Gleissberg Cycle. 89-100 years. 2025 is the maximum drought year in the cycle. Today is just a warm up. 12,000 years in the making. If you are not familiar with the cycle you should read about it. It explains much.

As just a boots on the ground report, I live in Aurora, IL. We had a tornado warning, but it was nothing unheard of. I understand O'Hare airport had a small tornado - I assume an F1, with only some minor damage, but none dead. Temps here virtually all summer have been extremely pleasant, maybe one or two (or three) 90F days. We had a drought up to about 10 days ago, maybe a month or so, but nothing unheard of, then a lot of rain. So, mid July, no drought, no extreme temps. But with all due respect and love for Michael, but this area is for sure known for tornadoes, including ones 20 years ago that killed a lot of people in Plainfield, another one in Oak Park. Of course, the Loop has not, but then major urban areas, as a heat sink, virutally never have tornadoes (exceptions OKC or Knoxville, a couple decades ago; Joplin MO was a smaller city that also had a horrible F5) I have been here for a long time, and have been in multiple tornadoes somewhere around me.

And this non-Einstein journalist who said "he had “never seen anything like this in Chicago before”… well, maybe he isn't from the area. ANYONE who lives in the area, outside of the Loop, has DEFINITELY been in tornadic weather. Maybe he's from the Loop and now living in a suburb? A new resident? But that one by this "journalist" (CNN probably) is simply not true... but of course, journalists lie as regularly as they breathe

That's the weather report from Lake Wobegon

The Joplin tornado came across country before hitting town. I went there after to help. Seriously destroyed city. The same thing happens in Norman and Edwards and OKC. Twisters come in from out of town and just wipe things out.

"Now see that I, even I, am He,

And there is no God besides Me;

I kill and I make alive;

I wound and I heal;

Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.

40 For I raise My hand to heaven,

And say, “As I live forever,

41 If I whet My glittering sword,

And My hand takes hold on judgment,

I will render vengeance to My enemies,

And repay those who hate Me.

42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood,

And My sword shall devour flesh,

With the blood of the slain and the captives,

From the heads of the leaders of the enemy.”

Deuteronomy 32:39-42.

This is the God that needs to be preached in these last days so people repent and turn away from wickedness, but instead, the message coming from most pulpits is a message of prosperity, peace and security, almost as if the blood of Jesus is a license to sin, and they are GRAVELY MISTAKEN!!

(Hebrews 10:26-31)

I agree wholeheartedly. Also, you could mention that the besides the sunspot cycle, the sun and the earth in relation to each other go through many other cycles, some take thousands of years. The concept that a few "ants" running around planet earth (with their CO2 emissions -- that's us) can change the cosmos is ludicrous. We need to be good stewards of the garden God has given us and don't pollute our world, but to say that the Creator who put the hydrocarbons in the earth for our use would not anticipate what would happen once we start using them, is not giving much credit to our Creator God. I guess that is the point of atheists and progressives.

We live in a special place and time when the apparent diameter of the sun is the same as the apparent diameter of the moon. So from our perspective the two balls in the sky are almost identical in size. Thus we expect an annular eclipse later this year. It turns out to be really challenging to depict earth, sun, and moon in a painting and get both the perspective and scale of everything just right.

If what we have been told about the formation of the moon is correct it will be getting farther from the earth every year. That seems to be happening based on bouncing lasers off the cube corner reflectors at the Apollo and Surveyor sites. So in ten thousand years there won't be any total eclipses of the sun, only annular eclipses and transits.

Amen.

The ignorance of my grandkids. Really, they think the sun is a big lightbulb. Nothing to do with climate.
