I often defend Metservice but not in this case, the lack of warning for the Heathcote catchment was unexplainable and not good enough. A watch was nowhere near sufficient.
All Warnings & Watches have now lifted.
The low that brought so much rain is now filling in as it spins away to the southeast of the South Island.

Of course clouds have to be moisture-laden, otherwise they wouldn't be clouds. I get what they mean here but it made me chuckle slightly 🙂
A band of moisture laden cloud is approaching the north of the North Island 🌧️☁️. Rain is expected to develop and spread east from about 3pm this afternoon, affecting Northland and Auckland 🌦️.
There is a Thunderstorm Watch in place for the affected areas ⚠️Keep up to date at bit.ly/AllWarnings

Get ready to see this a lot more in the coming decades.
Our infrastructure isn’t ready for what’s coming.
The Bay took over the highway during this morning's #KingTides in Marin.

Another incredible photo from this account. Never thought I'd see anything from inside or near to the blast zone from during the event!

You've been at a job long enough to know a decent colleague to chat with.
The more you get to know them, the more they share. What's fact or fiction? You don't know, but you listen.
Then there's one story that's so over the top—a bona fide lie. But then, a photo appears.

According to the USGS, more than 2.3 million people may have been exposed to very strong or severe shaking, and another 14 million may have experienced moderate to strong shaking. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

A M6.9 earthquake struck Cebu island in the Philippines today, causing at least 20 deaths.
The rupture seems to have occurred on an unmapped fault, started below the ocean and continuing to the southwest, passing near populated areas of Cebu.

I have no words, never knew these photos existed!!! @davepetley.bsky.social have you seen them?
If you know what you're looking at, these become three of the most insane, unbelievable photos you'll ever see.
The luck that put three people in this spot, to capture the largest landslide in recorded history from this vantage point.
Oh, and capturing the lateral blast's start, too, in the last.

The shallowest landslide I think I've ever seen and seems tragic too with cars on the road at the time. @davepetley.bsky.social what do you make of it?

Just found out about the discontinuation of the stratospheric temperature and height products from the NOAA POES satellites. I did not think to link these to recent political changes to US satellite operations.
I am deeply dismayed by this. Our understanding of the stratosphere is now hamstrung.

The M6.1 shallow #earthquake near Bigadic, Turkey, occurred on a normal fault system, possibly the Sindirgi-Sincanli Fault Zone. A similar event occurred near Simav in 2011 and generated significant damage around the epicenter. ⚒️🧪
