War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Piggy-backing on the tornado story from earlier as the question of climate change enters the picture of wreckage as we see twisters of such extreme, and nearly-rare and unusually violent storms, that wrecked the mid-west last night. However, unlike the heat waves from last summer where those high temperatures “…would have been virtually impossible without…
Another horrendous weather-related story way-topped the news cycle this near mid-day Saturday, and it tags on what we here in California’s Central Valley can expect starting tomorrow and running until mid-week. However, last night/today’s tragedy is fully within mid-America — a shitload of tornadoes whacked the region, including a mile-wide one in Kentucky which twisted…
High, fleecy clouds with lots of yellowed sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we roll through another not-unpleasant portion of our cock-eyed winter season. Rain forecast for tomorrow afternoon, a quick squirt, and clear Saturday with another short drizzle/rain spell, then back to quiet and warm supposedly for next week. Nice out…
Weak-faded sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, but mostly fairly-overcast with a chilly breeze — still ain’t not at all unpleasant. Meanwhile, most unpleasant and pretty bad, the rain-gushing-weather in the Southwest US — river flooding in the central and southern Plains, mostly in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, eastern Kansas and western Missouri, and…
Thick cloud coverage this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — looks like we’re in a wet period, with showers, drizzles, and maybe some actual real rain, in the forecast for the next week to 10 days. Two major news items already, both affiliated with the inherent chaos in nature — one grounded, the other,…
Low-overcast merging with some ground fog this early Sunday on California’s north coast, but feels a bit warmer, most-likely a 20-percent chance of rain this evening the reason — most of the time, wet weather means warmer weather…usually. The NWS forecasts the same rain percentage until Wednesday, descending to a ‘slight chance of showers‘ through…
Up here on California’s north coast this Saturday morning, outside looks deep-overcast, gloomy and gothic — a book by its cover? What you see might not be what it is, yet, at the same time, be exactly what it looks like, only worse. Weather has become more than just background noise. Under the weather, we…
Welcome to the real future: The National Weather Service received 121 reports of possible tornado touchdowns Saturday and early Sunday in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. This morning also via CNN, five people, including two children, were killed in a suspected tornado in the northwest Oklahoma town of Woodward — the impact of a surging…
In terms of pure weather horror, this past week should send a complete, focused message to peoples everywhere — the climate is quickly shifting and all bets are off. Ohio Gov. John Kasich on tornadoes: “It’s like a bomb went off and everything is splintered, bricks are down and trees, and (there’s) just a lot…
After growing up in the tornado-infested deep South, ugly weather has always scared-the-living-shit out of me — my dad’s mother always pitched a wailing fit when the wind started howling, crying about how we’re all gonna die. After time, this display of anti-bravado made a big impression on a naive little kid trying to grow…
