You and Finn Pt 2

Warning: Explicit and angsty and love triangles

March 2014

“Love, please. I’m sorry I said all of those things, I’m sorry that I hurt you. I didn’t mean any of it- I’m a fucking wreck right now. I don’t want to lose you. Please, pick up the phone. I love-”

Message deleted.

November 2013

Finn repeats your name like a mantra as his lips trail across your skin. You lay together on his bed, fingers intertwined, your back joined to Finn and his leg hooked over your hip. It’s rare that you both have a day off and are able to enjoy a lazy Sunday like this.

“We should get up,” you murmur, checking the time on your phone. “It’s nearly noon.”

“Hmm… no.” Finn reaches around and palms your breast, tweaking a nipple and parting your hair to the side to kiss your exposed collarbone. “We’re going to spend all day in this bed and I’m going to make you come five million more times.”

You giggle, but persist. “I still have to finalize my lesson plan for tomorrow and do laundry and we’ll probably need to eat eventually.”

“Silly woman, here I am offering you my body and sexual prowess and all you can think about is your job and food and-” Finn’s words are suddenly cut off by a loud growl from his stomach. You both squeal with laughter.

“Eggs?” You ask him and Finn nods eagerly. He lets you go after a mild struggle and you pull on your panties. You’re about to throw on your sweater when he tosses you the button up dress shirt he’d worn the night before. You look up at him in confusion.

“Much hotter, believe me. Leave the top buttons open if you love me.”

You scoff at his request, but put on the shirt and leave the top two buttons undone just the same. “Happy?” you ask him, waving your arms and flashing your cleavage at him theatrically.

“Yes.” Finn’s triumphant grin tells you that he got exactly what he wanted. It isn’t until you really notice the exhilaration in his blue eyes that you realized what he’d said.

You stare at him dumbly, stuttering, something about how did he want his eggs? Finn had told you that he loved you more than a week ago, and while he hadn’t been pressuring you to return the statement he had certainly not kept quiet about it. He would repeat the declaration every so often, often when you were least expecting it.

Finn crashes his lips to yours in a short, charged kiss and gives you a light swat on your bottom. “Kitchen, love. I’m starving.” Whistling cheerily he walks out of the room, and after a moment you follow him.

You get to work right away scrambling a dozen eggs as Finn boils a pot of water and pours it into a French press for your tea. For himself, he brews a pot of strong black coffee. You’re still reflecting about what just happened back in the bedroom that you don’t notice the bread on your plate until you’re sitting next to Finn at the counter.

“Surprise,” he laughs, when absentmindedly you take a bite of the slice of wheat bread and drop it back to your plate in disbelief. “I know you miss having toast with your breakfast when you sleep over, so I picked some up at the grocer’s.”

“You bought bread for me,” you sigh in amazement, and then chuckle. Finn could go through a half-dozen eggs in minutes but had always refused to have any bread in his kitchen before.

Damn it, how could you not fall in love with this man?

Finn is still smiling, as if he knows exactly what you’re thinking.

December 2013

“It’s not that I don’t like you- I actually do, as a matter of fact- but that man you’re with is my best friend, and I want what’s best for him. Right now, you are notthat. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not anything you’re doing, it’s plain bad timing. He’s on the verge of achieving his dream here. That other company won’t give him an inch.

“He’s crazy about you. If you feel the same way about him, you would understand why it’s best to end it now. He will ruin himself if you let him.”

October 2013

You argue it’s too soon, but Finn insists on taking you home with him. It’s your first proper holiday together, and you had excitedly agreed when Finn brought up the idea of making the trip to Ireland. The idea of meeting his family didn’t sink in until you were on the plane and Finn casually mentioned how his family were looking forward to meeting you. “It’s not too soon love,” he assures you, throwing his arm around your shoulder and pressing a kiss to the side of your forehead.

You stand aside and smile awkwardly as Finn’s mother opens the door and immediately showers her son with hugs and kisses. “Gerroff Mum!” Finn blushes and laughs.

“Well, you don’t come home enough and I’m making up for lost time,” she admonishes him. Still beaming, Finn’s mother turns to you. “Lovely girl, look at you!”

“It’s nice to meet you, Mrs.-” You hold your hand out, but Finn’s mother shakes her head and draws you into a hug.

“None of that, dear! I’ll take Leonie or Mum, nothing else. Come in, come in you two, out of the cold now. Dad is in the kitchen taking the roast out and the rest are already at the table- you know how your brothers get if you delay lunch for even just a few- look who’s home! Boys, Amo! Looky, your brother brought a guest. Dear, you sit right by me. Half of my boys are thirty, but there’s no telling if something goes flying around. Up there, next to Amo.”

Quick introductions are made between you and Finn’s brothers and sister. Finn’s dad sets a huge pot of roast down on the table and wraps you in a big bear hug. “I was beginning to think my boy was never going to bring anyone home. Fair play son, you got a fine thing here.”

