So the Ohio H5N1 human case actually had respiratory symptoms and was hospitalized. He recovered.
 
What happened to all the news about drones and orbs from a couple months ago? Are they not being sighted anymore?

All these people on Facebook talking about they will never fly again

Maybe finally ticket prices will come down 😜 over an hour security line at Atlanta in October. Worst I had ever seen

I mean an already understaffed vital agency just became even more understaffed , it’s more dangerous than it was that much is true

It’s certainly still safer yes, but there is an argument to be made it’s become a little unsafer… stats will tell the story as the years go on what difference is made

Like the DC plane crash and Philly were even related to ATC... They weren't. DC was because the helicopter pilot was an idiot for whatever reason. Nothing to do with ATC

There is zero common theme between all these incidents is the issue. If it was all ATC I would agree but it's not

Tragically it appears two folks have passed from their injuries.
The ship was drifting backward with no power due to an outage. Note where the stern and bow are. So, it didn’t intend to go toward the Brooklyn Bridge.
 
Has anyone seen any recent (2025) updates on atmospheric water vapor after the Tonga volcanic eruption in 2022? I seem to remember some suggestions the impact (if any) would fade away after a few years. Locally 2022 and 2024 would have been the dryest years on record if not for freak one-off tropical flooding.



“We’ve never seen anything like it,” said Luis Millán, an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. He led a new study examining the amount of water vapor that the Tonga volcano injected into the stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere between about 8 and 33 miles (12 and 53 kilometers) above Earth’s surface.

In the study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, Millán and his colleagues estimate that the Tonga eruption sent around 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – equal to 10% of the water already present in that atmospheric layer. That’s nearly four times the amount of water vapor that scientists estimate the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines lofted into the stratosphere."

TO - EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IN THE STATE OF HAWAII

SUBJECT - TSUNAMI WARNING

A TSUNAMI WARNING IS ISSUED FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII EFFECTIVE AT
0243 PM HST.

AN EARTHQUAKE HAS OCCURRED WITH THESE PRELIMINARY PARAMETERS

ORIGIN TIME - 0125 PM HST 29 JUL 2025
COORDINATES - 52.2 NORTH 160.0 EAST
LOCATION - OFF THE EAST COAST OF KAMCHATKA RUSSIA
MAGNITUDE - 8.7 MOMENT

EVALUATION

A TSUNAMI HAS BEEN GENERATED THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE ALONG
COASTLINES OF ALL ISLANDS IN THE STATE OF HAWAII. URGENT ACTION
SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PROTECT LIVES AND PROPERTY.

A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF LONG OCEAN WAVES. EACH INDIVIDUAL WAVE
CREST CAN LAST 5 TO 15 MINUTES OR MORE AND EXTENSIVELY FLOOD
COASTAL AREAS. THE DANGER CAN CONTINUE FOR MANY HOURS AFTER THE
INITIAL WAVE AS SUBSEQUENT WAVES ARRIVE. TSUNAMI WAVE HEIGHTS
CANNOT BE PREDICTED AND THE FIRST WAVE MAY NOT BE THE LARGEST.
TSUNAMI WAVES EFFICIENTLY WRAP AROUND ISLANDS. ALL SHORES ARE AT
RISK NO MATTER WHICH DIRECTION THEY FACE. THE TROUGH OF A TSUNAMI
WAVE MAY TEMPORARILY EXPOSE THE SEAFLOOR BUT THE AREA WILL
QUICKLY FLOOD AGAIN. EXTREMELY STRONG AND UNUSUAL NEARSHORE
CURRENTS CAN ACCOMPANY A TSUNAMI. DEBRIS PICKED UP AND CARRIED
BY A TSUNAMI AMPLIFIES ITS DESTRUCTIVE POWER. SIMULTANEOUS HIGH
TIDES OR HIGH SURF CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE TSUNAMI HAZARD.

THE ESTIMATED ARRIVAL TIME IN HAWAII OF THE FIRST TSUNAMI WAVE IS

0717 PM HST TUE 29 JUL 2025

FURTHER MESSAGES WILL BE ISSUED HOURLY OR SOONER AS CONDITIONS
WARRANT UNTIL THE THREAT TO HAWAII HAS PASSED.
