Hurricane Advice

Yes, it is on my list of things to look up today. And I want to see what they say as to how the Volcanoes affect the ice.

I think it was an episode of the BBC documentary series "Frozen Planet" that I watched a few weeks ago (definitely remember David Attenborough narration, anyway); it included an exploration of an active volcano in Antarctica, Mount Erebus. Fascinating stuff, indeed.

Here's an interesting image showing how the eye wall replacement cycle happens

It seems the eyewall replacement cycle happens with most high intensity hurricanes. It even weakens them for a short time until the outer eyewall replaces the old inner eyewall and then the hurricane can re-intensify.

I've been up watching live videos on there of Puerto Rico for an hour straight already.

Good morning! I read (again the reading!) several articles this morning about the Ring of Fire volcanoes including the 91 newly discovered ones under the Antarctica.

The Ring of Fire has over 450 volcanoes ( I didn't look to see if this included the 138 now known ones in Antarctica). However, this is supposed to comprise 75% of the world's known volcanoes.

I came away from it with the distinct impression that the melting of the ice from volcanic eruptions is eerily related to the age old questions of "What came first, the chicken or the egg?. Did the volcanoes erupt because of the ice melting first, thus relieving pressure and causing the volcanoes to erupt? Or did the heat from the eruptions cause the melting of the ice?

In any case, the one interesting statement was that the heat generated by the volcanoes was almost the same as the heat generated by the sun on the earth.

I want to see it too! I did watch (or maybe read) one about the New Madrid fault lines a few years ago. Fascinating, albeit scarey stuff.

I'll see if I can find it for you when I get the computer on. My tablet is refusing to work.

Maria is supposed to affect Puerto Rico with over 100 mph winds for MOST of the day.

Kiki & Flash, When we first bought the house in TN, didn't see any point in buying TV for short visits... Never got around to getting TV, when we got here... Don't miss it either. Watch movies with amazon fire and dvds, Internet is the go to medium for current info.
