With the wind direction I saw from my basement on Wed I am sure we had something rotating near us (probably elevated) at one point. Who doesn't love a good dust devil!? I spotted a potent little couplet on the velocity radar near Mountville the other night and notified some friends in the area but not sure what became of it. 21 minutes ago, paweather said: Everyone is fighting these days it seems.

However, be leery of confounding variables with stuff like this. In this case, the confounding variables would be people's proximity to one another , or better yet, total interactions amongst individuals. For instance, it's highly unlikely the people in cold and wet environments are any less angry or prone to conflict than those in hot and dry ones (in fact probably the opposite haha); rather, people in hot and dry climates are able to interact with each other more, whereas the folks in the cold and wet environment spend much more of their time sitting crankily in their homes. Less interactions equals less opportunities for conflict, hence the conclusions reached in the article. Now, in cases where civilizations were quite literally fighting for survival due to cataclysmic drought or something to that effect, then yes conflict would clearly be more likely. Otherwise, I'm not inclined to believe that the people of Buffalo are any less ornery than the people of Arizona or southern California But good stuff nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a lot better this AM being in a wet environment for once. People in Buffalo get most upset when you point out that the majority of their snow is fake.

I don’t think heat is the biggest part of that equation, or even top 10. Pretty sure Africa and the Middle East aren’t the way they are exclusively or even mostly due to heat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Eastern half of the state gets some rain from Henri now with it being that close to the coast. Showery stuff....the thing is, Henri is just now starting to intensify. How many years and times do we have to go through and remember that our models are terrible at forecasting intensification. If it was a Cat 3 or Cat 4 in 12-18 hours, no one should be surprised. A stronger storm could tighten up the rain field and put less of PA in the wet....a sloppy storm and we could be seeing bands back to Ohio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I think anyone from OC, MD up to SNE should be on high alert. Several models are now bringing it into SNJ or CNJ. I remember Hurricane Charley, in 2004, was modeled and "destined" to send Tampa Bay back to the stone ages and over a matter of 4 hours, he said "Yoink" and took a hard right and destroyed Punta Gorda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a hurricane expert, but wouldn’t Henri’s current location and projected path make rapid intensification a bit more difficult? That said, all kinds of hurricanes have rapidly intensified in recent years, so you can never rule anything out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that no matter what we think we know about them, they do what they want and frequently defy what we consider to be logic but what is actually ignorance. But its current location is still well within the Gulf Stream so its not in the Caribbean but its still getting fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Climate change can make the water colder and air colder (for a while), more 'Canes, more of anything really...or less of anything.

May not transpire but would not be a total surprise. The QPF map you posted is an extreme surprise though. LOL. The SNE thread is doing all they can to ignore it.
