Whast factors govern a strong push (with a squall line like we saw back on June 4th ... just pressure differences?<br /><br />Second, I see the first Volcanic Activity Statement of the year (2009/1) has been issued by NOAA for blowing ash (not an eruption) on July 5th.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/VAAC/ARCH09/STHELEN/2009G052303.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/VAAC/ARCH09/STHELEN/2009G052303.html</a><br /> <br />RMK: AT 2215Z A PILOT REPORTED ASH DRIFTING NE<br />FROM MSH. WEB CAM SUGGESTS THIS IS RESUSPENDED<br />ASH DUE TO STRONG WINDS. NO ERUPTION IS<br />OCCURRING. ...BIRCH<br /><br />Is this due to a combination of the winds and the dry weather (we've had plenty of wind before so I presume the dryness is the issue)?Kevin Purcellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157202870194603923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-16780440309293110102009-07-06T08:04:26.409-07:002009-07-06T08:04:26.409-07:00Davey, I followed the sailboat tragedy closely, me...Davey, I followed the sailboat tragedy closely, met one of the survivors and helped with the search. Two people did stay with the boat and drift in but the whole group of 6 were sinking the overturned boat when they decided to swim. Several bad decisions led to the accident but they did the best they could after. I wish they'd read this blog and known the Push was coming... I thought about them when the push came in last night too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-50333805852535587552009-07-06T07:34:40.524-07:002009-07-06T07:34:40.524-07:00Going back to the June 4th push, I heard from some...Going back to the June 4th push, I heard from some locals in Bellingham that the two sail boat fatalities were a group of people from the town of Glacier that had taken out an illequiped sailboat that evening, it seems like they might have been alright if thay had stayed on or near the over turned boat and let it get blown into shore. From what I have heard they tryed to swim for it and if they had known anything about hypothermia or the Puget Sound they would have reconsidered that decision. I have to say being in the puget sound at night next to an over turned sail boat does not make for a good decision making environment but public education related to hypothermia might have helped in this case. Bellingham Bay seems to generate at least one fatality a year from the the surf-ski, sea kayaking community many of which do not dress properly for the prospect of floating around in the sound after dark for 6-12 hours, there is lots of room for improvement in education and outreach to this community regarding hypothermia.Daveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260412556236711040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-81801665213045710322009-07-06T06:48:42.105-07:002009-07-06T06:48:42.105-07:00BTW, thanks for warning the Sunday daysailers... !...BTW, thanks for warning the Sunday daysailers... !izzithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339789789959886545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-69782049457626728982009-07-05T22:50:41.024-07:002009-07-05T22:50:41.024-07:00And it feels lovely.... yay!!!And it feels lovely.... yay!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