Finn’s younger brother wolf-whistles at you, and Finn smacks him on the forehead. Finn’s other brother grabs him in a headlock and keeps him in the hold until Finn’s dad intervenes. The brothers are a boisterous bunch, and you’re glad Finn’s mother sits you between herself and Finn’s sister. It should have been a given that you feel like an outsider in such a tight-knit family unit, but they all take turns asking you questions and telling you stories about Finn.

“This is a wonderful town to raise children in. Have you thought about having children?” (”Dad, leave her alone!” - Finn)

“You know your fella keeps these stacks of girly comics under his bed with his wrestling magazines. I’ll show you if you’d like.” (”Feck off Eoin!”- Finn)

You meet Finn’s eyes across the table at every comment, his looks ranging from stifled laughter to mortified. He shakes his head at you incredulously when his older brother loudly starts listing the names of all of his Secondary School girlfriends. You wink back at him.

As they say he hadn’t been home in months, Finn’s siblings heckle him into doing the washing up. You go to help him, but in no uncertain terms, Finn’s mother asks you to take a walk outside with her “to help with my digestion. It’s not wise for an old girl like me to be eating big meals like this anymore.”

“Mum,” Finn calls out in a warning tone, but his mother shoots him a sly look and gently prods you outside. Her voice is still kind, but Finn’s mother gets straight down to business.

“You know, my Finn is the most tenderhearted of my boys. The sweetest of the bunch. I hope you know that, dear.” You nod. “All these years, he tells me all he’s doing is his wrestling until about a few weeks ago when he told me you were coming home with him. His dad and I were shocked you know, he really hasn’t brought anyone to meet us since school.

“I wasn’t very welcome to the idea. When he called, he said that you and him have only been seeing each other for some weeks and I told him, ‘do not bring this girl home if you’re not serious about her.’ But he told me ‘I am, Mum.’ He has a good head, but I wasn’t sure if my son was telling me the truth. But now, seeing the two of you together… I’m glad he brought you home.” Finn’s mother stops walking, and she hugs you again, more warmly than before. “ I’m getting on you know, and so is his dad and we want to get a bit of time with all of our grandkids.”

The idea of having children with Finn catches you off guard and you began stammering that it was a topic you and Finn hadn’t talked about yet. Finn’s mother laughs and dismisses your weak protests. “Just a matter of time. I see you love my son.” It’s not a question. “I’m going to frighten you a bit more, dear. I saved the dress I wore when I married Finn’s father. We’ll have to take it in and let it out here and there, but you would be perfect in it.”

April 2014

“Finn,” you gasp. You stare at him disbelievingly when you open your front door, unable to believe it’s actually him on your doorstep.

Finn holds up his hand. “Just wait. I want you to know it’s taking all of my willpower not to take you in my arms right now and kiss the hell out of you, but I want you to hear me out first. Will you do that for me?”

You hesitate for a long moment, then step aside to let Finn into your apartment. Showing him into the living room, you invite him to sit on the sofa and you take the opposite armchair. Finn watches you wring your hands in your lap as you think of something to say.

“Do you want some tea? Water?” You offer. You can’t stand the silence, the tension in the air, how Finn glowers at you.

“No.” Finn looks over you, observing how deliberately you distance yourself from him. You’re fidgeting, eyes wandering everywhere but in Finn’s direction. “You cut your hair.”

“Yeah.” You run your hand through your shorter locks. “Better for this climate.”

“It looks good on you.” Finn licks his lips.

You feel yourself flush. You tuck your hair behind your ear and change the subject “How are your parents?”

“They’re well. Mum was disappointed you didn’t come for Easter. Yours?”

“They’re happy I’m closer to home.” Nervously, you ask him, “Did you tell your mother what happened between us?”

“No, but I’m sure she’s guessed. She’s good at knowing when I’ve fucked up.” He chuckles bitterly.

“Finn…” There were so many things you wanted to say to him- everything you wanted to say to him in the months you’ve been apart- but the words don’t come out.

Finn is quietly fuming, his fingers tapping the shoulder of the chair. His shoulders are tense. “Do you miss being with me at all?” he asks you abruptly.

Tears spring to your eyes. “Of course I do.”

“Who’s the guy you’ve been seeing?”

It was the question you’d been dreading. “Does it matter?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“I want to kick his ass.”

“What?” You scoff. “Don’t joke.”

Finn isn’t smiling. “I’m not joking. I’d very much like to kick the ass of the man who’s screwing my girlfriend.”

“Finn, you’re being ridiculous.”

He explodes. “Why won’t you just tell me who you’re fucking!”

Those blue eyes always looked at you with love before. You still saw remnants of love there, but it was clouded by hurt and anger. “No one,” you whisper.

“What?”

“I’m not dating anyone. I thought that if I told you I was with someone… it would be easier.”

