Weather thread, Part III

I don't know how they do it now in public schools but we always had one day our photo would be taken for that year's yearbook.

But there was always at least one student who had theirs taken privately - and you could tell it was. I think they were made fun of a little bit for it too. "They're better than us." kinda thing. But it didn't bother me...

High school student Lilli Jankowski flew across the country in hopes of finding a spectacular weather event to make her senior photos look amazing. Extraordinary images show her posing with an epic duct storm looming in the background. Jankowski, 17, tells Inside Edition she dreams of becoming a meteorologist. She flew from Reading, Pennsylvania to Phoenix, Arizona where she met up with professional photographer and storm chaser Mike Olbinski.

One girl always had hers taken in profile...

Looks like we may get some rain today......



Took the pic on my way home from my motorcycle storage unit where I finished some stuff up. Home now, power still on, grateful.....

The heat has broken around here now and it's back to high 80s to low 90s, cooler on the mountain, thank goodness. That heat alert was no fun. And I was told that, having had heat exhaustion once, I might be susceptible more easily again...

Lake Mead hits lowest water level on record as Colorado River crisis deepens​

Water levels on Thursday in Lake Mead dropped to 1,040.5 feet, below the previous record low of 1,040.58 feet set in July 2022, according to data published by the US Bureau of Reclamation Friday. The lake is now lower than it’s ever been since it was created nine decades ago.

It’s one of the most important reservoirs on this vital waterway, along with Lake Powell, which experts also fear could reach record low levels in the next few weeks.

In July, the combined water level in the two reservoirs tumbled to a historic low. Together, the reservoirs haven’t been so low since 1957, during the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, before Lake Powell even filled up.

“Lake Mead and Lake Powell are essentially the region’s savings account, and we’ve been drawing it down for years because the river has been overallocated while enduring 25 years of persistent drought,” said Kathryn Sorensen, director of research at Arizona State University’s Kyl Center for Water Policy.

According to weather experts.....we just had the hottest July in history!

I'm so glad I no longer have to work in it for a living.

Brutal!
