Massive debris flow traveling at lightning speed in eastern TN! The preceding drought conditions followed by days of rain ahead of Hurricane Helene set the stage. This is incredibly rapid for a debris flow.

Silt and flood debris have filled the streets of Chimney Rock, NC. This is a disaster on the same scale as Hurricane Katrina. Massive floods across multiple states drowning whole cities. Where is the National Guard? Where’s Biden?

FEMA is out of money after blowing $1.4B on the migrant crisis, and now they admit they can’t meet our needs with Hurricane Milton approaching. Tampa is still covered in debris from Helene. Biden’s administration is putting illegals before American lives. Disgraceful!

What happened? 1. 🧊 Glacier collapse: A large portion of a glacier in the Himalayan region broke away and fell into a steep valley. 2. 🪨 Ice + rock + debris: The collapse generated a huge debris flow containing ice, rocks, sediment and water. 3. 🌊 Sudden river surge: This rapidly increased the flow in the Lhende/Bhote Koshi river system, producing a powerful flash flood downstream. 4. ⛰️ Steep Himalayan terrain: Nepal's steep valleys allow enormous volumes of water and debris to travel very rapidly, making flash floods particularly destructive. 5. 🌡️ Climate change may contribute: Himalayan glaciers are retreating and thinning with rising temperatures, potentially making glacier slopes and glacial lakes more unstable. However, the exact contribution of climate change to this particular collapse is still being investigated. Important: The seismic signal initially led to reports of an earthquake, but subsequent analysis indicated that it was generated by the glacial collapse and resulting debris flow, not a conventional earthquake. More generally, Nepal is highly flood-prone because of monsoon rainfall, cloudbursts, landslides, snow/glacier melt, glacial-lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and landslide-dammed rivers. #Nepalfloods #nepal #floods

Aerification simplified. We received .80” of rain through early this morning and easily pulling a core. One person aerifying and two to assist. Verticutting first followed by aerification and it’s barely leaving any debris through the process. #Coremax #Procore648 #Toro

Okay so this falling object and debris were spotted in the area of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico about 20 minutes ago. Is this a meteor or satellite debris? #UFO #UAP #OVNI #Meteor

This is awesome. VP Kamala Harris just packed up a bunch of resources for victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. Meanwhile, Trump is out there LYING about the hurricane. VP Harris is a real leader.

In the initial days of my trading, I had no clue about order flow. 4 years later, order flow is a critical final part of my trading. I've built a list of the top 3 ways I use order flow in a systematic way. Today, I am sharing it with you 🧵

The Nakivubo channel project is a worthwhile endeavour, but if it is not handled carefully, the consequences will be dire. Ham should have first provided an engineering solution for the run-offs which flow through this channel before commencing any development works. I am not an engineer, but the first thing would have been widening and deepening the channel in order to create more room that's so far eaten up by the structure in the form of the shuttering materials used and debris. By the look of things, this is a disaster in waiting.

Where is all the smoke coming from? The Gifford Fire north of Santa Barbara has burned nearly 50k acres and due to a persistent southwest flow, we can expect to see these smoky conditions for at least another couple of days. @nvwx @cawx
