Wolfie, thanks for holding down Geo when I was off reading stuff for tomorrow's postings. I really appreciate it. What fun to find someone beside me is interested (and what woman is not?!) And, authentic, card-carrying Droolers, too. The Spring will never be the same, which is a good thing!

My ex in central Pennsylvania is complaining of 100°F (37.77°C) temperatures out doors and sent the following:
Russia is having abnormally high temps also. In the 90's and dry like us. Besides all that, they have locusts to eat the few plants that are
surviving the weather.

More from Pennsylvania (note the size of the hail storms):
Yesterday afternoon was sunny and hot, although some welcome
scattered clouds began to appear by mid-afternoon. Then an area
of clouds-joined-together moved over us. They sprinkled a couple
of times and tried to give us a rain, then it got darker and there was
a boomy rumble of thunder. Real rain fell for quite a while, then
there was a rattle on the roof as nickle-sized and quarter-sized hail
fell with the rain.
That cell moved away to the south, and we had a pause in the rain.
It was still dark where the clouds were coming from, but we could
see blue sky along the side of the second storm that was
approaching. A somewhat cauliflowered shower head grew along
the side of the main gray mass, and rapidly achieved the height of
the rest of the storm. Its rapid rise would have given a hint of what
was to come.
The fairly concealed second storm approached; and the sky had
barely begun to get dark, but no rain yet, when scattered white
objects began to fall. They were maybe 20 ft. apart at first, then
there were more and more of them in the air until they were falling
about 2 or 3 ft. apart mixed with rain. These white objects were
the largest hail I have ever seen. Golfball-sized hail is often
mentioned in the news, but there is was! They weren’t spheres, but
were chunks about the right size. They were big enough that they
could roll in the grass after they landed, rather than getting tangled
in it. They generally bounced several feet high, some as high as 4
or 5 feet.
I was afraid to look at the car after it was safe to go outside, but
found only one dimple. Possibly the hail was mostly soft; and I did
see some smash to bits on the parking lot and the cars, rather than
bouncing.

Since Hurrican Season is upon us and we all need to be aware of possible severe weather warnings for Tornadoes and other threats to life and property.
First, before things begin, check for updates and possible storm threats to our area and while it is ongoing - as long as you have power to run your computer: http://www.noaa.gov/
Afterward you will need http://www.fema.gov/
And anytime is good to prepare the little ones in your family by using this URL

You clever girl, posting this at Keepsakes. It got me to come by. I'm sorry to be complaining about the weather so much. I hate it when people do that. Look
like relief is coming tomorrow though I can't remember if it's a high front or a low front. Which brings cooler temperatures and is it the same in winter?

A high brings clear skies and the cold front. My ex is in Williamsport and he had golfball-sized hail. Did you get any of that? (Heide, I am delighted you posted...I do what I can to get people here as I work pretty hard on it to just be for my own ego..) The jet stream was up in Canada and that is what moved stuff around on the North American continent. It is sliding south again and will move the hot stagnant air out. Yes, the same things happen in the winter...lows bring snow and sleet because you
angle to the sun is different.

Can you see the ocean from your picture windows? What's the view like?
Batten up those hatches, and good luck getting through this one. Is this
the biggest storm of the season so far?

Response 23 of 987: Marcia (MarciaH) * Sun, Aug 15, 1999 (12:20) * 2 lines
We shall batten down the hatches and tighten the anchor bolts if it becomes necessary. The only ocean I can see from the property without sitting on the roof is a very distant horizon, which is just fine considering the Tsunami potential. This is the first major storm to come our way this season, but we are lucky with the two 14,000'(4267M) mountains behind Hilo. They are usually large enough to deflect the storms that threaten(so far.) The current pattern is for them to hook around the south point of
ur island and head north hitting Oahu (Honolulu) and Kauai. The last one, Iniki, just about levelled Kauai, and they are still trying to rebuild and recover.

I erred. It is the world from Hawaii on the left to the edge of Africa of the right. They do not have one for the entire world, sadly, but few hurricanes form over the land mass of Europe. They have this one, though:

I expect Marcia has put some of Oz's strange weather this winter on. But it is nothing compared to some parts in the rest of the world. Sydney's baseball or cricket size hailstones I suppose has been the worst. Adelaide has had a very dry season - already the driest city in Oz and they are in some trouble. I would be most interested to know if the monsoon arrived in India this year. New Delhi seems to have been hot most of their summer season.

We have for the last two days had the strangest weather - even my server
was down. Storm winds - force 10 out to sea yesterday and last night
(Thursday) today heavy rain for at least six hours - I measured three
inches - unbelievable for October and extraordinary. Our total rainful for
the month is two inches!! But three in two days. When Denis got up this
morning he had an awful shock - rain coming through the lounge ceiling and
now we have a large brown patch and a small hole - but fortunately he
managed to get a roof tiler to come out in the pouring rain and fix it. He
bored a hole to relieve the guttering on top of the rook and charged $70
but it was worth it to save the carpet and further damage to the ceiling.
Now we have to repaint, it never stops does it.