Finn’s voice is full of derision. “So what, you lied to me? Thought I’d take it easier if you said you were with someone else? Because that made it worse- thinking of someone, anyone else with his hands on you- it makes my skin crawl.”

“I didn’t lie to you. I’ve met someone, but he-we haven’t done anything. I won’t let him.”

“You’re lying!”

“I’m not! I really wish I could move on because this guy is fantastic- he’s kind and passionate and funny- just like you! I can’t move on because I can’t fucking stop thinking about you, Finn!”

Finn stands up and marches towards you swiftly. Before you can react, he cups your face and tilts your chin up. After such a long time, the feel of his hands on your jaw is electrifying, cutting off your every single thought. Your eyes flutter close as his mouth brushes yours, and you feel so weak you lean into him for support. Your lips open for him hungrily.

Finn pulls you to your feet from the chair, his hands moving from your face to your waist. You rake your fingers over the hard muscles of his back, then reaching for the hem of his shirt, pull it over his head. “Oh god,” you whisper, kissing his chest and stomach and automatically you’re on your knees, pulling at his belt and the zipper on his khakis.

Finn hisses when your hand closes over his cock, stroking him and taking him into your mouth. His fingers fists in your hair, keeping it from falling on your face. “Fuck,” he moans, thrusting softly into your mouth. At this, you gag and Finn quickly checks on you in concern. Your eyes stare back at him heatedly even as your lips bob around his cock.

Knowing he would come if you continued, Finn forces you back to your feet and turning you away from him, pushes you over the arm of the chair on your stomach. He pulls down the waistband of your shorts and feels the lips of your pussy. Seeing how wet you already are, Finn pushes your panties to the side and enters you swiftly, grunting at the feel of you around his cock.

“Finn!” you cry, your voice strangled. His movements are urgent, the movements of his hand on your clit precise. He smacks your rear cheek as he rides you. There is none of his usual sweetness, nor could you call it lovemaking. He was fucking you.

Your climax comes quickly, coursing through you in waves and waves of euphoria that leaves you woozy. Finn doesn’t last much longer, his fingers leaving indentations on your skin when he grips your hips. His satisfaction is quiet and almost guilty. You surprise Finn when you turn your face towards him for a slow and lasting kiss.

“I have a meeting with the head of talent here,” he tells you. “I fly out to Stamford tomorrow.”

“Oh.” That changes things.

July 2014

“I cleared out half the closet and some drawers for your clothes. If you need more room, we’ll probably have to shop for a bigger dresser, it’s a tight fit already.” You unlock the door to the apartment. “I have two sets of keys, but I gave the other to the neighbor upstairs in case of emergencies so we’ll have to share until we can make a trip to the hardware store for a copy.”

“I didn’t bring much with me.” Finn’s nose wrinkles as he stares around the living room. You watch him, worrying that he doesn’t like the apartment.

“I know it’s small, but it’s close to work and school and it will be an easy drive for you to the PC. We didn’t pass it on the drive here, but we’re also really close to ponds and lakes which help with the heat somewhat and also hiking paths and the woods are-”

“Love, it’s great. Really.” Finn smiles at you, but it doesn’t help to make you feel more at ease. “Do you want to give me the grand tour?”

You show him where things are stored in the kitchen and the linens in the hallway closet and the bathroom and to the bedroom, helping him with bringing his bags outside. Awkwardly, you watch as he starts unzipping his bags. “Would you like help putting away your things?” You hear yourself, and think you sound like a flight attendant. Finn shakes his head at your offer. “Okay, well I’m just going to take a quick shower, just yell if you need anything.”

You spend a moment deciding whether or not to lock the bathroom door and ultimately decide to keep it unlocked before undressing. You didn’t know why you were acting so strangely around Finn. Within a few weeks of when you had first started dating, you had practically lived at Finn’s apartment but here… it felt different. Like you didn’t know each other. You step into the shower, standing still under the showerhead and letting the droplets rain on your face.

The sound of the water drowns out the sound of the door sliding open. Finn’s arms circles your waist, and you flinch when you feel his hands on your stomach.

“Wow,” Finn breathes, “you really don’t want me here, do you?”

“No!” you quickly deny. “It’s not that. Finn, I’m really happy you’re here.” You turn to face him, unable to articulate your discomfort. “I can’t describe it, it just feels… It’s not like it was before.”

“Maybe. But we’re the same people.” Finn puts his arms around you again, and this time you let him. “And I love you.”

You smile, but don’t reply. You respond to Finn’s kisses and submit to his touch but in the back of your mind you’re thinking about that other man you let go of and wondering how it would be if-

Spiritually, I’m a bit odd. I surround myself with witches, Pagans, polytheists, and Jung-inspired New Age diviners because my beliefs and practices share things in common with all of them, but I don’t fully belong in anybody’s camp. The reasons why are many, but one of the central ones is the Wheel of the Year. Even if it’s just setting intentions on the Full Moon, pretty much everyone in these groups does something to honor the cycles of the sun and moon. Astrology is central to my practice, and the Wheel of the Year is built into the Zodiac wheel. You’d think that the Wheel of the Year would be central to my practice, too, but I’ve, frankly, really struggled with it.

