Oklahoma City has a half a million people. This is a high energy system with tornado outbreaks.

This system has a high water vapor content. There is a lot of energy within it.

Two hours ago the current system began to form.

The current satellite is below, kindly note the forming intense system south of Texas - Mexico Border.

Below is a water vapor satellite from four hours ago. There is little density in the area of Oklahoma and Texas, however, the larger vortex system has peripheral flow that became saturated with heat and sun rays which are about 15 degrees from direct.

It would be good if there were hurricanes, but, currently there is no evidence of any.

The point is when "Tornado Watch" is in effect, people need to move to a ready status to take shelter UNDERGROUND. It is never prudent to believe any tornado will be a minor tornado. It is far too hot within the troposphere to expect anything less than the worst. A reaction of alarm to move to shelter is prudent. It is necessary.

No one alive can out guess these storms. There is no reason to understand anything except a dire emergency when the word tornado is spoken.

It is the HEAT.


This system has been dropping vortices for 90 minutes now.

The Weather Channel Temperature Map

The angle of the sun changes as Earth turns and it diffuses through the atmosphere differently. It is a combination of the surface heat building up through the day time hours and the concentration setting sun light rays that define an eruption such as this. But, the real culprit is the water vapor which absorbs the heat and retains it. This particular storm is exhibiting rain wrapped tornadoes and again it has a water vapor source off the Equator.

There is a large tropospheric vortex off shore eastern seaborder USA. That system is carrying water vapor off the Equator into it's central circulation. The circulation north of that offshore vortex center is also connected to the current system effecting the US Southern Plains. It is all that connectedness that is supplying the higher water vapor content fueling the storms.

There are similar temperatures in Southern California and Arizona, however, the water vapor is primarily absent.

It is my opinion, the National Guard from surrounding states need to be 'at the ready.' This is wicked. My best wishes to all.

The Fatal Moore Tornado. A Tornado Watch means prepare for taking shelter. A Tornado Warning means now is the time to take shelter.





On May 20, 2013, (click here) a supercell thunderstorm in central Oklahoma spawned a destructive tornado that passed just south of Oklahoma City. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aquasatellite acquired this natural-color image of the storm system at 2:40 p.m. Central Daylight Time (19:40 Universal Time), just minutes before the devastating twister began.
The red line on the image depicts the tornado’s track. It touched down west of Newcastle at 2:56 p.m. and moved northeast toward Moore, where it caused dozens of deaths, hundreds of injuries, and widespread destruction to property and public buildings. The tornado had dissipated by 3:36 p.m., after traveling approximately 17 to 20 miles (27 to 32 kilometers)....

There is no special clue a tornado is about to strike. The USA decided a long time ago it was best to invest in a warning system to keep people alive. No citizen has the capacity to outwit the warning system the USA developed. It is not possible to know more than the warning system. There is no reason for human death due to tornadoes in the USA. They are a fact of life. People should be prepared to act in their best interest when the warning system sounds.

  • Tornadoes usually accompany thunderstorms, but not always.
  • Sometimes the air is calm before a tornado hits, while in other cases it is preceded by strong, gusty winds.
  • A tornado may follow sunshine or be shrouded in heavy rain and large, dark, low-lying clouds.
  • The sound of a tornado has been compared to a freight train or a jet engine, but you may or may not hear such a noise before a tornado strikes.

The good news is that Mars has a history of having water. The bad news is human can't survive the journey.



NASA’s Curiosity program (click here) has confirmed that interplanetary manned missions at speeds attainable today is not possible due to lethal space radiation. However, Russians are preparing to speed up space travel 20-fold to get to Mars and beyond.
Once again it has been confirmed, this time empirically, that space radiation would seriously endanger cosmonauts’ lives on their trip to Mars.
The Curiosity rover mission has been collecting valuable data not only after arrival to the Mars surface. Through the eight-and-a-half month cruise to Mars the probe’s sensors were collecting information about space, including radiation levels....

