This looks more like the cliffs of Maine than the quaint sandy getaways of the Garden State..

CATASTROPHIC FLOODING ALONG PARTS OF THE EAST COAST TODAY..

Flash flooding has spread to South Carolina, residents are stranded in water in some locations.. 

There continues to be the ‘once in 200 years’ title added to the flooding in that state..

Accuweather has a live blog runnnig on the flooding not only in South Carolina but also along the ATLANTIC coast line..

I have seen a number of videos this morning showcasing moments when the ocean is coming onto the land and gobbling up parts of properties build dangerously close to the Atlantic .. 

This is NOT because of Hurricane Joaquin–that storm is racing to Bermuda and will cause all sorts of hell and havoc . This instead is because of a coastal storm 

Drama drama drama.. As the desert turns

Such drama with the Art Bell show, all of the time.

It started with this:

It followed with Leo Ashcroft leaving the program and the network over whatever disagreements exist behind the scenes.. then the former newscaster went on Facebook to complain he wasn’t paid and lots of other things about Bell.

Then Bell said this,

The truth is Leo made lots of money. The real deal was he got paid by the commercial’s that ran in his newscast and it was a lot. On top of that he got 1% of total ad revenue which was about to be raised to 2 % but he quit because he said he could not get along with Keith. After I told the exact truth at the start of the show last night he now hates me I see. The guy is in total meltdown mode. I feel sorry for him. As for the offer he said he got from Coast, that was told first to Amy because he wanted to take her along with him but she refused. He also told Heather about it both on the phone and In print (which she has) and finally he told me as well. I am still not sure if it was real or he just made it up as a bluff, either way it’s bad. I was not going to say a word on the Friday show even as stressed out as I was about the situation but he started posting crazy stuff on his FB site asking people to email me or call in on open lines so I felt I had no choice as the messages started to roll in.

Well..
The ‘then’ is still being written.

The U.S. Coast Guard resumed its search early Saturday across Bahamian waters for a disabled cargo ship with 33 crewmembers, including 28 Americans, that lost contact during Hurricane Joaquin, which was moving away from the sprawling archipelago

From the AP:

Officials said the crew - 28 Americans and five Poles - earlier reported they had been able to contain the flooding. The Coast Guard said it had covered more than 850 square miles in its search so far.

“We’re going to go and try and save lives. We’re going to push it to the operational limits as far as we can,” Coast Guard Capt. Mark Fedor said of rescue efforts.

Fedor said there were 20- to 30-foot (up to 9-meter) waves in the area, and that heavy winds could have destroyed the ship’s communications equipment. The ship went missing when Joaquin was a Category 4 storm. The hurricane has since weakened to a Category 3.

This is a real image of the ‘Halloween’ version of the Whopper from Burger King.

There’s mixed reaction..

I somewhat think the colors accurately reflect the quality of product you’re consuming anyway.. perhaps even more shows the decay of flesh that takes place in your stomach as the rotting corpse of meat breaks apart before excretion..

Happy meatless Halloween.

Why Kindergarten in Finland Is All About Playtime (and Why That Could Be More Stimulating Than the Common Core) - The Atlantic

An amazing article from the ATLANTIC and how we are ruining our children in comparison to how other countries do their educating..
My son will be 5 soon.. I don’t want him ruined.
I want him to live the way Helsinki does.
Please leaders of the free world, stop ruining our kids.

Dinosaurs may have been wiped out by asteroid and volcano

Now, a team of Berkeley-based scientists are suggesting a sort of compromise, and one based on facts and data rather than attempts to smooth over tensions. According to a recent study that will soon be published in Science, researchers suggest that the asteroid impact may have accelerated the volcano explosions, and the combined fallout from both catastrophes may have been what ultimately drove the dinosaurs extinct. It’s even possible that the asteroid impact on its own would not have been powerful enough to wipe out the dinosaurs.

A woman who claimed to have a grandmother inside a writing class in Snyder Hall, where a portion the massacre unfolded, described the scene in a tweet. “The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were Christian,” she wrote. “If they said yes, then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs. My grandma just got to my house, and she was in the room. She wasn’t shot, but she is very upset.

Joaquin has strengthened significantly and continues to hover near the Bahamas on Thursday. This delay has altered the forecast track. Other weather systems impacting Joaquin will be in slightly different positions as a result.
