Yes, I guess we are finally getting a break as well. Monday was 107 and a storm came in and now it’s 88 but tomorrow going back up to 95 and the humidity is a killler. I am not staying to live through this shit another summer . I got a call for a job in Palm Springs Ca that sounds great but after seeing and looking at their summer temps there is no way in hell I will move there. They had like three days Or more with temps at 121 and 122 and many days at 116, 117, 118, 119 degrees. I feel sorry for the people that live there and they seem desperate for help because no one wants to live there anymore. Soon business will have to relocate because it will be uninhabitable. Very sad.

I recently came across test footage from Operation Hardtack in ‘58. They did a shallow underwater burst called Umbrella and a deeper-water burst called Wahoo. Iirc they used a 30-kiloton bomb for them. The vids show water doing things I’d never seen.
Here’s Umbrella, whose spray plume rose to 6000 feet.


The Wahoo vid has an annoying soundtrack but descriptive captions.


I’m left with the impression that this gave us a visual window into the sort of tsunami produced by a dinosaur-killer-class asteroid strike.
