The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.

I spent the last 4 days plein-air painting in rural Pennsylvania. In February. Yes, it's insane. Call it my extreme sport! Thursday & Friday were frigid, like a snow globe. On Saturday the sun came out & the world was so colorful! Today we hung our wet paintings at SAMA Ligonier.
