Title: Weather pics
Post by: ducktapehero on February 12, 2008, 07:16:30 PM
Here's some pics of the damage from the ice storm that hit last night. It could have been a lot worse but it's still pretty impressive looking. In a way it's beautiful, except of course the pics of the limb on my car. Those suck.  :-\

Actually I don't think we have much damage at all. The car may be scratched a bit but other than that we made out pretty good. It could have been a LOT worse. Had it rained a few more hours it would have been UGLY.

Title: Re: Weather pics
Post by: ducktapehero on February 12, 2008, 07:37:08 PM
Not all the time but in my part of the country we're too far South to get too much snow. Usually we get freezing rain which IMHO is worse. But most of the times these storms are small and the damage is limited, like the one last night. Occasionally, maybe once every 20 years we get a massive one. We had a massive one last year in the area, tens of thousands of people without power for up to two weeks. Fortunately, I missed that one last year, it literally missed us my a mile or so. This year we werent so lucky but this is a small one.

Spring is usually when we have our "wild weather". I live on the Eastern edge of "Tornado Alley" and tornadoes are fairly common in my part of the country. We've actually had a couple of outbreaks this year but usually they don't start until at least March.

Good topic for today. Here's a shot from 5 minutes ago. No the picture is not out of focus - it's just snowing that hard. 4 inches so far with 4-6 more inches before it quits.

Glad to hear there's not too much damage to you and your stuff. I've heard ice storms can cause massive devastation so its good you've come out relatively unscathed. Ice does make things look nice though, especially trees

That's a lot of snow. Usually when it snows around here it's enough to cover the ground. However, occasionally we'll get a good amount. Christmas Eve 2002 we had 13 inches of snow. And it was a complete surprise. We hadn't gotten our Christmas shopping done so we went to Wal-Mart and to the grocery store. We hurried and were on our way home about an hour later. The snow was already about 3" deep and I had to drive up a big hill with a 2wheel drive 3/4 ton Ford Pickup. Well I shouldn't say I drove, my wife(gf at the time) drove while I pushed and threw rocksalt under neath the tires.

Christmas day was kinda cool. We had just moved into town and didn't have internet and TV yet. This was also before we had a kid so of course we had to entertain ourselves that day.  :D The other 23 hrs and 58 minutes we just hung out. :o :o :D :D

It's a sunny day today here in our place. We have only two seasons, the dry season and rainy season. I took a picture using my cell phone after my daily jogging routine this morning. On the horizon (at the left side of the electical post) is Mt. Kanla-on volcano. It is an active volcano and just few days ago it was emitting smoke and last year we have experienced some ash fall. The volcano is more or less 50 kilometers from where I was standing when I took the pic.

Can you see the crater?

DTH, we got hit hard here in SE MO too.  We got lots of rain after the initial sleet.  There are 4-5 inches of ice in some areas.  I'll post pictures of my damage later today.

I hope everything is OK with you.

Thanks.  I'm fine, as is the rest of my family.

There are still about 18,000 people in my area without power.  I have a wood stove and a gas water heater, so I'm still in business.  My wife and I have six relatives living with us right now that are without any heat in their homes.

I have four 60ft. trees in my back yard, and three of them have lost their tops and large limbs.  I had some foresight last spring and cut down three large trees in my yard.  One was over my house and the other over my power lines.  I've lost a shed and a fence but, thankfully, there's no damage to the house.

It's still cold today but the sun is out, so hopefully some of the ice will melt.

We are both residing in the vicinity of an active volcano, WhichDawg!

It's a sunny day!

We had another fun ride at 10 A.M. today until 3:00 P.M. It is more fun to ride on small streetbikes because it is easier to manuever along the winding and steep mountain road. Sorry, the pic taken by cell phone is not so clear.

Resting for a few minutes along the winding road. That's me second from the right.
This particular place has an elevation of 2,000 feet above sea level.

