The majority of our space weather comes to us from the sun, specifically in the form of solar wind and solar storms.
Solar wind is hitting the earth constantly, and is responsible for the aurora near the poles. Solar wind isn’t like Earth wind, but rather a stream of charged particles that’s given off by the sun (electrons, protons, alpha particles).
A solar storm is when the sun has a solar flare or a coronal mass ejection. Basically, occasionally, the sun will give off massive bursts of energy, and can sometimes hit the earth. When charged particles from a solar flare hit the earth, you can expect to see aurora reaching down from the poles, making it possible to see northern lights as far south as the continental US. They’re occasionally also responsible for power grid failures. A coronal mass ejection is much more violent. If this were to directly hit the earth, it could potentially send us back to the Stone Age. It could bring down our entire power grid, fry electronics, and essentially anything that has electricity flowing through it. This would also cause aurora to be seen globally, even at the equator.
This is from the forecast discussion of Major Hurricane Florence from this afternoon. As a meteorologist, when I saw this, my heart sank. They don’t use wording like this for every storm.
Florence is going to be a devastating. There will be huge amounts of flooding, both from inland rain and from costal storm surge. Winds are going to be some of the strongest you can get from a hurricane. People within the path of this storm could lose everything.
If you know anyone who lives on the North or South Carolina coast, tell them that if there’s an evacuation ordered, they need to get the hell out. Do not take chances with this one.
radical-orpheus asked:
idk, I think it's 'blech'-weather and neither warm nor cold.. but that might have something to do with the fact that it's always this temperature during the rainy period of the year (rain almost everyday gets old fast)
its storm season here too except all of my friends are meteorology majors so i get dragged along on storm chases so i enjoy it

wait this is exactly what I needed
im the stray newspaper thats been blowing around my front yard for the past 3 hours during this wind storm
concept playlists;
you’re in your boyfriend’s pickup. he’s asleep in the passenger seat, you’re driving without a destination in mind & you have the window down as you let the cool night air whip against your face in a state of pleasant delirium
you’re on a rooftop somewhere, there’s 5 am air on your skin, streetlights glint like coins at the bottom of wishing wells from where you sit. you’re feeling peaceful for the first time all week
it’s four pm in the afternoon and you’ve got your head in the lap of the only boy you’ve ever loved & you’re reading jane eyre & he’s sipping on tea & it’s the kind of weather where it’s just warm enough for you to pretend it’s summer & it’s drizzling & you’re listening to the rain beat softly against the windowpanes
you’re curled up in bed as it pours outside, there’s a citywide blackout and the last candle you had left has finally blown out, but you feel strangely at peace within the warm, all-consuming dark
you’re making out in the bathroom of a house party with someone that makes you feel like you’ve swallowed the sun
you’re standing amidst a city you burned to the ground. the apocalypse has come & gone. all that’s left is ashes & mortar & sad bones but you’re feeling empowered. a slow smile creeps up your lips as you realize how you’ve always wanted to watch the world burn
you wander into wonderland and now you’re suddenly being crowned fairie queen, apparently there’s a prophecy waiting to be fulfilled
it’s mid morning but it’s dark outside from the rain. you thought the tapping on the window was from the rain but it’s actually a crow that flickers out of sight when you look directly at it
you’re sipping on cherry cola by the pool on a lazy sunday & you’re feeling younger than you’ve ever been
you’re summoning old ghosts in an abandoned parking lot on a smoggy thursday night
Awww shit yall know what it is
Why bird do this?
Woodcocks and a few other species have mastered this bounce-step in order to trick worms and other Arthropoda into thinking rain has come by sending rhythmic vibrations through the soil as they walk. Many bugs surface during heavy rainfall to avoid drowning, hence why the sidewalks are always littered with earthworms during and after a storm.
If you walk with rhythm you will attract the worm.
No fucking way
agni-bi asked:
Where are you located? Is that from the tropical storm?
No, I’m in Michigan. We got 8 inches of rain last night.
