The Potomac water temp is around 36Β°F posing extreme hypothermia risk for AA flight 5342 survivors. Hypothermia can set in at those temperatures in just 30 minutes.

Weather was not a factor, with clear skies and calm winds.

Hoping and praying for a miracle. Such a tragedy and heartbreaking news πŸ’”

How to Help Victims of the LA Wildfires Firefighters have struggled to contain several blazes that were fanned by strong winds that cold worsen.

So sad to see the destruction in Southern California due to wildfires when I just visited this summer.

❄️Happy Winter!

Winter began this morning at 4:21
a.m. EST, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

If you're like me and dislike the early sunsets, they'll now start
happening later each day.

Earthquake Q&A thread 🧡

Q1: Why didn’t this earthquake generate a tsunami?

A1: This earthquake moved the ground sideways. Underwater quakes where the ground moves up are the ones that usually generate tsunamis. This video explains.

(This is an older video so it sadly doesn’t have captions)