All I say this point is that Star Trek Transporter Rooms were well researched to include in the TV shows and movies. Transporters are about the only way humans can actually achieve deep space travel. That is fantasy and fantasy can be a place where ideas begin, however, I love a green Earth to pass on to my children.

That loyalty is not just about feeling good about the future of my children either, it is based in what will become of Earth?

One of the reasons Earth is so hot is due to it's gaseous imbalance. Some of it is pretty scary to me. There is diffusion of gas concentrations between the layers of atmosphere as the heat changes the component of our air. The question is if the Greenhouse Gas content comes down will the diffusion of any gases to upper atmospheres return to the lower atmosphere. I think that is debatable. There is significant reasons for gases to diffuse into the upper atmospheres, but, there is no real reason in physics for them to return to lower atmospheres. The Troposphere is where most gases of Earth are produced, so the diffusion upward makes sense, there is less concentration there, but, for any gases to come back to the lower atmospheres is not a given to any reason of physics.

Carbon (click here) is involved in the structure, biochemistry and nutrition of all living cells. Over the history of the planet, carbon has been naturally exchanged between the atmosphere, the ocean and terrestrial reserves. The burning of fossil fuels over the last 200 years has altered this carbon cycling, raising carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and perturbing the climate system. Could climate change, in turn, affect the ocean’s ability to store most of the Earth’s carbon? Recent research suggests that the biological uptake of carbon over large parts of the oceans is sensitive to the winds and transfer of dust....

The oceans are so hot, polluted and dense with carbon dioxide all that has to diffuse out before the atmospheric CO2 will show any movement back to normal. We just reached 400 ppm in the Troposphere. We need to stop producing greenhouse gases. Seriously.

The gaseous content of Earth I am most concerned about is WATER. H2O. If the Troposphere loses it's water content to the upper atmospheres there will be serious threats to life greater than already exists.

Video: The Post’s Juliet Eilperin talks with Kris Holderied, director of the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Kasitsna Bay Laboratory, about the pH levels of Kachemak Bay in Alaska.

Ocean acidification is due to higher levels of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the water. All this was predicted. This isn't a matter of discovery and "Oh, my gosh, we have real problems." This was all foretold by scientists decades ago. It was avoidable. Those in political spheres refusing to accept that reality don't care about human survival. I would think that would be obvious.

Ocean acidification emerges as a new climate threat (click here)

By Juliet EilperinPublished: September 30, 2012

HOMER, Alaska — Kris Holderied, who directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Kasitsna Bay Laboratory, says the ocean’s increasing acidity is “the reason fishermen stop me in the grocery store.”
“They say, ‘You’re with the NOAA lab, what are you doing on ocean acidification?’ ” Holderied said. “This is a coastal town that depends on this ocean, and this bay.”...

Where is Earth's water going? Up! 

These concepts are complicated. This phenomena is not related to the sun (Sol). The ability to MEASURE the atmospheric changes are possible because of sun activity. The change that is being measured is due to greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the primary reasons, without getting into too much detail, the polar regions lend themselves to study of Earth is because it's atmosphere is shallower. The change in atmospheric layers change in less distance from Earth's surface at the polar regions. The reason for that is because of the profound cold and the effect of that cold on the gases of the atmosphere. There are other reasons, but, why get into it? It is just easier for scientists to access accurate information in these regions of Earth. We should all be grateful these scientists can find a way to do what they do.

