I get serious brain farts when a volcanic eruption occurs. Not the casual chemistry of fish food but that all out high explosive stuff. I wondered what happened on Monday last (31 July 2017) but maybe the events were not of the right calibre.
Or maybe my head was too far stuck up the back end of my utilities company. I switched to the cheapest cover I could find about an year ago. One that seeks out dimmos who only post of Facileburk for that is where they house their servers.
After losing my wallet and the various cards in it I waited for Utilitia to come back to me with some replacements. HSBC the most egregiously corrupt bank in Britain got me a card in a week. (Yes I know that is too long but what could I do?)
When I finally ran out of electricity I started making demands on their Facebook page. All very highly charged and uncChrist-like. But people who screw little people deserve no mercy.; so don't read this as an apology to the bastards.
They eventually sent me my card numbers and offered me free replacements for £6:oo a pop. They can feck off!!
If I ever get my house tidy I am going to get a new service. No hurry, now that I got Visa to service the buggers. (First time HSBC ever came back to me to make me sign an areyousureyouknowwhatyouredoing clause. They must have had complaints from everybody else?)
But back at Hartshill Towers I have no more worries about the leccy, just no idea what is going on with the horsemen. I was looking forward to the high I generally get with dysfunction. It pays for the lack of sleep and other pain. And I like the clear faculty for writing poems. Or rhymes at least. (I think of them as doggerel.) But hell, they are fun to write.
I even boned up on a lot of music that I like writing to. And nothing happened. It should have:
You can clearly see volcanoes on this horizon can't you?
This was Saturday the 29th July.
Sunday the 30th; something went bump.
And was followed by swarms.
Which developed a classical "Next" on the bottom left. A standard tell for volcanic activity is the development of swarms but they also take place at the much quieter level that doesn't make the lists. The North Atlantic chart is a genus rather than species locator.
In case you missed it; we had some 7 or 8 tropical storms this week or so:
Hurricane-4 FERNANDA 12-22 JUL
Tropical Storm GREG 17-26 JUL
Tropical Depression EIGHT_ 18-20 JUL
Hurricane-2 HILARY 21-30 JUL
Hurricane-1 IRWIN 22 JUL-01 AUG In the American (East) Pacific and:
Super Typhoon-5 NORU 20 JUL-04 AUG - still active
Tropical Storm KULAP 21-26 JUL
Tropical Storm ROKE 21-22 JUL
Tropical Storm SONCA 21-25 JUL
Typhoon-1 NESAT 26-30 JUL
Tropical Storm HAITANG 28-31 JUL
Tropical Storm NALGAE 01-04 AUG in the Asian (West) Pacific.
Plus Emily:
Tropical Storm SIX 31-31 JUL
How many is that?
Tornadoes in the USA were absent but between these and the last batch of
storms there was quite a snowfall in New Zealand.
It is time to mention the effect that the solar system has on the planets when the declinations of the said planets are blow earth's equator.
I can only point to the Wiggins storm for this:
Ezekiel Stone Wiggins was a philosopher who live in the heroic age of meteorology, where for such heroes, the eyes of cyclones (and anticyclones) were actually considered meteoric. This is when the term comes from. FitzRoy had no time for Astrology and the irascible bsd gave the buggers short shrift whatever short shrifts are before cutting his throat (an equitable pass-time for Captains in the Royal Navy once they spent all their money.)
Wiggins OTOH accepted all science for what it revealed without claiming to understand just how it worked:
A series of lesser eruptions began on May 20, 1883. The volcano released huge plumes of steam and ash lasting until late August.[22] On August 27 a series of four huge explosions almost entirely destroyed the island. The explosions were so violent that they were heard 3,110 km (1,930 mi) away in Perth, Western Australia, and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, 4,800 km (3,000 mi) away.[4] The pressure wave from the final explosion was recorded on barographs around the world. Several barographs recorded the wave seven times over the course of five days: four times with the wave travelling away from the volcano to its antipodal point, and three times travelling back to the volcano.[21]:63 Hence, the wave rounded the globe three and a half times. Ash was propelled to a height of 80 km (50 mi).
I couldn't find the tract Wiggins produced with the forecast for the storms that turned out to be Kratakatoa blowing up. And seeing the ephemeris for the first time depicted in a more up to date almanac it appears that I made a mistake about the declinations he gave.
So we all learns something every day!
Bugger it!