I’ve told lots of stories about why this is over the years. One of the more enduring is that I don’t like the story the Wheel is built on. The versions of the Wheel I’ve seen that have any depth are built on the idea of the sacrifice and rebirth of a/the god. I left Christianity because I couldn’t abide the idea of celebrating sacrifice. If I’m going to replace Jesus with John Barleycorn, I may as well go back to the Episcopal Church and enjoy the wine and climate control.

This story is true, but I keep worrying at it, as if that isn’t enough of a reason. When I lived in California, I said that it didn’t feel right to pretend that the seasons in San Francisco are anything like the seasons in England, and the Wheel is too rooted in the climate of Northern Europe. When I moved to a place where the sun changes in a much more dramatic way, I said that I was too Aquarian to want to do anything by anyone else’s schedule.

Lately, I’ve started to think that my relationship with the thing is more complicated. There are plenty of things I don’t like and don’t incorporate into my practice. I make a decision, and I don’t think about it anymore. If I’m still thinking about the Wheel after all of these years, there must be something there that calls me.

More central to my spirituality than even my beliefs and practices are pattern recognition and pragmatism. Labels and practices come and go, but I always pay attention to what’s going on around me, and I always do the thing that works.

One of the ways I foster pattern recognition in my life is by keeping a line-a-day journal. Tools like that can be invaluable for pattern recognition if you make note of when seemingly random things happen, like when you get sick.

I have been keeping a line-a-day journal for four years now, and I noticed as I filled out my entries that my partner and I always get sick at the exact same time in January. Curious, I dug into why that that might be, and I discovered that the sunlight in Oregon doesn’t contain enough UV between November and February to synthesize vitamin D. The amount of vitamin D bottoms out in December, so people tend to get sick in January.

My partner always gets sick before I do, and I was determined to avoid what he had, so I filled my body with healing herbs and vitamin C. I was able to get through while he was sick, but as soon as he went back to work, I collapsed. My body was exhausted from fighting off the virus, and I found that my attempts to use the remedies I knew to keep fighting were completely ineffective and even made me feel worse.

The turning point came when I discovered this post on kitchari mindbodygreen. Ayurveda isn’t generally part of my lifestyle, but the idea of food that was nourishing and easy to digest really drew me. I made myself a pot of kitchari and set some water on to simmer with cumin, fennel, and coriander. With the first bite followed by the first sip of spicy tea, I felt my body relax. That was the turning point in my sickness: the moment when I stopped fighting the sickness and started focusing instead on nourishing my body.

As I’m writing this, it’s one of those rare perfectly sunny days in Portland. I was just feeling well enough at around noon to step outside and enjoy the sunshine. The UV index says that the sun isn’t strong enough to give me vitamin D, but the gentle light had just enough warmth to it to feel kind. Scientists might say the sunshine is useless at this time of year, but I could feel that there was something gently healing in it, even if I wasn’t getting any of that precious vitamin.

As I walked up and down along the stone path in my backyard, soaking up what virtue I could from the winter sun, I realized that my struggle with this sickness and my kitchari epiphany were just on time… according to the Wheel of the Year.

Imbolc is in a few days. It is supposed to be a time of cleansing. While I was reading up on what people have been saying about the holiday lately before writing this, I noticed that there’s a trend toward aggressiveness when it comes to the cleansing of Imbolc. Clean your house from top to bottom. Douse everything in bleach. The implication is that you’re not doing it right unless you’re exhausted and unhappy and your house is sterile. It’s hard not to see this as a natural expression of a cycle that’s rooted in sacrifice, even if Imbolc is supposed to be part of the rebirth part of the cycle.

Without being mindful of the season, I got sucked into that harsh mindset trying to keep my sickness at bay, but, if you look at the traditional symbolism, Imbolc isn’t about fighting dirt. It’s the celebration of the beginning of lambing season, the blooming of blackthorn, the appearance of tiny new growing things. This is not a time for aggressive cleansing. This is a time for gentleness and nourishment. It’s the first sip of fresh sheep’s milk after a season of aged cheese. It’s the first hint of warmth in the sun. It’s the appearance of the first edible green herbs filled with the vitamins that are so hard to get in the winter in cold climates. It’s the first day when you can open a window for a few minutes without freezing to death.

This kinder, more life-affirming and humane side of Imbolc is present in the traditional symbolism, but it gets lost. Is it a fault in the cycle itself? Is it because the culture I live in is so harsh and aggressive? Is the aggressive fighting a natural consequence of the desperateness for light and warmth that everyone feels this time of year?

