6. Meteorology is so interesting.

It is one of the professions that will need more people in the future, along with insurance people and eye doctors. This is due to climate change (weather and $) and hand held devices (eye strain).

11. That's seriously terrifying.

Zoom out at bit, so the East Coast is visible. There should be a strong, green line blowing up the East Coast starting around Bermuda (goes with the Gulf Stream current.) It blows a lot of heat into the far northern hemisphere. Instead, most of that heat is going into the Gulf of Mexico. More heat = more energy = worse storms.

What's developing off of California between CA and HI? Looks like a baby storm.

Also, the Roaring Forties look like they're really roaring this year.
