I had Lasik in 2004. Had to get glasses again about 4 years ago … would probably need reading glasses regardless now. I have monovision, my left eye is only -0.25, my right -1.00 … reading vision is +1.75 …but I can still “read” without glasses. Essentially my left is good for distance, my right eye for reading. I only wear glasses when I’m outside/driving.
This was me, but reversed. My brain did not like the left eye being completely corrected. Since cataract surgey my brain virtually disregards my left eye altogether.
This is gonna sound weird but even though I don’t understand the picture, I can’t stop checking and being amaze by the development, like kind of addicted to it. Where this morning were 3 yellow points now there is a 4th
It gets addictive doesn’t it? I’m fascinated by severe weather. In my next life I want to be a severe weather journalist. That 4th one is interesting.
What was interesting was when I clicked on the spots it indicates that the formation potential over the next 7 days is really low for all of them. The one most likely to impact FL, by the Lesser Antilles, has a less than 10% chance of forming, which is great news for your trip!
I like the 2 day outlook myself. Lol. Flying through storms used to make me so nervous until I remembered that airplanes fly through hurricanes all the time.
I totally agree. I mean, I know there must be a scientific reason why they move how they move, but it’s fascinating. I assume there are some strong sea currents that make the storms move always with a similar pattern, cause they never reach to Europe or South America. I wonder, do you have any earthquake area in America?
Mostly in California and Alaska, and to a lesser extent Washington, Hawaii, and Oregon. Also occasionally in the Rocky Mountain states. But small ones have struck various places across the U.S., from Oklahoma to Massachusetts – anywhere.
It does and stays that way. Had to check weather working in civil engineering and possibly being outside all day. Wanted to be sure to have whatever was going to be needed in a day.
Here’s a map of earthquake frequency in the U.S. for visualization.
Mt. St Helens in Washington and Mauna Kea / Mauna Loa in Hawaii are the only ones I remember hearing about in my lifetime. Also Yellowstone is a long-term threat and has lots of geothermic activity. Here’s a map:
There’s a whole range of them along the western coast
From northern California up nearly to Canada. As you’re flying along the majority of peaks are at 6,000 to 7,000 feet and every once in awhile there will be a sleeping volcano which looks like a giant mountain at 14,000 feet.
I think there are 6 giant mountains along that mountain range
Hurricanes usually move with the winds high up in the air. The winds in The North Atlantic generally move clockwise. Northern Africa to The Caribbean to Florida then north to Maine/Newfoundland then east back to Iceland and The United Kingdom. This huge circle makes it easy for hurricanes to form.
The South Atlantic is much different. The winds start at The Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, then they fly all the way past Brazil and then meet up with the North Atlantic winds. No circle makes it much much more difficult to make a hurricane Brazil has had 1 hurricane land on their country. That was in 2004.
