  1. rclab is a beautiful person. the still waters run deepest.
  2. maybe it's just a lack of sufficient selective pressure. maybe American mantids are growing more aggressive or resilient over time to respond to the Chinese threat. this is the Space Race all over again.
  3. they are noxious. large, quickish, stupid insects, and there's forty billion of them. i hate that Mars shit, has anyone told any of these people there's no water or oxygen on Mars? i hope that one day, that alien lizard muppet Jeff Bezos is crossing the street when he's hit by Elon Musk's self-driving Tesla bus, which then promptly self-engulfs in a massive lithium fire. they are two peas in a pod and i hope the pod is full of bedbugs. rclab i don't even want to wake up tomorrow and you're looking forward to 103. do you have any idea how many election cycles that is.
  4. that’s what i mean, not a 2 inch rainer but a decent soak even when the forecast was a 30% chance showers. this radar isn’t 30% chance showers.
  5. probably not an outright coup for the Euro but a nice surprise nice looking cyclone for August 8th
  6. fun fact, if you find a mantis, it's very likely to be one of two invasives, most probably the Chinese mantis Tenodera sinensis but also perhaps the European mantis Mantis religiosa. seems from what i've read that the native Carolina mantis Stagmomantis carolina is a bronze medalist in its own backyard. cats are the ultimate invasives though. keep your cats inside please.
  7. i can't wait to see what life is like in 2050 i'm guessing the average dew point year-round is 80 F and the few remaining survivors of COVID-48 subsist on a diet of spotted lanternflies and boiled plastic waste
  8. so you're saying there's no chance
  9. amazing, three months ago i stop by and everyone here is talking about all the different fancy beers and liquors they're getting into, i come back today and you guys are still drinking. i bet none of you have been sober this entire time. anyway go Orioles i hope we win the world series this year
  10. well hopefully it's punctuated by some storms at least
  11. what an insane month for severe weather. we kicked off with a decaying TC and some record-setting rains, we had weeks of SVR watch days, several huge rain and lightning events, and close with one of the most impactful tornado days in years. what strikes me is how many of these events overperformed. your mileage varied with your location of course but nothing really just busted.
  12. Mount Holly AFD puts a lot on the clearing this morning, maybe a surprise north/central Jersey jackpot due to the rain in SNJ this morning.
  13. can you estimate how far that strike is away from your house?
  14. oh it’s just straight up raining now
  15. beautiful night. getting pinpricked by drizzle or condensing fog.
  16. more from last Saturday
  17. it has been pretty badass. yesterday was a huge overperformer, too. maybe the best day of lightning i've seen in my entire life.
  18. i am just over the moon with how today turned out. a few Tuesdays ago we had that big day with the line that re-developed over CNJ and dropped hours of lightning. and that was super cool, for sure. i was thinking, wow, how often do you get multiple hours of good lightning? but the atmosphere was on crack today, starting a few hours after noon. multiple rounds of heavy SVR, tons of gorgeous lightning; anvil crawlers, the full catalog. and STILL GOING. really amazing and uncharacteristic for New Jersey. i'll be posting photos soon. nothing too crazy, i was impeded by rain, but still good photo album stuff.
  19. one of the best months ever for severe i have some sick photos from today, i think. cant wait to get back to the lab
  20. nobody is in that storm now over Monmouth? thing looks nuts. i just got caught in the rain from the little piece in Middlesex, can’t imagine how heavy the real stuff is.
