The warmth of the new summer month, Rocktober, is in full swing today in the southeast US, tomorrow may be even warmer. The wild wasn't so much in Va. but it was in Pennsylvania yesterday where a cold front fired off thunderstorms with all possible storm choices: heavy rain and flooding, downed trees from tornadoes and other powerful winds and didn't see any hail listed but there were so many damage boxes on the Keystone state map it was hard to tell. I'm sure damage reports are still be updated, damage accessed.
In the desert southwest, tropical storm remnants that came northeast and ashore, dumped heavy rain and when that happens in an arid region, flash flooding is the outcome. Our heat is rain free until slight chances come back this weekend, tomorrow may hit 90, first time in four years that's happened in Rocktober, in Va. More cool weather is not forecast until mid-month, again, looking like the new normal on a rapidly warming planet: early springs and late summers, and the ice keeps melting.
A quiet 24 hours on the shaky world, with two 5.3 magnitude quake to stir up their region. No surprise quake spots today. Volcano report is updated today.
A lovely sunset last night, but the clouds blocked planet viewing. The moon was at last quarter yesterday so the now waning crescent is easiest to see in the daylight morning hours, sans stars. For early risers, the crescent will be in Cancer tomorrow morning near the beehive cluster (bring binoculars) and will slide into Leo on Friday morning. Time for a dog stroll for me and the large brown rascal, hope you get out and enjoy the warmth of lingering summer, Today on Earth.