If that’s so, I wonder if my ancestors celebrated Imbolc because it is so hard to remember to be gentle and nourish yourself at this time of year. Call it vitamin D deficiency or the human need for light, but we’ve been fighting winter for months now. We don’t have the strength to keep fighting anymore, but the weather and the habit of fighting make the ways of nourishment and healing hard to see. In so many ways we’re still in the throes of winter in the North, but nourishment is can be found, whether it comes from herbs you gathered yourself or from a spicy pot of rice and beans. Brigid is a goddess of healing, and Imbolc is her day. I wonder if the day itself and its nourishing symbols are supposed to be part of her medicine.

It makes me wonder if this is the root of my problem with the Wheel of the Year. My aversion to sacrifice has made me so intent on fighting it that I’ve lost touch with the observation and pragmatism at the heart of my practice. I’m going to remember this and keep my eyes open as the Wheel turns this year. Maybe 2019 will be the year when I finally make peace or actually put aside the Wheel of the Year.

Texas Facing High Energy Hurricane Season

New Post has been published on http://www.texaselectricityratings.com/blog/2020/05/08/texas-facing-high-energy-hurricane-season/

Texas Facing High Energy Hurricane Season

Stormy weather is on the way! While Texas electricity customers could likely experience power outages, they should prepare for much worse this summer.

Prepare Now for a Busy 2020 Hurricane Season

The 2020 hurricane season will officially begin one month from now on June 1. And since this year’s winter was one of the warmest in North America without the help of an El Niño, Texas residents might see the impact of at least one tropical storm this summer.

As if Covid-19 wasn’t enough to contend with…

The annual hurricane season spans the period from June 1 to November 30. However, tropical storms can develop outside those months with some as early as January and others as later as December.

Though the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) National Hurricane Center doesn’t release their annual hurricane forecast until the end of May, several other hurricane forecasts come out each April. These are released by meteorological researchers at the Department of Atmospheric Science Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State, Accuweather, Topical Storm Risk at the Department of Space and Climate Physics at University College London, and the Weather Company.

Hurricane Predictions, 2020

NOAA Prediction CSU Prediction Accuweather Prediction Weather Co Prediction TSR Prediction Seasonal Average 1981-2010 Number of named storms (winds 39 mph+) N/A 16 14-18 18 16 12 Storms becoming hurricanes (winds 74 mph+) N/A 8 7-9 9 8 6 Major hurricanes (Cat. 3, 4 or 5, winds 111 mph+) N/A 4 2-4 4 3 3

Colorado State released its annual hurricane forecast back on April 2 saying they expect “above-normal activity”. In addition, they stated, “We anticipate an above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean.” They also added there is a 44% chance for one major storm to come ashore along the Gulf coast stretching from the Florida Panhandle all the way to Brownsville, TX.

Accuweather predicts an “above-average activity” and predicts 2-4 impacts on the U.S. coast.

Weather Co. sees a season “more active than usual” and adds the dire warning that “there is still some upside to these numbers, and that a ‘hyperactive season’ like we had in 2010 and 2017 is still in play.” The 2010 hurricane season saw 19 tropical storms with 12 becoming hurricanes. The 2017 hurricane season spun up 17 tropical storms, 10 of which became hurricanes and included major storms Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate.

Tropical Storm Risk. com (TSR) calls for “above-norm activity” and that there may be more late-season season storms, noting “environmental fields in August-September 2020 that are more favourable for Atlantic hurricane activity than thought previously. ”

Very Active Atlantic Hurricane Season

So, the consensus see an active if not very active storm season ahead: 14 to 18 tropical storms with at least 7 becoming full sized hurricanes, and 2 to 4 of those will be major. Storm ferocity aside, with these numbers it’s safe to say that Texas electricity customers could likely experience power outages related to at least one of these storms this summer.

It’s important to bear in mind that the Seasonal Average (1981-2010) for tropical storms is 12 with 6 becoming full sized hurricanes. But like any weather forecast, conditions can change. For example, the 2019 hurricane season was originally forecast to be near-normal. It started out quiet with only two storms in spite of a very warm Atlantic. It stayed quiet only until August 8 when the El Niño faded out. That brought an almost-sudden change within one week when storms began rising out in the eastern Atlantic and Caribbean. By November, there had been a total of 16 tropical storms, 5 of which were hurricanes, and 3 of those major ones.

So why so many hurricanes expected this year?

Why El Niño Affects Atlantic Hurricanes

The key to the sudden eruption of storms last year was that while the Atlantic was full of very warm water, the El Niño early last summer produced enough puff cause wind shearing in the western Atlantic. However, once the El Niño faded out, the storms came quickly. During the few storms that made landfall in the US, some residential electricity customers in the southeastern US went without power for days.

This year, there’s no El Niño at all.