Irene did not pull a Floyd and my extensive garden
need major clean up. We lost two trees and part of the
screen where the pool is. It was a category 1
hurricane and ironically, no one really made a big
deal out of it. It happened very quickly, we did not even get
the time to put up the shutters. Where I live lots of trees were up-rooted.
In other areas there is flooding. We survived another one!

Four young boys out walking in the storm were electrocuted from broken electrical lines which were hidden by the high waters same happened to a woman walking her dog.
Lots of areas remain without electricity and phone.
The scary thing was not receiving a warning so as to prepare until it was too late to really do anything about it. Hurricane Irene was over Cuba and they predicted it would turn west towards Naples Florida, instead it went east to Miami.

We got rained upon, went up the volcano to get through the clouds and only
succeeded in getting pure Mother Nature's acid rain (SO2 from the volcano mixing with the mist) - which ate at my eyes and throat until we got upwind of it.
No flooding on this Island that I know of so far...but it is still 1000% humidity (at the very least) and just hanging. No breezes to move it off of our

It was a very loud night in Hilo. Much lightning and resulting thunder and buckets of rain as noted below. That means snow on our mountains. The only time we get snow up there is when we have thunder storms. They are the only precipitation-inducing clouds we get which are high enough to snow on the tops of the mountains.

Fierce Winter Storms Ravage Northern Europe
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Fierce winter storms left at least 17 people dead
and scores injured across northern Europe on Saturday, as well as causing
millions of dollars of damage and severely disrupting power and transport.
Emergency officials said a series of storms packing gale force winds and
heavy rain or snow rolled eastward from Britain on Friday afternoon, causing
devastation across Scandinavia, Germany, Poland and the Baltic states
overnight.
Denmark appeared hardest hit and officials there said six people were killed
and many injured in the country's most powerful storm this century.
Material damage was estimated at more than one billion crowns ($134.5
million), the Danish Insurance Information Service said.
``This is the worst storm in Denmark this century,'' an official at the Danish
Meteorological Institute said on DR1 television.
Rescue officials logged more than 4,000 reports of damage to buildings,
mainly shattered windows and torn off roofs, DR1 said.
THREE KILLED IN NORTHERN POLAND
In northern Poland, falling trees killed three people early on Saturday as 62
mph winds swept across the country, downing power and telephone lines,
damaging houses and wreaking havoc with road and rail transport.
A giant 345 foot crane capable of lifting 900 tons was toppled into the sea at
a shipyard in the Baltic port of Gdynia.
Rail connections between Warsaw and the Baltic cities of Szczecin and
Gdansk were cut by falling trees, the news agency PAP reported. Air traffic at
northern airports was badly disrupted.
``Many homes are cut off from the world, without power or electricity,'' the
agency said. Casualty figures are expected to rise as more information
arrived from outlying areas, police officials said.
In Sweden, three people were killed and more than 125,000 households and
businesses were left without power when the storm swept southern and
central regions.
Power companies said every effort was being made to restore power in the
Skane region, Dalsland and Nykoping but about 70,000 households remained
without power on Saturday afternoon.
The storm halted traffic at Swedish airports and ferry terminals. Several train
services were also cancelled.
OFFICIALS HOPEFUL FOR TRAPPED LATVIAN FISHERMEN
In Latvia, officials at the port of Liepaja said they were hopeful that six men
trapped under their capsized fishing vessel since before dawn could survive a
another night of crashing waves and near freezing water.
``We wouldn't speculate what the odds of survival are but we sincerely hope
that there could be people still alive inside the wreck,'' a port official told
Reuters.
He said the water temperature was about 35.60 degrees Fahrenheit with
winds of 18 miles per hour. He added the waves remained strong and winds
were expected to reach 55 miles per hour overnight.
Lithuanian media reported a 13-year-old boy had been crushed to death after
strong winds toppled the chimney of his house in the western region of
Shilute.
A 76-year-old Hamburg man died and 16 others were hurt in Germany,
officials reported.
Strong winds, which reached up to 110 mph, ripped off roofs, and flooding
raised the sea level 19 feet in Hamburg.
On Friday, three people were killed when a large tree fell onto traffic as gales
swept central England.
Rain, snow and heavy winds also caused serious travel problems in Scotland.

I woke up at 4:30am this morning and listed to the start of the Honolulu Marathon. The weather is as big a part of the story as the runners today. They are saying it is the worst race conditions since 1987 with torrential downpours and gusty winds. Monsoon conditions - on this Island as well. The race favorites, the Ethiopians are falling behind and the Russian women ( but not including our own Tinianovna) are running strongly and in front of the pack. Poor Stace, this is Not the way to start your ca
eer in Marathoning. However, she is not alone; Thousands are running for the benefit of cancer research in diverse areas. They have raised many thousands of dollars for their cause - a truly meritorious reason for pounding your pedal extremities to a pulp. Go Stace!
