"Compared to previous infestations in the region, the 1874 plague was significantly more damaging. The invasion coincided with a record drought in the Midwest and Great Plains, which induced the grasshoppers (estimated at 120 billion to 12.5 trillion) to not only thrive but also to swarm when local vegetation was decimated. The arriving locusts would pile up to over a foot high and ate crops, trees, leaves, grass, wool off sheep, harnesses on horses, paint from wagons, and pitchfork handles.

Typhoon Tip Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 mm mentioned this yesterday but this thing is really sub-standard synoptic in scale. It's between meso and synoptic .. in Met we used to refer to that range as 'meso-beta' scaled. There's an intense rain ball over SE NY with warning headlines... and then these spokes like being on the east side of a tropical system racing N - meant as metaphor ...don't get your buns lubed with mustered. Anyway, the models appeared yesterday to be more spread out/interpretive over what was actually happening at the time, and so far that's translated up to being a more localized impact. One other aspect, we were commenting on the depth of the low pressure... I think this whole construct was misleading a bit... The low was developing in a region that was already 998 mb/negative regional anomaly with a broad surface trough in place. You take that initial condition and the low goes down 10 mb and suddenly you got something in the mid 980s... but it's really 1000mb low 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