El Niño, or El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) as it’s technically known, occurs in the Pacific Ocean when a layer of warm water that is normally west of the international date line shifts eastward at the equator toward South America. The warm water warms the atmosphere and shifts the Walker Circulation eastward. When the Walker Circulation shifts eastward, it increases the likelihood of down-rushing wind shears over the western Atlantic and Caribbean —right into the cradle of Atlantic hurricanes. Hurricanes operate by moving warm, moist air up through their center but they need calm winds to stay organized. El Niño wind shears blow vertically across their rotating structure. This disperses their heat until the hurricane falls apart. It’s almost like standing over a candle and blowing it out.

Why No El Niño This Year?

Generally, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the ENSO monitoring zones roughly need to be consistently .5°C above average or higher to start affecting atmosphere circulation. This year in the Nino 3.4 region (about mid-Pacific), SSTs have been consistently above-normal since October but fluctuating between .2 and .9 Celsius above normal (“bubbling” about .5°C). However, all that fluctuation may have missed linking up with Pacific wind patterns that typically cause the shift into an El Niño.

Instead, we have what’s called ENSO Neutral (or “La Nada”). During summer, La Niña and ENSO Neutral conditions can shift the Walker Circulation westward so that instead of wind shear blowing down in the western Atlantic, there’s more likely to be little vertical wind shear and lots of nice, calm air— which is the very stuff hurricanes thrive on.

Forecasters are also predicting that this current ENSO neutral condition could go cold in the autumn and change to a La Niña. And since that will affect your Texas electricity usage, we’ll take that up later.

How Warm Water Affects Hurricanes

The second factor at work is that there’s LOTS and LOTS of warm water in the Main Development Region (MDR) of the tropical Atlantic. The MDR spans the tropical Atlantic Ocean from west Africa to the Caribbean. When sea surface temperatures (SSTs) get above 80°F (26.5°C) it creates a dangerous bath water. The combination of heat and evaporating sea water rising into the air pulls in more air and heat behind it, increasing the potential for tropical storm formation.

Current Atlantic basin SSTs between the equator and north into the Gulf of Mexico are above-average for this time of year, running about 78° to 80°F. There’s much warmer water off the coast of west Africa stretching west to the Caribbean. Just off the U.S. east coast, SSTs are in the 70s. NOAA’s Global Climate Report for March said that Atlantic sea-surface temperatures were at record-warm levels.

—And it’s only May.

Considering the effects of so much warm water in the Atlantic MDR and the low likelihood of strong wind shearing in the western Atlantic, there seems a high probability that there will be an above-average Atlantic hurricane season and that at least one storm will hit the U.S.

Where, when, and what strength that storm will be is impossible to say. But, as the annual warning goes, it only takes one tropical storm to cause a tragedy. So, it’s best for Texas residents to get prepared.

How To Prepare For A Hurricane

For coastal residents, an above average hurricane season means there’s a good chance they will need to evacuate at some point this summer. That’s especially true for Texas and other Gulf coast states where storm surges have a history bringing flood waters 10 to 24 feet deep. Because both storm surge and rising high-tide levels are exerting increasing impacts on coastal flooding events, NOAA has unveiled some useful new prediction tools this season, including a map showing expected storm surge inundation values for the United States Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

For those who live further inland, high winds, tornados, and flooding are all potential dangers. Flash flooding is extremely dangerous in areas like central and west Texas and in the Appalachian states where rain-fall in steep-sided river valleys can flood entire towns in moments. That’s why we want all Texas energy customersto know what to do this hurricane season.

How Can I Prepare for Hurricane Season?

Hurricanes and other kinds of powerful storms can hit any state in the U.S. There was even a Super Derecho in 2009 that on radar actually resembled a hurricane over Kansas and Missouri. The most important thing you need to do is to have a plan for keeping your family safe. Start preparing to weather the worst storm safely now.

1 Make a plan so your family knows for what to do when a tropical storm comes your way.

2 Make a Hurricane Safety Checklist to help you keep track of how to prepare and what supplies you’ll need if you choose to shelter in place.

3 Build your hurricane kit.

4 Gather essential stuff for your grab ‘n’ go bag. Each person and pet should have their own.

5 Understand Texas evacuation routes ahead of time. Make arrangements well ahead of time where you’ll go to in the event of an evacuation order.

6 If you know someone who might need assistance during a disaster, please register now for the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR), a free registry that provides local emergency planners and responders with additional information about needs in their communities.

Six Years of Photos from Mars Rover Curiosity Offer Breathtaking Views of the Red Planet

Curiosity Self-Portrait on Mars, 2015. © NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS.

Six Earth years ago, Curiosity made her spectacular landing on Mars, starting her mission to find evidence that the red planet could have once hosted microbial life. Some 13,500 viewers tuned in to watch the unmanned rover’s nail-biting descent, which required the Mini Cooper-sized vehicle to perform maneuvers that had only been tested in computer simulations. She needed to slow down from 13,000 miles per hour and touch down, unharmed, inside the Gale Crater.

