@marilyndeutsch2 @OMSI i observed it. about 2 orders of magnitude brighter than any other meteor i’ve observed. there are ton of similar reports across the northwest at the same time. to see the pending reports, visit https://t.co/c3I1ki2se7
@marilyndeutsch @OMSI @NWSPortland have you absolutely ruled out an upper atmosphere bolide event? i'm doubtful that a routine lighting/thunder event would be reported this widely. do we have any USGS seismic data to triangulate location? to a hammer, the world is a nail. to weather folks loud noises are thunder:)
@pdxalerts @OvernightWashCo it was almost certainly not thunder/lightning... but a bolide... a meteor exploding as it hits the earth's upper atmosphere. the sound was utterly unlike thunder.
@pdxalerts Given large area impacted… This was most likely -not-thunder/lightning but a bolide... A meteor exploding in the upper atmosphere. The sound was unlike thunder.
@marilyndeutsch@WeatherJefe actually "swamp cooler" 2.0 was not really that. a swamp cooler works on the principle of evaporative cooling. effort-to-keep-wife-cool 2.0 was merely an (extremely primitive) AC... pushing air past something cold. effort 3.0 is probably a hotel room:)
@WeatherJefe@marilyndeutsch great point jeff. i explained this bit of physics to marilyn... but i suspect she thought i was just covering my tracks over a failed DIY effort:)
@ZanHyann @DoctorKimberley@kateisgreat_@aitala@anthonydpaul @mzbedelia @amazon she and hubby are quite easy to find online with a few goog searches. would be good for her to hear from a lawyer... to make her customers whole... or at least not stuck with expensive worthless bricks.
@saltavenger@subinev I would happily pay a non-trivial amount... ie a lot more than .99 cents:)...for an iOS app that would restore functionality to my device. thousands of others likely would too.... please develop one!
@Intervalcam hello friends. Quick question. Does intervalcam support the sony RX100VI camera? in other words can i use intervalcam to control the RX100VI and shoot timelapses with it? thanks:)
