Post Apocalyptic is a good way to describe it. It was like that here in Vermont after Irene. Looked like something out of a movie.

Meanwhile, in warm Loveland, Colorado, I don't expect to have a true winter. Last year the first snow we got after summer was on New Year's Eve. I never got more than 3 inches at once, all winter. This time might be even worse. I love winter.


^ 9-29-2024. I had a high of 87*F after a low of 56*F. I was going to say be sure to remind me if I ever complain about the cold this winter, but hey, I don't think I ever do.



^9-29-2024. I saw the owners of this property putting this up my last walk. They put up something different for every Halloween.

That meets the very definition of "spooky" lol. Nice work by them, my wife would love it.

Mountains + hurricanes = disaster.
Sadly people settle in the valleys along the rivers.
The mountains collect all of those torrential rains down into the valleys and the rivers rise ten's of feet in mere minutes.

As the atmosphere continues to warm and become more energetic, this type of sequence will become more 'normal', i.e. frequent.

I need to get out a map book. I have been wondering where all that flood water has gone. In California it flows to the Pacific Ocean.

East of the Eastern Continental Divide, flows eventually to the Atlantic Ocean.
West of the Eastern Continental Divide, flows eventually to the Gulf of Mexico.

Without a detailed map, I would say the majority of the flooding goes easterly.

For California, the Great Continental Divide deternines where the water flows, which is to the Pacific.

Feeling like Fall here which is appropriate of course. Temps have cooled down, in the lower 50's, it's a bit windy, leaves are blowing and very overcast.

Thank you Gene.