Curiosity’s resilience has been a hallmark of her expedition, blowing past the expected two-year mission length to continue to send us fascinating information today about our mysterious celestial neighbor. The rover’s 17 cameras—which range from eight black-and-white, obstacle-avoiding Hazcams to her selfie-happy, high-resolution MAHLI camera—are instrumental to navigating, investigating, and documenting her surroundings on Mars.

Questions aside about whether or not a robot can take aesthetically pleasing photographs, Curiosity, directed by a team of NASA scientists, does capture imagery that is both critical to NASA’s work and intriguing for casual stargazers. And, like a professional image-maker, the rover-slash-photographer has a post-production team at NASA that composites her captures to show wider views of the planet (though Curiosity’s Mastcams can automatically stitch 150 images into a panoramic view).

Curiosity’s findings so far have resulted in breakthroughs in showing us what water on Mars would have looked like billions of years ago. A month after landing, she documented three sites on the planet where gravel in exposed bedrock was likely once transported through tumultuous streams—a conclusion that was made based on the roundness of the stones. Her photos have also revealed that the Gale Crater, once a lakebed, likely went through dry periods where the water receded. And just this past June, thanks to her investigation, NASA announced that the ancient lake once contained complex organic molecules. The rover has also confirmed the presence of methane in the air, which, because of the molecule’s lifespan of only a few hundred years, means there must be an ongoing source, most likely deep under the planet’s surface.

“It’s incredibly exciting, because it shows that Mars is an active planet today,” said Caltech planetary scientist and Mars expert Bethany Ehlmann, in a National Geographic article from June, about Curiosity’s molecular findings. “It’s not cold and dead—it’s perhaps hovering right on the edge of habitability.”

So far, Curiosity has only traversed a little over 12 miles to make these discoveries, journeying five miles from the Bradbury Landing point to the base of Mount Sharp, which is located centrally in the Gale Crater. In September 2014, she began inspecting the lower level of Mount Sharp, and today, she continues to sample its rocky layers as she makes a slow ascent. NASA investigators hope that Curiosity will reveal through these samples how the planet’s climate has changed. And despite an active six-week global dust storm that has entirely altered Mars’s appearance, the nuclear-powered rover has persevered (her solar-powered sibling, Opportunity, has been put to sleep), sampling and documenting the Vera Rubin Ridge, where she is currently located, looking for soft rocks to drill.

For those who want to keep tabs on the little rover that could, NASA continues to provide regular updates on Curiosity’s path and activities, as well as new additions to her image gallery. For the more dedicated fandom, as well as robotics teachers looking to bring Curiosity to the classroom, engineers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have just released the Open Source Rover, a smaller Curiosity-inspired rover that anyone can build (though it will cost about $2,500 to do so).

Until a successful manned mission to Mars is undertaken, NASA scientists will continue to rely on rovers like Curiosity to send back data and images. Curiosity is helping to plan for those future trips, measuring how much radiation a human explorer could expect to be exposed to during a round-trip expedition (her findings show that an 860-day trip will radiate a human slightly more than the lifetime limit that the European Space Agency has implemented for its astronauts). For now, we have Curiosity’s photographs; some pivotal images from the past six years are listed below.

Named after Canada’s Hottah Lake, Curiosity took this photo of bedrock—likely exposed and tilted due to a meteorite impact—using its Mastcam telephoto lens on September 14, 2012 (or Sol 39, Mars’s 39th solar day). NASA scientists believe the round gravel pieces cemented in the sedimentary conglomerate were carried by water flow akin to a desert flash flood on Earth.

Yellowknife Bay Formation

This 111-image panorama, photographed with Curiosity’s Mastcam on December 24, 2012 (Sol 137), shows Yellowknife Bay, a geological depression within Gale Crater, with Sheepbed mudstone in the foreground. The rocks reveal the ancient lake and stream deposits that signify that this area could have once supported microbial life.

Rocknest Billion-Pixel Landscape

This 1.3-billion-pixel composite of the Rocknest site, where Curiosity collected dust and sand samples, comprises 896 images shot with three of her cameras over several days in October and November 2012. Curiosity took 850 color images with her Mastcam telephoto lens, 21 color images with her Mastcam wider-angle lens, and 25 black-and-white images with one of her Navcams. The color images were not white-balanced, showing lighting conditions as they were on Mars.

Mount Sharp Buttes

The buttes and layers near the base of Mount Sharp can be seen in this composite, created with images photographed on September 7, 2013 (Sol 387). The colors were adjusted to the daytime lighting of Earth, though some tint was left to show the effect of Martian dust in the air.

Strata at Mount Sharp Base

The strata—layers of rocks of the ground—in this panorama, photographed by Curiosity from the Kimberly formation on March 25, 2014 (Sol 580), is pictured dipping toward the base of Mount Sharp. According to NASA, this indicates that water once flowed toward a basin before the greater part of Mount Sharp was fully formed. This image was white-balanced to help geologists study the strata.

