Whats the weather like where you are?

Thank God Cyclone missed us (Auckland) but unfortunately Hawkes Bay and east of NZ got it worst. So maybe prayers for those in the path...they seem to bear the brunt of most cyclones.

it was weird how the last cyclone, Gabrielle came out of the blue. We had so much rain though, the most in 100 years that the media were calling it a 'weather event'

It wasn't raining men though.

Glad you were spared, ok, yeah Funny how they name a storm after an archangel, and deny the existence of God at the same time. a "weather event" like a cyclone has the ability to plan a party right?

Who said 'they' denied the existence of God?
Also it was Gabrielle, not Gabriel, so it was a female angel if it was named after the archangel. Or the angel in feminine form. All Cyclones are female. As are Hurricanes. I think they just go in alphabetical order, so we must be up to W for the next one.

 

[Lanolin]

Ok..huh according to Google, cyclones and hurricanes were traditionally named after females, but women's rights groups protested and now they have alternating lists of males and females.

I can't remember any names that were male though. What was cyclone Bola? Gender neutral?
I do remember Hurricane Katrina. That was a fierce one.

Think about it, when has the media ever said God is angry? or Gods wrath? they always say "Mother Nature"
Of course they name storms after women.... Have you never seen the wrath of an angry woman?

mm Earthquakes insurance companies call 'An act of God'
Media sometimes say things are a 'God send'
'weather events' are sometimes described as a 'force of nature' but in general thunder isn't described as God being angry, and rain isn't described as God crying. Rainbows are generally not mentioned, only in the case of LGBTQ, as if real rainbows don't exist, being God's covenant with all creation and a symbol of hope.
I never see weather reports, or weather maps for example with pictures/symbols or icons of rainbows on them

Women aren't described as wrathful as more 'furious'
Furies were women if I recall in Greek mythology.

 

[Lanolin]

New Zealands other name in Maori is Aotearoa, which means 'land of the long white cloud' since upon discovery that's what it looked like. The land was under a cloud.

Furies is actually the goddess of wrath in greek mythology

Furies | Mythology, Names, & Facts | Britannica

Furies, in Greco-Roman mythology, the chthonic goddesses of vengeance. They were probably personified curses, but possibly they were originally conceived of as ghosts of the murdered. They lived in the underworld and ascended to earth to pursue the wicked.

I have never heard the media use the term god send. Must depend on whether or not it is a faith based organization or not.

It's a common phrase, I'm sure media peeps are aware of it. Maybe depends on what type of media you consume.
I'm not bothered by media.

If you looked up at the sky last night, depending on where you're located, you might not have seen any weather. But, you may have seen this rocket fuel.

Is that coming from SpaceX, all the way where I live?

Is that coming from SpaceX, all the way where I live?

I see a lot of people online saying that this is from the China's Zhuque-2E Y5 rocket. I thought this must be an error, because that occurred at this time last year. So, I thought maybe a better answer was commented by someone who goes by the name tommyokie, "It might be the upper stage venting from the "NROL-172" launch by SpaceX from a couple days ago."

Then I saw this article on spaceweather which says that it is methalox (rocket fuel from a Chinese rocket) again...

A 'METHALOX COMET' OVER THE USA: Last night, a glowing comet-like apparition swept across the skies of the central United States--but it wasn't a comet. It was a Chinese rocket.


"We just had another satellite fuel dump event here in the Midwest," reports Dan Bush of Albany, Missouri, who photographed the display:

​

"This one was much larger than previous dumps I have seen," he says. "It began around 4:16 UT (May 14th) and lasted for about 10 minutes."


The source was China's Zhuque-2E Y5 rocket, which lifted off about an hour earlier carrying a 2.8-ton payload to a 900-km polar orbit. What sets this rocket apart is its fuel: liquid methane and liquid oxygen, or "methalox." When a methalox upper stage vents its fuel, the cryogenic propellants flash-freeze into a distinctive comet-like cloud of tiny ice crystals.


Methalox is a new and increasingly popular rocket fuel, offering several advantages over traditional fuels. Methane is easier to store than hydrogen, burns cleaner than kerosene, and can be produced on Mars. Methalox can now be found in the tanks of SpaceX's Starship, Blue Origin's New Glenn, and a growing fleet of Chinese commercial rockets.


The first widely-observed methalox comet appeared only one year ago over Colorado. Get ready for more. The era of methalox is just getting started.

Thanks for the report, @CarriePie. That is some interesting information that you pulled from spaceweather.com.

I actually applied to be a part of Space Force in either 2016 or 2017, when ever Trump introduced the military force, last time he was in office. I don't think it was organized well enough yet, so I didn't get much information about it after I signed up.
