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. https://www.itv.com/news/2024-03-26/major-bridge-in-baltimore-collapses-following-collision-with-cargo-ship @CAPE This accident must be consuming for you.

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.

March blows.

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.

You’re definitely swaying.

How is this thread so active when I need to mow my lawn?

I hear @ravensrule would fly to Thailand to get it. But that’s just a rumor. He probably does just fine locally.

I work 15 jobs just to pay for someone to do my taxes.

I’m going to have to cut the backyard in a week.

I need to get out and do some pruning this weekend or I'm going to miss my opportunity.

Make up the spare room. I’ll be there Friday.

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.

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?

Any original Star Trek tv show fans here? Looks like the Tribbles have invaded the summit of Mammoth.

There are always a lot of blowhards at Camp David.

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

Smart.

Mullins just missed that first pitch!

Moon talk. Like we were ever there. I'm kidding. Just poking the conspiracy theory bear.

If next year is the nina some are expecting it to be, you may find me living in a tent in your backyard.

First thunderstorm of the year here!
