The scramble is on along the southeast coast to prepare for the wrath of Florence. But, it's hurricane season and a storm off the Yucatan has the Gulf coast of Texas potentially in it's sights, another storm heads toward the eastern Caribbean, another toward Hawaii and a Cat 5 super typhoon is charging toward the Philippines. The Earth is hot and trying to get the heat away from the tropics. Wild times are ahead. High water is not in doubt, just how much rain will a stalled Florence dump and then how high will the flood waters rise is the question. All records are eventually broken!
Big shakes in the western Pacific today, another 6.3 in the island arc where the Aussie plate is crashing into the Pacific plate. Japan, Indonesia and Philippines are all shaky today, too. Old Faithful even made the list today, a little shake with that geyser blast.
Little chance of a sky view along the cloudy east coast today. The cold front fizzling out over Virginia today might leave a chance to see the thin crescent moon above and right of Venus tomorrow. Flo's arrival will likely wash out any chance of seeing the crescent near Jupiter Thursday, on the east coast anyway. Get out and check out the planet, batten down the hatches while you can and then get ready to hunker down, Today on Earth.
And, for those old enough, remember where you were, what you felt and what, and who, we lost seventeen years ago today. Then remember we all need to work for positive change in a crowded world if we are to build a better, less violent, less war-filled world, today and every day on Earth.☮
