WL, you have used the word Aleutians in a sentence without providing any
specific information concerning an earthquake time, magnitude, or
location. Since the Aleutians represents 1300 miles of subsiding,
seismically active, plate boundary there are always earthquakes about to
happen. Please provide specifics now so we don't have to suffer through
postdictions later.

You will get over the amusement mo scosh.

The severe drought tightening like a vise across the Southeast has
threatened the water supply of cities large and small, sending
politicians scrambling for solutions. But Orme, about 40 miles west of
Chattanooga and 150 miles northwest of Atlanta, is a town where the
worst-case scenario has already come to pass:

The water has run out.

The mighty waterfall that fed the mountain hamlet has been reduced to
a trickle, and now the creek running through the center of town is
dry.

Meanwhile:

Thousands of people perched on roofs in southern Mexico on Saturday,
desperate to be evacuated from flooding caused by heavy rains that has
left most of Tabasco state under water and 800,000 people homeless.

This was the state of play this time yesterday:
At 03:00 the centre of Hurricane Noel was located near latitude 27 N.
76 W. About 180 miles NNE of Nassau and about 760 miles WSW of
Bermuda.

Noel is moving toward the NNE near 20 mph and this motion is expected
to continue during the next 24 hours. On this track Noel will continue
to move away from the Bahamas.

Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph with higher gusts. Noel is a
Cat 1 Hurricane.

No significant change in strength is forecast during the next 24 hours
but Noel is expected to lose tropical characteristics within the next
24 hours, thereafter Noel should then strengthen and increase in size
as an extratropical cyclone.

Interests along the US east coast from North Carolina northward,
should consult statements issued by their local NWS forecast office.
Interests along the Canadian Maritimes should consult products issued
by the Canadian Hurricane Centre of Environment, Canada.

This is the latest one:

There are no tropical cyclones at this time.

Ephemeral by name and ephemeral by nature.

At home here we have had a mist night with a frosty morning so the
conditions are ripe for this hurricane to continue up. Also, there is
a strengthening in the one in the Asian Pacific; an huge amount of
info here, some clipping:

Tropical storm 21w (Peipah) warning nr 005// rmks/

01 active tropical cyclone in NW Pacific 04:06 near 16 N. 123 E.
Movement in the past six hours - 265 degrees at 13 knots I think that
should read 2.65 degrees as a knot is a 1/60th of a degree per hour.

Max sustained winds - 060 kt, gusts 075 kt And that I believe
translates in this computerised age to 60 and 75 knots respectively.
Some people insist on last century protocols despite all they have
learned.

wind radii valid over open water snipped.

Extended outlook for 48 hrs, valid at: 06:06: 16 N. 117 E

Long range outlook for 96 hrs time, valid at: 08:06: 13 N. 112.0 E.
Max sustained winds - 065 kt, gusts 080 kt

located approximately 190 nautical miles north east of Manila, has
tracked westward at 13 knots over the past 06 hours.

If anyone not really stupid is reading this thread, I would like to
point out there is a thread on UK.sci.weather about a certain
thaumaturge called Piers Corbyn. If Skywise was confusing the two of
us, I might be tempted to apologise to him for a certain remark I once
made.

(Only might, mind.)
