South, Midwest brace for rain, flooding

Where do Elon Musk's engineers and inventors steal their ideas, India circa 1990? (rense.com)

Regime Change! We've had it with both of them.
Is there a connection between human turmoil and weather chaos? Do we inadvertently impact our environment, stirring storms, droughts, plagues, and famines by our collective 
karma ("mass actions," such as group meditation or group prayer or rioting or demonstrating or going to see the Greek play Lysistrata)? Of course, the powers-that-be launch and manipulate many of these things, but we may also be having an impact without realizing it. We and our environment are not two separate things but are interdependent. A peaceful uprising might lead to peace in the skies, seas, and shaky grounds. The Buddha's Agganna Sutta certainly suggests we are always interacting and interdepending inside and out. Protests to continuehandsoff2025.comOccupy.com is not real news.



South and Midwest brace for more historic rains, flooding
(NBC News) April 4, 2025:  The South and Midwest brace for more historic rains and severe flooding in a deadly multiday storm system. The 36-hour period from Friday evening into Sunday morning will be the most dangerous, as an additional 6 to 12 inches of rain will fall over already drenched areas.

Rain, flood in Texas gets worse (live)


LIVE: Texas floods | Hundreds rescued from flooding in Texas as waters continue rising in Houston
(CNN-News) May 4, 2024: At least 178 people have been rescued from homes and vehicles in Harris County, Texas, an official said Saturday, with more rain expected over the weekend in the wake of strong storms and downpours that damaged homes and triggered evacuations, a catastrophe leading to mold infestation, homelessness, and financial ruin. Who's manipulating the weather? No, this is Texas, so God is angry and just paying the state back for endless sinfulness and not doing enough proselytizing against non-Christians.  #texas #usa #texasfloods #news18live

Severe storm hits Midwest; sun warms SoCal

A powerful storm system is forecast to unleash heavy rain, large hail, strong winds, and thunderstorms capable of spinning up tornadoes this week across much of the south-central United States.
This area was battered just last week by deadly storms. The low-pressure system invigorated by moisture from the Gulf of Mexico began a slow, multi-day journey from Texas to the Great Lakes region on Eclipse Monday (4/8/24).

As it headed east, severe weather was expected to hit the Gulf Coast, the mid-Atlantic, and the Midwest regions, the National Weather Service said.

The threatening forecast led organizers of The Texas Eclipse Festival to end the celebration early Monday and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to activate emergency response resources.

More than 30 million Americans from eastern Texas to Mississippi were at risk of severe weather Tuesday, when heavy rain, wind, "large hail," and several tornadoes were expected to lash the region, the storm prediction center said.

The highest risk of flooding was in the Texas Panhandle Tuesday night and the mid-South on Wednesday, the weather service said. More: More
What about Southern California?.
Meanwhile, SoCal had clear skies in the L.A. metropolitan area for viewing the partial eclipse.

The super bloom is overtaking LAX, the international airport blocks from the Santa Monica Bay. Along the landing and takeoff lanes, there are more colorful flowers than anyone has ever seen.

For the rest of the region, we have had too much of a good thing, rain. The extra precipitation is holding back the explosion of desert flowers in the usual areas. Meanwhile, the streets and fields of Los Angeles are full of "volunteer" golden poppies, the state flower. They are spread by birds or the wind or guerilla gardeners, particularly in Pasadena.

Lana Del Rey is coming to SoCal
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is ramping up for two consecutive weekends of partying in the desert east of Los Angeles County. And the greatest female singer alive, Lana Del Rey, is headlining. Meanwhile, Beyonce Carter keeps topping the country charts to the chagrin of white racists looking forward to the next Stagecoach Music Festival.

Why not work at the Fair? Help wanted
And the Renaissance Pleasure Faire has arrived in the San Gabriel Valley at the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area in Irwindale, where the 134 and 605 Freeways cross.

The Renaissance Faire opened last weekend for its Southern California run. This lakeside area (Santa Fe Dam reservoir) is a wonderful place to spend a few hours, with a lot of great opportunities to people watch, says Robyn.

Blue Banisters is not her best work.
Thanks to an abundance of actors and stages, visitors really do feel like they have been transformed back to the Renaissance ["Rebirth"] time period. Small children really have fun, as there is a plethora of things for them to do amidst the adult debauchery. There are plenty of options for food and drink. But mainly it's just cosplay for busty adults in those special "cleavage platter" brassieres and the people who love them (RenFair.com).

Leap in solar energy technology achieved

Jeremiah Budin, MSN News Technology, 2/25/24; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly
If this is really what the solar system contained, we'd have a photo of everything in one frame
.
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, have succeeded in creating a system that can capture and store solar energy for up to 18 years and can produce electricity when connected to a thermoelectric generator. The implications of this breakthrough are major: with it, solar energy can be stored and sent anywhere in the world then converted into electricity on demand. More:

Woman sucked into tornado, films it (video)



Woman sucked out of building while filming tornado in Arkansas
Tim Binnall, Coast to Coast, April 04, 2023
A jaw-dropping video from Arkansas shows the moment a woman wound up being sucked out of a building while filming a tornado that swept directly over her while she was at the dentist's office [getting fake teeth or just a cleaning that stripped off all the enamel?].

The incredible footage was reportedly captured by Kimberly Shaw last Friday afternoon as she was visiting a dental office in the city of Little Rock, where Billy Clinton and his Bonnie used to ride roughshod.

Mesmerized by the sight of a powerful EF-3 tornado that had formed in the distance, she called her husband, Jimmy, into the building from the parking lot and began filming the unsettling scene with her cell phone.

Declaring "Oh, I'm gettin' this," a determined Shaw stood at the door of the dental office as the violent storm barreled towards her.

To Shaw's horror, when the twister reached the building, she noticed that its incredibly strong vacuum was opening the door of the office glass that was protecting her.

"The windows behind us blew out, and when it did, it sucked me out," she recalled, telling another local news outlet that "there was debris hitting me. It was flying over my head. That's all I could see was debris everywhere." Shaw credited her husband for saving her life as Jimmy "grabbed a hold of me and he pulled me back inside" in the building. More

COMMENTARY
(WQ) Montebello (Spanish, Italian, and/or some derivative of Latin for "Beautiful Mountain") is a semi-industrialized suburb in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County, east of the main city center, just a few miles from DTLA and its world-famous skyline. Who would have imagined an Arctic blast, a Pineapple Express, relentless rains and floods, mudslides, hail, and record snow as spring begins in this dusty Mediterranean climate region which is not a desert? Los Angeles is a basin full of surprises, alpine regions and beaches, hills and meadows, and more asphalt and concrete than the mind can comfortably imagine. Now tornadoes, too? Angelenos have always had "rain spouts" out by the Santa Monica Bay that don't quite touch down but leave Venice Beach tourists in awe. Now with the great white sharks swimming under surfers in search of sea mammals, it's getting too dangerous to live in these parts. This tornado was the leading story on weather.com on the days it happened, as there seem to have been two that touched down.