After the Sun sets on a summer evening (click here) and the sky fades to black, you may be lucky enough to see thin, wavy clouds illuminating the night, such as these seen over Billund, Denmark, on July 15, 2010. Noctilucent or polar mesospheric clouds, form at very high altitudes—between 80 and 85 kilometers (50–53 miles)—which positions them to reflect light long after the Sun has dropped below the horizon. These “night-shining” clouds are rare—rare enough that Matthew DeLand, who has been studying them for 11 years, has only seen them once in person. But the chances of seeing these elusive clouds are increasing.
DeLand, an atmospheric scientist with Science Systems and Applications Inc. and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, has found that polar mesospheric clouds are forming more frequently and becoming brighter. He has been observing the clouds in data from Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet instruments that have been flown on satellites since 1978. The graph above shows how the brightness of the clouds has changed in the Northern Hemisphere. For reasons no one fully understands, the brightness wiggles up and down in step with solar activity, with fewer clouds forming when the Sun is most active. The biggest variability is in the far north. Underlying the changes caused by the Sun, however, is a trend toward brighter clouds. The upward trend in brightness, says DeLand, reveals subtle changes in the atmosphere that may be linked to greenhouse gases....


While the Mesopheric clouds are beautiful when they are lit by the sun. While their measure is a huge achievement by Earth scientists. The fact this is happening is not a good thing. The increased migration of water to upper layers of Earth's atmosphere is a great worry. Sincerely. I would never pretend to state this was not a concern for humanity on Earth. I have dedicated too much time of my life to make light of anything that might be frivilous. None of this is frivilous. I don't lie and I love my sons and grandchildren deeply.

All this information collected and studied by these scientists IS undisputable PROOF of a dangerously warming trend of Earth effected by human activity and consumerism. Amazing humans can do this to a planet, but, there are a lot of us and growing in number everyday; what we are doing to Earth's gaseous layers matters. Greenhouse gas emissions has to stop. There is dearly no other answer.

My, my, my they want to run again.

Romney (click here) was viewed as an integral part of the 2012 campaign, helping to soften her husband's edges and delivering a key speech on his behalf at the Republican National Convention last summer in Tampa. Those efforts, however, did not sway women voters, who overwhelmingly chose Obama over Romney. The 20-point gender gap was the largest measured by Gallup since 1952.

Romney blamed the gender gap on the way her husband was portrayed as a "ruthless businessman" and on the "negative nature of the campaign."

"Mitt and I did everything we could," she said....

Looking ahead to the 2016 presidential race, Romney said she and her husband are "very, very partial" to his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, and hope the Wisconsin congressman makes his own White House bid.

The US Post Office doesn't have it rough enough, right? Aren't there limited hubs now?

...But the closing (click here) of 232 processing centers will be phased in over three years instead of the faster pace postal officials announced last fall.
“After input from our customers, we’ve modified our approach,” Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said at a news conference. “But the sobering reality is that the First Class mail [volume] will not return.”...

I don't think a post office mark is enough. Maybe the collection is too general, but, it is a thought.

Any chance a small residual would be on the machines? Mail trucks?

It is picked up in small amounts at government offices, I would think it would be possible to do the same thing at the hubs.

It can't be that random that it would send detective in circles.

I don't even know if it could be done with dogs. They'd have to be trained with castor beans.

Here we go at 4:00 PM again. Do you believe this? They are becoming clock work.

That is a substantial shelf cloud. People need to be taking shelter now. The upper level rotation is where the water vapor is, not on the ground.

Waiting until the rotation starts if foolish. Completely foolish. Then there is something like 15 minutes to take shelter. This is nonsense. God forbid people should lose a moment of production from their work environment to be cautious.

Do Oklahomans every learn? Do they think for a living or do they like laughing death in the face?

Is this the most dysfunctional culture ever witnessed? The USA spends millions, if not billions on warnings and then add the monies to recover the lives of these people and they can't even act prudently in their own interest? What the heck is that mess?

Hell, I don't know, maybe life insurance pays better than their life time of earnings from work.

I am suppose to care about this and people can't even protect their own lives when this level of threat exists. Whatever happened to 'Better go home, take the rest of the day off. Go take care of your children." What happened to that? It is better the people of Oklahoma City stay on the job and laugh death in the face because God is on their side? Is that it? It is a game of 'Dare Devil?' Adult version?

A Tornado Watch is not enough? You actually have to see the debris before it becomes an emergency?

