That's is a Wasp Class amphibious assault ship, used widely by the Marines and may be part of the Robin Sage exercise going on now.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp-class_amphibious_assault_ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 The bird activity at the feeders is scary! It's like Wilkesboro scary! I have two , tube style bird feeders and they are emptied daily by birds , and there are kinds coming that don't usually frequent feeders like, woodpeckers, blue jays, mockingbirds, and ravens are on the ground eating what falls! All their food sources are not around , due to extreme drought! The bird bath is another hot bed of activity, as there are no puddles for them to drink and bathe in.

shaggy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 one year at AB we watched as hover crafts ran up and down the beach just a mile or so off shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 That would explain all of the ospreys and helos. Yeah I have seen them out there are few times pretty awesome, once we rented a cabin on the Bay River in eastern Pamlico Co and at night you could see the attack copters firing rockets at ground and sea targets across the sound, then Harriers came in for some runs it was fun..... On a wild weather note....one would expect more weather savvy from balloonist, watch the dude fall off ( the red one) when it first goes up and then watch what the truck it is attached to ( minus driver) does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7CvULBOpwk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Meanwhile in San Diego they got 1.03" of rain today, the previous record for today was .01" so they beat that...in fact they beat their all time July rainfall record which was .13" ( you guys in the upstate wouldn't last a month out there ).... Then of course since it is California they had this....http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/FXC/wxstory.php?wfo=sgx "Eclectically charged storms continue push their way across Southern California.

J.C. Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think I've had about all I can take of summer around the Columbia area. It really isn't livable outside, I'm kinda surprised there aren't mass riots with the weather here. You literally can't go outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If it seems summer last a little longer than winter then your not just imagining things. Earth does not move at a constant speed in its elliptical orbit. Therefore the seasons are not of equal length: the times taken for the sun to move from the March Equinox to the June Solstice, to the September equinox, to the December solstice, and back to the March equinox are roughly 92.8, 93.6, 89.8 and 89.0 days respectively. The consolation in the Northern Hemisphere is that spring and summer last longer than autumn and winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean who the heck wants a long summer ? Oh that's right, someone who lives up north where its actually semi pleasant in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Mt.Mitchell get snow in July ? I know its a lot lower in elevation but its also much further north than Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The GFS continues to be too high for temps. Here is day five showing 105 degree temps in the up-state of SC.
