Egypt was still the lead story, but these two were second and third.

Thanks for posting these. I had trouble figuring out exactly where in the US the storm was, then realized that's because it's covering the *entire* eastern seaboard.

i'm starting to get pretty concerned about the weather. :(

Climate change FTW. :(

(To be clear, I mean this in the sense that more "exciting" weather, in every which direction, is a predicted consequence of global warming/climate change. While this can't be observed from any particular storm, it is certainly consistent with the apparent overall increase in the number of severe weather events of various sorts.)

I am struck by the ubiquity of spirals.

And water.
