture out and the big dog agrees, snoring gently.
South central Chilean coast has got the shakes today, several above 5 and they are continuing. North of New Zealand/Fiji and central Indonesia with the only other 5+ quakes today. Iceland's volcanic issues just hosted a 4.9 quake. No quakes reported on St. Vincent but I'm betting the volcano is still rumbling...and blasting. Texas with too many quakes for natural Texas to be having; oil greed & fracking.
The sun is streaming a fast & heavy solar wind our way, lighting the barely dark skies of the far north with auroras; that will continue for a few more days. The moon was near Mars last night but not for my eyes.
I thought the rain was slowing, a lull in the drops on the puddles but no; it has picked back up, noisy on the roof.
TrumpVirus stats seem to have been caught up, but still a weekend downturn in either deaths, cases or the reporting. With ICU beds full in hospitals in the northern US the downturn seems not quite accurate. Spring break idiots bringing the virus home to mom, dad and grandma and snow birds returning from the peninsula of infection seem to be driving the northern surge. And, for those hesitant to get the vaccine (whaaaat??), I have yet to speak to a vaccinated person that was not relieved. Still, lot of fools and suckers out there believing crap on facebook and not those actually in the know.
Soooooo...stay safe, be smart, mask on, shot in, but, stay apart, Today On Earth.