I have actually seen one 650 lightning Chief. When I was a kid the father of one of my classmates owned one. And when that bike accelerates the sound of its engine exhaust is like an anti-aircraft gun. The bike is not in running condition now and sits in their garrage full of dust.

duckman, is that last years corn or are triffids (man eating plants from space) growing!

I grew up in Illinois, so I know flatlands! I'll take the sea and mountains please!

Post by: duckman1975 on April 28, 2008, 11:15:12 AM
Nope not triffids, sadly just your typical harvested yellow corn last month  :D We will be planting yellow corn again after a few weeks, not for biofuel but for pig fuel  :D Don't worry I will be posting pictures of the MYSTERIOUS GLOWING FLOATING BALL OF LIGHT, if I ever get the shot. Anyways one of the old farmer told me its called "Apoy ni Santa Elmo" or St. Elmo's fire.

I planted a few myself but the mangos produced by my trees are smaller than the old big mango trees. Hows yours? Also planted a few mahogany.
Title: Re: Weather pics
Post by: edap617 on April 30, 2008, 04:45:08 AM
I think the size of the fruits will also depend on the fruit density in every tree. Last harvest one tree produced few but bigger fruits. I still believed that older and bigger mango trees produce more and bigger fruits than young trees.

Goodmorning M.TEX, are you from the Philippines too? Liked mangos too, too bad I found out about their high uric acid content. Now if I eat too much mango I will feel the pain on my joints the next day, but its worth it  :)

Tropical Storm 'Cosme' makes landfall over western Pangasinan.
abs-cbnNEWS.com - 5/17/2008 6:54:36 PM
 
The Philippine’s weather bureau on Saturday hoisted public storm warning signal no. 3 over six provinces in Luzon as tropical storm Cosme (international codename, Halong) made landfall over western Pangasinan Saturday. In its 5:30 p.m. update the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services (PAGASA) reported Cosme has changed its direction a bit and has made landfall over western Pangasinan, after it was first expected to hit land over Ilocos Sur.

Duckman, take all necessary precautions.

Not so much of a pic but more of a poor quality video . It shows a rough sea hammering our coast line . Believe me the sea is alot bigger then it looks in the video and if you had gone to the bottom of that ramp you probably wouldnt have come back as it would have knocked you off your feet , the waves were breaking over your head .you can see when I turn round just how close the village is to the sea and all that stands between it is that wall .

When its that bad we couldnt even launch  :o The Enviroment agency closes the flood gates so we couldnt get through plus it would be certain death in a sea like that with a boat like ours . Theres many stories in old times with brave men dying trying to launch lifeboats in huge surf , thats the most dangerous part the surf once your past that you can ride the waves to some degree . were tasked upto a force 6 but although it doesnt look that bad on the vid it was beyond that .

Great pix!

Here's one from a couple nights ago.    California has had really bad luck with fires so far this year.    We've had 3 big ones close to us and a few days ago we had the wierdest lightning storm I've ever seen.    It started over 600 fires that day since everything is crispy dry right now.

Anyway,  the night of the last fire, I went outside at midnight or so and looked up and the freaking moon looked like it was bouncing (I guess from the heat waves).    I woke everyone up in the house and we all sat outside and stared at it for over an hour.    Truly one of the strangest things I've seen.

I tried to take a video, but the battery for the recorder was dead.

Shot a lot of pictures becasue the sky looked so cool though.

Manual mode on a canon 20D.

I was bracketing but if I remember right it was around f3 for 1/30 sec at ISO800 ??  I cropped out a lot of dark sky. 

There's a bunch of programs out there that let you click on a web photo and get all that info.   Look for a free download of Opanda.

You can find all the specs on any web picture (camera type, date, all the settings,iso modes, exposure etc. ) with it.

That's a nice low noise shot for ISO800.  That 20D is serving you well.

I think the background helps with that a little, but I've taken daytime shots with a 400mm and had to shoot at 800 ISO to freeze sports late in the afternoon and it does well.

No ben, at 5:30 a.m. there are already many people jogging, walking and playing basketball. Here is another picture I took on that same day (June 29). The baketball court was also deserted. I'll take another picture at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow.
