TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 12 minutes ago, Typhoon Tip said: Is there any word on the causal spectrum of that ? I figure it to be like plain crash phenomenon: there is rarely one singular event that brought the air bus to the earth at 9.8 m/s squared, but is usually a string of seemingly unrelated events that culminated in destiny repurposing 100 people's life energy ... despite all attempts to fight gravity while it is happening. In this case, I wonder if the home-fuel aspect of infrastructure might have succumb to the same sort of series of events leading inexorably to that fateful afternoon. Firstly, there is a 'what' happened. I/we get it... gas + heat ... most importantly, unintended too much gas + heat = boom. But, I wonder 'how'? Gas igniting is a black box. I'm interested in why these houses blew up more specifically, after we figure out the gas delivery culpability. Like, I imagine (with no facts upon which to formulate that imagination ) that somehow the pressure in the line got too great and ultimately exceeded the end point's ability to hold it back. It then flooded homes that probably had ongoing electrical componentry and or you name it, and then detonated was inevitable. Last words, "Honey - 'you smell that?" But who knows... About that delivery culpability thing. I live in Ayer Mass, which as the crow flies is just a couple town away from that area of Massachusetts. Word travels fast... My neighbors have relatives and friend-spheres that rise and set over that region of the state, and they were telling me yesterday to expect an tort tsunamis out of all this. Why? Because apparently residence had been complaining and posting signs even, to try and raise attention to the fact that at times ...the stench of gas permeating back yards and thoroughfares was alarming - nothing was ever being done about it. Hm... interesting. The gas infastructure around Boston, and north of the city is some of the most dated infastructure in the country. The fallout from this could be massive. I’d bet your going to see replacements on a massive scale starting as a result. No other choic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an old Castle in Gorey and a lighthouse on other side of island. That's someone's private home in foreground of lighthouse. Old German WWII bunkers around too.

scoob40 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I'm beginning to think that the temps recorded at CEF are as bogus as the day is long. Yesterday BAF and ORE came in at 84. At mia casa it was 85. They came in at 78. Couple that with some of their readings on radiating nights (although they are the unquestioned king in that area) has led me and a few others to believe their sensor is completely out of whack.

wxeyeNH Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The last couple of mornings has been fun with the drone. Living near a hilltop at 1100 feet with the surrounding area being around 550 feet I'm usually close to the top of valley fog. As a kid I always wished I could fly a plane or helicopter next to a building CuB and punch the clouds in and out. Guess the drone is the next best thing. So yesterday morning took the drone up a 200-300 feet overhead to the cloud tops and tried to punch into them. For those that like that kind of thing here is my Utube video.

I was up at Savoy SP in the Berkshires this weekend and I thought things were still pretty muted and green at 2000'+ Looks like rain is moving in a bit ahead of forecast tonight.

Speaking of AFD, I always see so many spelling mistakes and sentences that don't make sense etc. I didn't read the one you are talking about but it happens very often and is a pet peeve of mine. If I were sending something out to the public I would double check what I wrote. It doesn't take too much time to go back and proofread especially in a weather pattern that is fairly benign.
