Extreme up-close video of tornado near Wray, CO

Owners Watched Fort McMurray Home Burn Over iPhone

ELee says...

Tragic.
I kept thinking that this looked like the view of a 'fire change denier' - sort of like a climate change denier, except for us - it is the whole environment - and we can't move.
I guess we are the fish.

From a nice hike to almost dying in a heartbeat. Holy crap.

Hiking near mt Aconcagua in Argentina (tallest mountain in the Americas, 22800 ft; across the border from Santiago Chile).

The original text accompanying the video is in Spanish, a tidied up Google Translation version is as follows:

“Avalanche between Horcones (park entrance) and Confluence (first base camp of the Aconcagua field). Julian Insarralde [who posted the video], Nico Aguero and Naco Choulet were working for INOUT ADVENTURE. During a trek lasting three days. We are going to customers to avoid them being splashed with mud as it is an area of avalanches at that time of year. The warning was a sound similar to an airplane sound, which is why Julian Insarralde is looking back and is able to warn that an avalanche is coming. That’s why we ran and we did not abandon people so that we were in the safe zone. They are things that can happen when we work in real natural environments”.

Guns with History

ELee says...

US gun deaths since 1968: 1.5 million
Deaths in *all* US wars: 1.4 million
Congratulations, the NRA is officially a bigger enemy of the US than the NAZIs.
This has nothing to do with 'rights' or 'self protection'. This is all about gun manufacturer profits.

"In the nineteen-seventies, the N.R.A. began advancing the argument that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to carry a gun, rather than the people’s right to form armed militias to provide for the common defense."

I'm pretty sure the Founding Fathers intended that all american citizens have one of these. And that teachers be required to carry them.. you know, in case.

EPIC View of Moon Transiting the Earth

ELee says...

This spacecraft is about to start collecting regular data on the energy balance of the whole Earth - an important additional set of data on global warming. Of course the spacecraft was ready about 15 years ago - but Republicans did not want it to fly because (1) they hate Al Gore, and (2) they don't want us to know what they are doing to our planet. ("Close your eyes and vote Republican!")

Is Climate Change Just A Lot Of Hot Air?

ELee says...

Perhaps you amateur climate scientists could pay attention to the what the scientists say that study this issue. The consequences are serious. The effects are starting now. There are many positive feedback loops. We are driving the climate to a state it has not been in for the past several million years. (Oh, and that 'atomic bomb per second' is about 280kt/s these days.)

Motorcycle rider chases down hit and run driver

ELee says...

Thanks for the video and story. (Right about "life in 'murica" - I have chased drivers who almost drove people off the road, and had a couple of them wave guns at me.)

Also, I learned what a "pillion" is. Not a waterfowl, it turns out. :-)
