I didn't feel anything in Kentucky, but it was picked up on a central KY seismograph.

Earthquakes are weird. They also taught me that I'd be quite terrible in a crisis. I've been through a couple now - I sit there, make a stupid face, am all confused, then its over, and then someone else tells me what happened.

"And are earthquakes really "weather""

They show up as a part of my phones weather radar.

Pretty sure it's underground weather caused by giants living under the earth's core.

There was an earthquake felt in Philadelphia during WrestleMania weekend there, so yes, obviously, that's just the scientific method playing out.

I wouldn't be doing (or on) anything that had critical need of GPS or electronics at about 8pm tonight.

NOAA says tonight's 'cannibal' solar storm could be worst in 165 YEARS and cause GPS and power outages - as they reveal exact time it'll hit | Daily Mail Online
Quote:
Earth could witness the worst solar storm in 165 years as five streams of plasma released from the sun this week are set to make crash into our atmosphere tonight.

:
Scientists have also predicted that three of the five streams, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), could combine to create a powerful 'cannibal CME.'

Data about what is in store for our planet will likely be captured around 8 pm ET when the explosions of plasma racing through space will be one million miles from our planet - and NOAA plans to issue alerts immediately.

This could finally be TEOTWAWKI !!!

So I should expect a call from my mother around 8pm when her TV goes off and she can't watch Jeopardy?

"Make crash" is either a typo or the author allowed their 3 year old to write a portion of the article.

Either way, I LOL'd.

That's because he got into a stare down with it during the eclipse so it backed off.

That is not what I would expect in Portland. Does it get very hot there normally? I always imagined it pretty moderate.

Back in my youth it would practically never get over 90 degrees, whereas these days it seems like we get two weeks over 100 degress and a full month above 90.

Some AI tells me we had 26 days above 90 in 2023, and 29 days in 2022, versus 5 days in 1989 and 7 days in 1993 (random years I pulled out of my ass)

I was expecting the 90's to be rare, and compared to this hellscape it still is. Portland is that place I dream to live but know I never will.

Yeah it could certainly be worse (most of my extended family lives in Michigan for example), the humidity usually stays bearable regardless of the temperature, and there's practically no mosquitos/cicadas/whatever to speak of.


Having said that, Seattle has the best weather in the NW these days. Since they're on the sound they're typically 10 degrees cooler than when the same system hits Portland.

I wish I could post a pic on here. We had a solid 15-20 minutes of the Aurora outside our house just west of Lexington. Amazing!

Crazy aurora photos all over my social media today. I missed the show. Will jump in the car with the dog and drive around in the desert just outside the city late tonight. Will either see the lights or be eaten by wolves.

You should have a poll to see what wins.

About 10pm last night. I'm in Atlanta tonight so they're back home trying again without me. Don't think they were successful since they didn't send me any pics.

She just texted me that the local weather guy said they would be most visible between 4am-7am so she's setting her alarm to check. They were good - not THAT good.

I'll just wait until I have the money to fly to the arctic circle and rent one of those glass condos so you can lay in bed and watch all night.
