  1. My friends once told me that the Maroon Bells are crumbly and dangerous.
  2. This is why you hike starting early, particularly with high mountains of 13000-14000, and particularly when you know it's not going to be perfectly sunny. You try to get off the peak before lightning, which might even start going at 12:00-1:00. The earliest storms happen with the mid-day radiation. Thankfully I had many sunny days of hiking mountains, as I tried to plan it out that way.
  3. peak 38kt gusts at Port Arthur Texas. Now that could blow my hat off my head.
  4. looks like a hurricane landfall,but measured wind gusts in the 20kt-30kt range makes it... breezy for those areas
  5. The tar spots are just ugly. I feel like a lot of trees last year were not able to be brilliant orange, red, or yellow last fall, because there was so much black coloring on each leaf. I believe the red maple (sugar maple?) small trees in my neighborhood have almost none of this problem.
  6. small feature that looks like an eye, but of course a true eye should come with a hurricane
  7. wind gust up to 39kt near Edouard's east side
  8. Do you guys see a lot of the maple trees with black or brown spots on the leaves? For my area, the last 2-3 years, there have been a lot of the black spots on silver maple and Norway maple leaves towards the end of the year. I think it's mold. I don't know how widespread it is. Some maples are losing leaves now, but, of course, not with color.
  9. oops, I missed that somehow!
  10. Yesterday's storm reports/ storm warnings with a few tornado warnings in the eastern section of the country (no tornadoes)
  11. It's so nice to cool down, with lower dew points. a high of 77, and a low of 53 for Toledo, makes for an avergae of 8 degrees F below normal for the day It's starting to feel exactly like those perfect September days, that is, the days with much lower amounts of air conditioning needed.
  12. Here's a very good meteorological discussion of the tornadoes in Dover and Long Island NY.
  13. This large tornado-warned supercell has gone straight southwards towards Sterling, Colorado
  14. This was the confirmed tornado near Granville IL at 7:16 central
  15. report of brief tornado by Mendota IL a while ago
  16. Another considerable severe thunderstorm warning for N. Illinois away from Chicago
  17. Considerable severe thunderstorm warning for northern Illinois (Sycamore) for 1.50" hail, possible tornado tag
  18. two possible tornadoes near JFK
