The Zoom Earth loop shows the #DustStorm expanding from SE Iran across the Gulf of Oman — dense plumes spilling offshore and diffusing over the Arabian Sea. A clear view of how regional winds redistribute surface dust at scale.

Spooky story about NASA GSFC - story about destruction of NASA's center that is happening under the shadow of the shutdown.

NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say

Hurrican Melissa had a central pressure of 892 millibars (about 88% of sea level) when it made landfall, which is incredible; the lower the pressure the stronger the air is drawn in and the stronger the winds.

So much power.

A nearly perfect alignment of factors has enabled Hurricane Melissa to become one of the most intense Atlantic storms ever recorded

You VERY rarely ever see a satellite presentation like this anywhere in the world. And you certainly don't expect to see it this close to a mountainous island.
As of 5am EDT on Tuesday, #Melissa is the 8th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record by central pressure (901 mb).

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.

dear @scalzi.com. as a weekend gift, I wanted to tell you that my 11 yr old son who is dressing up as Spock from SNW for Halloween discovered your books. (We had a conversation about words that are said in books only and we don't repeat them in school), but you have another fan for life.

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s.

This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice!

The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.

that is a great point. students will probably have to wait a year or two to take required classes, prolonging their PhD-ship even more.
