I'm not really sure of the correct protocol, after coming here from ATS, but I just felt it was polite to say Hi!

Why the 1913 White Hurricane was one of Michigan’s worst natural disasters


I am more or less a weather nerd.  Even though I am very far from being an expert.  And I live in the MidWest. 
Not a bad place to live, but Michigan has one of the worst track records for power outages.  And  that probably has a LOT to do with my interest in weather....
Imagine if you will if that storm would hit Michigan and the Midwest TODAY!!?!?

Quote:In early November in 1913, Michigan was hit by a massive winter storm that, over the course of several days, killed 250 people. A dozen shipwrecks occurred during the storm, particularly on November 9 from 6 p.m. to midnight. Blizzard conditions and powerful winds lashed the state, and historical information shows us that the unique nature of the storm caught people off-guard.

From Nov. 7-10 in 1913, a storm system impacted Michigan and the Great Lakes region. This storm was the result of two different low-pressure systems, one from the Northern Plains and one from near the East Coast, merging over Lake Huron. This caused the new, combined low-pressure center to rapidly intensify, bringing powerful winds and heavy snowfall. Over a foot of snow was recorded in the eastern U.P. and northeastern Lower Peninsula, with other areas in the state receiving 3-6 inches of snow. In Cleveland, Ohio, almost 2 feet of snow fell during the storm, causing power to be knocked out for several days. Heavy snowfall over the lakes caused whiteout conditions.[/color]

This is not my normal type of article to post.  But when I cam across this info, I had to share it.  I am assuming this is not some propaganda put out by the CCP.  But you be the judge.

Quote:In a groundbreaking technological leap, China has revealed the world's fastest internet speed service, reaching a remarkable 1.2 terabits per second. Unveiled at Tsinghua University, this achievement is part of China's Future Internet Technology Infrastructure (FITI) project, showcasing a collaboration between the university, China Mobile, Huawei Technologies, and CERNET.com Corporation.
The "backbone network," operational since July, covers a 3,000-kilometer fiber-optic network connecting Beijing, Wuhan, and Guangzhou. Contrary to expert predictions, this ultra-high-speed network defies expectations, providing speeds faster than the world's existing internet backbone networks at 100 gigabits and surpassing the United States fifth-generation Internet2 with a minimum speed of 400 gigabits per second

No clever title here, just a thread to share songs that entertain, inspire or just to share.

Enjoy!!
