I just saw one of those (well smaller cousin but still very large) go by on the back of a truck.

If it helps, here in WA State my horses have not grown thick coats at all. Still quite mild, actually. Wooly bears have had normal amounts of fur too.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 11:38 am I still check the caterpillars to see how thick their fur is! I haven't seen any so far, though.

It might help if your horses were in PA.

Yesterday's 16cm hail in Yalboroo, Queensland is a new Australian record. The previous record was 14cm, observed in south-east Qld last year. The atmosphere was extremely unstable, which allowed hail to continue growing before gravity forced it to the ground.

Re: Weather Alerts
The Bay Area has been enjoying a lot of rain today. Almost 1½ inches where I'm at, with another inch or so possible by morning. High winds earlier, but those have died down.
After months of smoke and hot, dry weather, waking up to the sound of rain this morning was wonderful.

My go-to youtube for a restless night is a rain with distance thunder cast.

Re: Weather Alerts
Every September or so, Shen Yun rolls into town and their commercials inundate the teevee machines for a month or two. It lasts forever because they usually play dates in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose.
It's often accompanied by protest because Shen Yun is an arm of the Falun Gong cult.

Ah, thanks. Being culturally retarded, I need a little extra explanation sometimes.

How windy was it in the Bay Area yesterday? This clip from the Richmond-San Rafael bridge is a good illustration.

I’ve seen warnings to drivers of high-profile vehicles during high winds for this reason.

Ive seen the warnings, too. I’ve never actually seen it happen, though.

Re: Weather Alerts
They close the Pontchartrain Causeway bridge to trucks of any kind for high wind warnings. If a truck gets blown over on that bridge, it winds up in the lake because the walls are only about 3' high.

Re: Weather Alerts
I hate November.
All the leaves are dying. It's getting colder day by day. The nights are getting longer. I have to grow in my winter feathers.
I want my summer back.
