Seems oppressively hot out there today…

Hot in N. Texas tonight...

To add to the record heat we're experiencing here in AZ (evcn in the high desert where I live):
On Sunday afternoon, we heard a muffled "boom" and the house shook. Turned out we were feeling a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that struck about 20 miles north of us. No damage or injuries.
What's next? A volcano?

The heatwave of 2023 isn't in the ballpark of past US heatwaves like 1936.

Gerald is covering Hurricane Hilary on his Agenda Free YouTube Channel.

Those who do not give real caution to the Flood/Flash Flood WARNINGS will be putting themselves in Life-Threatening situations. The NWS has said these flash floods will develop quicker than expected in the Warning Zones!!!

THE WEAKENING OF THE HURRICANE WINDS DOES NOT REDUCE THE RAINFALL HAZARDS.

Perfect weather here again today in NY on Long Island.

Idid take notice of a Hurricane forming ( Franklin) but it looks like it will remain east of us but act up enough to rough the surf and cool my local fishing spots for a few days.

Blue claw crabs should be tiding in so I will get some of those at local docks and cook them in tomato sauce with tomato from the garden.

It's Hot today again in DFW...

Idalia is currently forecast to make landfall along Florida's Big Bend region between Apalachicola and Tampa as a Category 3 hurricane. If this happens, it will mark the strongest landfall for the Big Bend region since 1950, when Category 3 Hurricane Easy made landfall in Cedar Key.

Idalia could be strongest hurricane for Big Bend since 1950

A rare blue supermoon, a type of full moon, is set to appear at the end of August.

The moon will be especially big and bright and rise above the Earth's horizon at around 222,000 miles away on the night of Aug. 30, according to NASA. The moon will be a supermoon, or a moon that appears to reach its perigee, the point where it is closest to the center of Earth.

The next blue supermoon is expected to occur January 2037, which is what makes this one rare.

For weeks Hawaii News Now has been asking questions on who was in charge of Maui's Emergency Command Center the night of the deadly fire.

Thank God the reports were not as bad as they could have been but some areas have received flood waters that have been devastating.

Hurricanes are serious and can ruin what most people are fully invested in ….PROPERTY

This moon is also very rare since it will be the actual second full moon in same month.
This will not happen again until 2037 and may be in a different month.

NYC hit by biggest snowstorm in years; over 1,000 flights canceled

A travel-snarling storm buried part of the Northeast on Tuesday, dumping more than a foot of snow and cutting power to over 180,000 homes and businesses across the region.

When I first read that title, I thought I saw “NYC hit by biggest snowstorm in 1000 years . . .”

The storm will create potentially deadly travel conditions along two major arteries in California.

"Donner Pass, California, along Interstate 80 and segments of I-5 in Northern California to Siskiyou Summit in southern Oregon are likely to close," Rayno added.

There is a high risk of motorists becoming stranded due to the incredible snowfall rates and the likelihood that road crews will be unable to keep up with the storm until it concludes late this weekend. This includes roads to and from the ski resorts in the region. Conditions may be life-threatening for those who become stuck outdoors in the storm.

The combination of heavy snow and high winds is likely to lead to power outages that could take many days, if not weeks, to resolve in isolated areas. Those in backwood locations will need a safe means of heat and plenty of food. Experts warn that chimneys and exhaust from furnaces will need to be kept open to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