That is bullshit. My orientation is that when there is a tornado watch I take cover and wait for an all clear before standing down from an emergency warning. That has been my orientation from the time I was a child. This is screwed up values if I ever witnessed any.

At this point all the Executive Branch has to do is right regulations and wait for lawsuits. There is no reason to do anything else.

The Press have acted like sheep over a cliff and have been completely void of ethical standards in regard to the leak made by the Associated Press.



I think it more than decent the DOJ wants to meet with journalists to determine how to facilitate their practice. If they can't do themselves this favor then they don't deserve it.

They can have their temper tantrums else where. They can go to Congress and stamp their feet all they want and find a way to pass Shield Law legislation. They don't have respect for themselves; why should anyone else?

There are many varied interpretations (click here) of the journalistic phrase "off the record". To some it means the comments can be used as long as there is no attribution. To some it means that anything said can only be used as indirect background information, without attribution or direct quotation. And still to others it means anything said during an interview is unable to be used in any form whatsoever....


The Congress and the Press seem to be suffering from the same problem. They want to exploit every opportunity for ratings and wealth. At least they'll have something in common to begin their support for The Shield Law.

The Associated Press (click here) says it will not attend this week's off-the-record meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder unless the Justice Department decides to change its mind and conduct the meeting on the record....

This only goes to prove the lousy attitude the Associated Press has about the integrity of the Obama Administration. If the profession does not want input to the outcome of their practice then they don't have to, maybe it is too much for them to handle. Poor dears.

The DOJ has done nothing wrong except uphold the national security interests of the USA and its allies. I don't care if they cannot own up to their own wrongdoings and move forward. If they are stuck in their own sympathy for each other, it is their loss. 

Time to move on and the DOJ simply needs to write effective regulation to protect the country and wait for lawsuits. Simple and given the bull-oney going on it will provide a solidly valid platform that sincerely will be worth the cost. They had their chance. This is ridiculous.

Given the very hostile attitudes of the Press and the House and the Republicans there is no sense in providing more fodder.

It is completely obvious the obstinate attitudes by the AP and other members of the Press are power seeking authority. They want the opportunity to carry on with the public to leverage some kind of idea of what they believe should be First Amendment anarchy. 

No.

There is absolutely no reason why effective tax reform should not proceed, especially after this report. It is very obvious where the Middle Class finds their tax relief and where they don't.

...The report, (click here) which was released Wednesday, examined exclusions from taxable income, such as tax breaks for employer-sponsored health insurance, net pension contributions and earnings, capital gains on assets transferred at death, and a portion of Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits. Other top tax expenditures included itemized deduction such as certain taxes paid to state and local governments, mortgage interest payments, and charitable contributions. The other three tax expenditures were preferential tax rates on capital gains and dividends; as well as two refundable tax credits: the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit.

The report found that in calendar year 2013, more than half of the combined benefits of those tax expenditures will accrue to households with income in the highest quintile (or one-fifth) of the population, with an estimated 17 percent going to households in the top 1 percent of the population. In contrast, 13 percent of those tax expenditures will accrue to households in the middle quintile, and only 8 percent will accrue to households in the lowest quintile....

The graph is found in the CBO reporting of their findings. (click here) There is only one thing the Rich and the Poor of the USA share; their after tax income percentages.

This is another attack fashioned by FOX News and the Symbiotes in the USA House.

The Testimony before the House Committee is taken out of context and the House members know it. But, since when does that stop the House, Murdoch or the Press?
As much as the Press wants to get their hooks into the Obama Administration, in particular the DOJ, this isn't going to do it. I watched this testimony. I saw this part of Holder's testimony about this subject. Rosen's name was never mentioned. This is a 'gotcha' thing that isn't going to work.

