Tropical
Storm Florence was expected to strengthen back into a hurricane by Saturday
night, as forecasters warned that the storm would bring life-threatening rip
currents to the U.S. East Coast before possibly making landfall next week.
Florence’s
precise path remained uncertain on Saturday, but the NHC said the “risk of
direct impact” somewhere between Florida and North Carolina was increasing. Sep.8 https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/florence-hurricane-east-coast_us_5b940ad1e4b0cf7b0040536e
New Moons and Full Moons can have a dramatic affect on the
weather especially in those places where they make hard aspects to the angles. The
New Moon of Sep.9 is opposite Neptune
and is square the horizon axis at Charleston, South Carolina and places close
by. Poseidon the Greek equivalent of the
Roman Neptune was one of the Twelve Olympians in ancient Greek religion and
myth. He was god of the Sea and other waters. When angry, Poseidon would send
hurricanes and storms at sea.
The New Moon is conjunct the energetic star Mizar and those
of stormy Argo. Diana Rosenberg links
this star to “storms, floods and disasters due to weather and atmospheric
conditions” and gives the following examples:
The Sun was here in
1622 when a great Spanish royal fleet of 28 ships carrying immense treasure
sailed from Havana: 8 went down in a hurricane of Key West; the Sep. 1782 when a huge Royal Navy West
Indies convoy of merchant ships, frigates and captured French warships were
caught in a mid Atlantic gale with a terrible loss of ships and about 3,500
men; the 1881 Haifong, China typhoon that killed thousands; an 1882 Bombay
storm and immense sea surge that killed about 100,000; the 1900 Great Galveston
, Tx hurricane, the city was inundated
and demolished; the April 1974 Super tornado outbreak when 148 tornadoes swept through 12 states
killing 324 injuring 5300; in April 1979 three twisters combined into one giant
tornado and hit Wichita Falls; the lethal F-5 tornado with winds of more than 250 mph that hit
towns near Birmingham, AL in 1998 leaving dozens dead.
