Why not drop the anchor?
3 hours ago, Kay said:"The pilot immediately ordered the rudder hard to port to keep the ship from turning right and ordered the port anchor be dropped, which it was, Diamond said. The pilot also contacted a dispatch office to get the bridge shut down."

Not to mention that dropping an anchor won’t immediately stop a canoe, not to mention a high rise on its side. I don’t know much about marine piloting, but I know that there’s a pretty complicated formula for anchor drop and how much line is needed to secure a stationary ship. Factor in that this ship was incredibly large, moving at about 7 knots, tides, wind, current, and proximity to the truss makes me wonder if dropping anchors would have done (or did) much. I do, however, wonder if tugs on either side could have made a difference. But hindsight is 20/20.

A port worker reporting that the Dali was having serious intermittent power outages for a couple days leading up to the departure.
The article covers the worker’s statements, and the video has her statements beginning around 3:57.This accident must be consuming for you.

I am jealous. Mid Atlantic will get 3 inches of rain. All I eked out of that system was a half inch. You guys get all the luck (and all the beneficial rain).
Some of us are going to need some details on the weather to expect come eclipse time. Looking forward to being out your way.

Leaving work and it smells weirdly like snow. But this is the mid Atlantic.

Man, the mid Atlantic is soft. Rio de Janeiro had a heat index of 144F.

I'll be in San Antonio for this. Would be nice to run into some of you folks down there.
I’m flying in Friday night and spending Saturday in SA. Driving west a couple hours for Sunday and Monday, and back to SA Tuesday and Wednesday.

One of those days where the building is shaking from the wind hitting it. Or feels like it is. I mean, I am 20 floors up so it's probably not literally shaking but...still. In any event, windy.
You’re definitely swaying.

1.02" in the bucket so far today & 41.0 delightful degrees. Looks like tomorrow will be a different story w/a 'reasonable worst case' 10 inches. At least I don't have to fly to Reno to get it lol.
I hear @ravensrule would fly to Thailand to get it. But that’s just a rumor. He probably does just fine locally.

Lots of buds on the trees with some leaf out here at work in Easton. March is the new April.
I need to get out and do some pruning this weekend or I'm going to miss my opportunity.

Long shot, but I'll keep watching the period just after St. Paddy's Day. After that, bring on mid 60's and sun.

I’m a compassionate person, but it’s hard to feel too sorry for the cars stuck I 80. They had to have their head in the sand or be in complete denial if they didn’t know how dangerous that trip would be.

6z GFS snows on us on the 11th. 0z was close.
Any interest in the time around St. Paddy’s Day? I know it’s a long way off, but any chance in the evolution of the pattern the gfs is showing?

It’s February 28 and there are daffodils blooming along 29 in Ellicott city. I think we might be permanently screwed.
