Need to compile the Oddities



So, the signals have been very strange over the last two weeks (approximately).  Interestingly enough, there was several distinct instances of tornadic activity elsewhere – seemingly each time I didn’t follow through with a blog entry on the signals (tornadoes reported in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, and New Mexico to list a few places).  

I dunno.  I suppose I’ve maybe been lazy.  But also, after my last blog entry I don’t think there was any tornadic activity – so that was a bit disheartening.  Though, recently there was also some passing storms here on the West Coast  – and I’m still not really sure of the effect of passing storms on hearing the signals.   

Nothing much of anything was to be heard at various listening locations.  However, SB was eeking-through at points in time – and SB was even seeming to dominate a couple of evenings ago.  But in general, the signals have been notably weak.  (The signals are possibly beginning to return to normal as of the time of this entry, but I'm not really sure.)

My condolences to the afflicted and their families due to the recent tornadoes, of course.  

One of these days – now that I have a bit more free time, I am going to have to compile all these blog entries and compare and try to correlate the entries to tornadic activity in the heartland.  Stay tuned for that.

The Saints Ain’t Been Singing

Jan. 24, 2019


From what I’ve been able to hear over the last few days or so, SD and SB ain’t been heard much.  But I have not been at the premier location for listening, either.  Surprisingly though, this evening I heard Saint Gabriel try to barely eek through across the middle.  There has been a low over the southwestern mainland that had passed a couple of days back too, I believe – worth noting.  And I think there was some tornadic activity in Florida today as well.  But mostly the pressure has not been overly low during this time, nevertheless. Though I don’t think my model typically tracks to there.  Who knows for sure?

Weak Everywhere

April 30, 2018
The signals were particularly weak last night. But during brief periods and maybe for only a moment or two each, any of the three could be heard. Reportedly, a storm is approaching from the ocean.

More Odd Combinations

Late Friday eve I again heard even more odd (odder) combinations.  St. Gabriel clearly heard on the low end with Saint Diego heard over the middle - or something like that.  No, the angels from up in town strangely weren't heard at all.  Storms then appeared today in the heartland.  Maybe in a few months, when I finish my latest task, I will work on getting some permanent listening equipment.

Odd Combinations

Over the weekend, Sunday to be specific, I recall clearly hearing both St. Barbara and St. Diego at the same time.  A situation that I dont really recall hearing in the past - at least not very often.  Otherwise, as a whole, the signals were weaker than usual.

Learning from Mistakes?



March 28, 2018, Wednesday morning.

I have been away a lot and unable to consistently listen to the signals.  As such, my interpretive powers could be a bit out of practice.  Also, after my last post I was reluctant to post again about the weakened and odd signals I observed last weekend.  But my prior blog entry taught me something about passing storms, a question of which I have often blogged.  (Someday I hope to get some permanent equipment that would be able to listen and even interpret the signals for me – constantly and automatically.)

However, today’s storms and tornado warnings in the south-central and midwestern states again reminded me to blog – which I intended to do this past Sunday morning/evening.  Last weekend, I noticed what I would consider to be odd signals (Saturday and Sunday nights), with St. Gabriel nearly dominating the band.  However, St. Barbara could be heard (somewhat in some places) and St. Diego was mostly much weaker than the norm – if heard at all.  Which is typically not a good sign.

PS.  By the way, no worries.  My website will be back up again soon – with any luck, anyhow.

Questionable Signals


March 12, 2017

From what I have been able to hear/listen during the last few days, the signals have been weaker than normal - or at least weaker than expected.  Typically, this would not be a good sign regarding the weather on its way to the Heartland.  However, a storm recently passed this way.  And any questionable signals heard now could still be a result thereof.  Also, another storm system is reportedly approaching - which could also be affecting the signals.