Let's get something straight about these so called hearings by the House. Many of these, including this one with AG Holder, are routine meetings. They aren't really hearings. This is the method used by the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch to talk to each other. This was not an investigation hearing. Some of the House Committee members actually used their time productively. There is no need for more hearings. The Committee Members are welcome to submit questions to the DOJ for answers. If the DOJ is uncooperative or inattentive, the House Committee is welcome to an explanation to that fact, but, this mess that is going on is politics. This has nothing to do with any investigation of the DOJ.

If the House actually wants FACTS to back up their HUBRIS they actually need to do their own fact finding and put together timelines, authorities involved in that time line and bring forth EDUCATED and PREPARED questions to an investigative hearing. Basically, the House has to do their homework. Right now the House uses their meetings with the Executive Branch as photo ops for political commercials. When this happens, why should the DOJ take any of them seriously? The DOJ isn't suppose to do the homework that belongs to the House. Just that simple. If the House does not have clear directions to their questions there is no sense to taking them seriously. How is AG Holder suppose to prepare for a meeting or a hearing if there is no basis to it to begin with?

The House is a prime example of ineffective and incompetent government that runs on steam and political hubris instead of governing. Governing is a real word and at least the Executive Branch takes that word seriously. I suggest the Press do their own work as well to know when these House members are indulging in malpractice, it might even make fools out of the propagandists at FOX that counted on bluffing their way through illegal activity.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee (click here) are questioning U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s honesty in denying he played a role in targeting journalists as part of a Justice Department probe of classified leaks in light of reports that Holder himself approved a grab for Fox News reporter James Rosen’s emails.
Holder told Congress at a May 15 hearing he had removed himself from decisions to collect Associated Press phone records, but The Washington Post reported that he had signed off on the search warrant for Rosen’s emails.
Judiciary Chairman U.S. Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia and U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, both Republicans, wrote to Holder yesterday saying news reports

More than half a million Britons (click here) have resorted to using food banks to stave off hunger and destitution, the Government has been warned.

Major charities signalled their alarm over a dramatic rise in the nation's "hidden hungry" – families who are forced to ask for help to feed themselves – because of wage cuts, the squeeze on benefits and the continuing economic downturn. The numbers have trebled in the past year alone and are likely to continue rising rapidly despite Britain's status as one of the world's wealthiest nations, according to a joint report by Oxfam and Church Action on Poverty....


Oxfam in Great Britain. A half million of the population in the UK is about 9 percent of the country.

When a Wall Street darling CAUSES economic downturns, employee lay offs and lines at food kitchens, the pay needs to reflect that. Why? Because if the Wall Street Darling continues that trend in the face of economic down trend, they won't have a market for long.

Brit Hume nearly dropped from his chair when Mr. Williams spoke about the involvement of an Attorney General in signing papers.




Mr. Williams was off script. It wasn't politically convenient for FOX News to actually have a logical and legitimate point of view voiced by a man once fired by NPR. It would seem as though Mr. Williams simply can't find 'sea legs' with anyone. I can relate. It is difficult to be a person of moral conviction and love of their country, isn't it?

Strange bedfellows about within this dynamic, Mr. Williams. If I may?

The Huffington Post made a more than accurate and concise observation. It stated thath Mr. James Rosen DECIDED to cross the red line.

Basically, it was one infraction of national security for anyone that close to the CIA to actually leak information for political purposes (Desperate times require desperate actions, I suppose.) that would compromise an agent, USA national security and the security of allies, but, it is an entirely different issue to realize there was a journalist cooperating with such dangerous dynamics.

No one is doubting James Rosen was not the person who found the information, it would be more than interesting if that was the case. But, with any journalist there are many decisions along the way in order to have information and opinion published.

There was the decision by the leaker to make the decision to compromise the nation, there was the decision by the journalist to write the article, there was the decision by the editor(s) to actually publish it and there was the CEO that stood by it. So, to say the problem belongs only to AG Holder is scapegoating the good man. That is all this is about AG Holder, Mr. Williams. He is being scapegoated because there are serious infractions of the law within this issue.