Downwind Side of Namib Sand Dune

This stereogram, which can be viewed in 3D with red-blue glasses, shows the downwind side of the 13-foot-tall Namib Sand Dune, located in the Bagnold Dunes, photographed on December 17, 2015 (Sol 1,196). The Bagnold Dunes have been observed to move up to one yard per Earth year due to Mars’s wind. Like on Earth, wind-facing dune surfaces ripple while the downwind side, sheltered from the wind, forms a steep slope called a “slip face.”

Curiosity Selfie in Murray Buttes

Curiosity snapped the 60-odd images in this selfie composite with the MAHLI camera on September 17, 2016 (Sol 1,463) and September 20, 2016 (Sol 1,466) while drilling at the Quela site in Murray Buttes, located on lower Mount Sharp. In the scene, the darker M12 mesa, which is 23 feet higher than the rocks behind Curiosity, can be seen in the distance.

Possible Evidence of Mud Drying

Possible Evidence of Mud Drying, 2016. Photo by Curiosity. © NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS.

On December 20, 2016 (Sol 1,555), Curiosity took these composited photos at Squid Cove that show polygon shapes on mudstone that may have been cracks drying in the mud over 3 billion years ago. The formations support the theory that the Gale Crater lake may have undergone drying periods. Taken with the Mastcam, the image was white-balanced to the lighting conditions of daytime Earth.

Bagnold Dune Ripples

Photographed over March 24 and 25, 2017 (Sol 1,647), at Ogunquit Beach, this white-balanced scene of the Bagnold Dunes, taken from a 360-degree panorama shot with Curiosity’s Mastcam, shows dark sand ripples with crests several feet apart, much wider than what has been observed in sand dunes on Earth. Overlaid on the wider ripples, smaller ripples, with crests around 10 times closer together, can be seen. Bedrock from the Murray formation, which was once lakebed sediment, is visible in the foreground, as well as gravel on the right.

Duluth Drilling Before and During Dust Storm

This site marks the first location where Curiosity was able to drill after engineers spent more than a year trying to fix a damaged motor, resulting in a new drilling technique called Feed Extended Drilling (FED). The 2-inch-deep hole was photographed with Curiosity’s Mastcam on May 21, 2018 (Sol 2,058), and again on June 17, 2018, during the global Martian dust storm. The bright red color of the dust-storm image is due in part to the longer exposure required to take the image, but primarily because of the green- and blue-light-blocking dust cloud.

Hey Donald Trump, this is the difference between climate and weather

Someone needs a science lesson.

Image: Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP/REX/Shutterstock

By Keith Wagstaff2017-12-29 01:12:47 UTC

No, Donald. Just ... no.

The president of the United States sent out an irresponsible and flat-out wrong tweet on Thursday that shows his total ignorance on the issue of climate change.

In case you hadn't heard, it's very cold in the Midwest and Northeast U.S. and parts of Canada. Here's what Donald Trump had to say about it:

In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2017

Let's examine why this tweet is such a mess, shall we?

First of all, Trump has confused climate and weather. As NASA so helpfully explained, weather is the way the atmosphere behaves in the short-term. Is it cold and raining outside your window? That's the weather.

Now, consider the weather in an area over a period of years or decades or centuries. That long-term pattern is the climate. So, just because it's colder than usual in your city this week doesn't mean it's not trending warmer over time.

And the science proves that the Earth is getting warmer. Globally, 2017 is set to be one of the five warmest years on record. The warmest on record is 2016. Before that it was 2015, and before that was 2014. You get the picture.

And yeah, it's likely to be frigid on New Year's Eve in the Northeast. But it won't be colder than usual everywhere. Here's a global map of temperatures from today.

Global temperature departures from average on Dec. 28, 2017.

Image: Climate Reanalyzer

The red doesn't mean it's hot — those areas are just experiencing milder than usual temperatures. And even if it was scorching hot everywhere, that's only data from a single day, not over time. So no, this map doesn't show climate change. It just shows that temperatures aren't colder than average across the globe today, but the U.S. is currently experiencing the most unusually cold weather on the planet right now, which is notable from a weather standpoint.

Trump's tweet also grossly mischaracterizes the Paris Climate Agreement, which committed countries to take voluntary emissions reductions in order to keep global warming "well below" 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, above average through the year 2100. The U.S. was not required to pay trillions of dollars under the agreement, and every country on Earth aside from the U.S. is moving forward with implementing it.

Trump's own administration published a climate study in November that found that global annually averaged surface air temperatures have increased by about 1 degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, during the past 115 years.

"This period is now the warmest in the history of modern civilization," the report states. It also said (original emphasis included):

"This assessment concludes, based on extensive evidence, that it is extremely likely that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, are the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.

For the warming over the last century, there is no convincing alternative explanation supported by the extent of the observational evidence."

Climate change is real. Whether Trump is just being ignorant or irresponsible is the only real unknown factor here.
