While the signals were weak yesterday, with the arrival high pressure system the signals are still a bit weaker than the norm but seem to have more or less returned to normal. SB seems normal but SD seems still a bit weaker than usual under the given conditions - directional forces could always be at work too. I know..., I'm not really sure what it all means either.

Hearing Loss?
4/23/2015 0100 WST
Signals are definitely weaker this evening/morning as well
as all day yesterday for that matter too. However, SB sometimes manages to peek
through at the less than optimal listening spot. So, much of the absence of SD is likely a
directional type of thing and a result of the low pressure system overhead, I would
be inclined to suggest. Of course,
things seem to have been heating up of late, so I don’t really know for sure
anymore, maybe either.

Where 'da Gulf of Mexico?
April 21st, 2015
For decades or more it seems, tornado researchers have been
telling us that the formation of tornadoes in the nation’s Heartland are mostly
due to the weather systems created by, or associated with, the Gulf of Mexico. Then I see/hear of tornadoes like this one today
near Palm Springs, California and ask, ‘what could the Gulf of Mexico possibly
have to do with this tornado, even with the counter-clockwise spinning low
pressure system approaching on-shore?’
Are we to associate this tornado with the Sea of Cortez, possibly
in accordance with the well-funded and widely accepted tornado researchers’ typical
logic – if we stretch that logic abit and give that logic the benefit of the
doubt? Or…, should we attribute this
tornado to the Pacific Ocean – words I never heard uttered in the same sentence
before I started this Tornado Tamer campaign with a PhD.
application years ago? Or…, is this
tornado due to the some combination of the second low pressure system soon to
be coming on-shore to the north? Worth
noting, the “KTLA 10 O’clock News” from Los Angeles this evening reported that there were lightning
strikes today in the Palm Springs region, more or less – which is another possible
contributing factor in my hypotheses concerning tornado formation, of which I have
written elsewhere. Is the lightning the
real cause of this tornado – and I don’t mean in the typical sense of the
phenomena being associated with electrical/thunder storms either?

Possibly unrelated to this blog entry, but maybe not – but
kind’a cool either way:

PS. (Early A.M, 4/22) The signals were weak from SD this
evening with some SB being heard – albeit all possibly counter-directional
depending on the location of the approaching low pressure system(s) and wind
directions. (This is information which I do not have since I don’t have the
equipment to provide this data in real time and I don’t want to allow a
thousand java scripts of unknown origins to run on my computer just to find out
this information either, even if I could.) But I can see that the barometer is currently dropping
as of this late-night writing. So, maybe
this post script is merely a moot point. I will try to go get a better listen tomorrow
evening to see what’s up, with any luck.

Seems to have Repeated, Maybe
April 10th, 2015
As of last night the signals seemed normal, more or less. However, there was another possible coincidence with my predictions yesterday. Again, I figure it can take a day or two for any measured air mass to reach the Heartland. Nevertheless, May I extend my condolences to any victims and my sympathies to the injured.
