My son and his family still live out there. It's a bit early for this kind of weather, but welcome to the 2020's decade! Quoting: Texan Buckeye I hope he'll be safe. Storm chasers are excited out there. Quoting: Simple27 I'm sure they will be. It'll depend on where the dryline sets up and it's usually just east of them. The chasers are ALWAYS excited! You should see them when there is going to be a huge outbreak. It's a parade! LOLOL I AM glad they're out there, though. They've saved many lives. |

Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.5 Afghanistan ~ Pg 20354 I don't know that I've seen any posts about this here. Sorry if I'm wrong about that. Today's the first I heard about it! Meteor streaking over Vermont exploded so "violently," it shook buildings, NASA saysMarch 10, 2021 A fireball traveling at 42,000 miles per hour streaked across the night sky above Vermont on Sunday night, creating a spectacular light show. The meteor "fragmented so violently," it shook buildings across the state and produced a loud boom, NASA said.
It was so intense, it could be heard for miles, as it shook homes and cars.
"As the object penetrated deeper into the atmosphere, pressure built up on its front while a partial vacuum formed behind it. About 30 miles up, the pressure difference between front and back exceeded its structural strength," NASA Meteor Watch said. "The space rock fragmented violently, producing a pressure wave that rattled buildings and generated the sound heard by those near the trajectory."
Three nearby stations reported that the meteor released the energy equivalent of 440 pounds of TNT. Based on its speed and distance, scientists estimate the object weighed about 10 pounds, with a diameter of 6 inches. [ link to www.cbsnews.com (secure)] |

"The red auroras looked pale white to my unaided eye, but a quick exposure with my camera revealed their true color." What's so tricky about red? The action, if you can call it that, takes place more than 150 km above Earth's surface. At that high altitude, oxygen atoms excited by solar wind slowly spit out red photons. Emphasis on slowly. The radiative lifetime of the transition is 110 seconds--an eternity at the quantum scale. The atoms must remain undisturbed that long to produce their red light. Perhaps that's why red auroras often appear when conditions are quiet. "The solar wind speed last night was quite low and there was no expectation of a geomagnetic storm," says Elzein. Tonight is expected to be quiet as well. Red auroras, anyone? [ link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] Quoting: Simple27 Red auroras indicate high radiation levels in the tropopause.

Quoting: CleverCreator Very interesting. And sad that they don't have the money to properly monitor this volcano. They said they anticipate eruption between 2024-2027 if activity continues as it has been. Hopefully they might find funding before then. |
