In the midst of all of the fallout from Helene (which cause some comparatively minor issues like power outages and light damage here), there is a annular solar eclipse today. I got the 4.5 GOES East receiver back on line (narrowly missed by about half of a magnolia tree) in time to see part of it. You can see the Moon’s shadow on the earth in the lower part of this shot, just to the left of Chile and South America …
You can also see Hurricane Kirk in the center right; here’s a zoomed in view of that storm:
More as I get systems back on line, including articles on the relationship between wind and damage, and some words about Georgia Power, our electrical grid, and recovery from storms.
Thank you for keeping us in the loop
Thanks!
