I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.
If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

Here is the current view from Imperial, CA looing north! This is literally mere miles from the U.S./Mexico border. ALL U.S. STATES (possibly excluding Hawaii) CAN SEE AURORA RIGHT NOW if clear!

The underwater seismometer network is so great, as evidenced from yesterday's EQ off-Tohoku.

Mw7.9 earthquake hit Denali Park, central Alaska. One of the greatest EQs ever registered inland in North America, caused lots of damage and one injured. Felt in much of Alaska and also in the northwest of Canada.

Dodgers win Gm6, 3-1. There will be a 7th game. Yoshinobu Yamamoto went 6IP of 1-run ball. The BP held TOR’s offense to that single run. LA bats dropped a 3-piece in the 3rd, then disappeared. The pitching & defense were the MVPs of the game.

"Some people may perceive one category up from another one as only a "little" bit stronger. Like earthquake scales, the hurricane intensity scale increases logarithmically. That means a doubling of wind is not a doubling of damage. It actually results in a 256-fold increase in possible damage."
Writing is my coping mechanism when I am worried about a weather situation. As an unprecedented storm like #HurricaneMelissa approaches Jamaica, I feel helpless, so I write. My Tuesday morning thoughts on the storm.

When you see photos of GPS stations, you’re usually looking at the protective radome cover and not the GPS antenna itself. The gray radome helps shield the antenna from rain, snow, and debris buildup and protects it against general wear.
