Random thoughts, occasional rants, illuminating commentary, and an odd story now and then from the world of 9-1-1 dispatching. All this and more from a gay liberal atheist living in California’s Bible belt. I recently married, so MAGA beware! I’m your worst nightmare! Some names have been omitted to protect the innocent, but the guilty will be hung out to dry!

SuperMoon Today! Run for your lives!
March 19, 2011
Jim Reeves commentary, geek, News Earth, Moon, SuperMoon, the Moon's orbit 2 Comments
Tsunamis! Earthquakes! Werewolves! Really bad news reports!
The world may come to an end!
Or not.
The full moon that makes it’s appearance tonight will seem about 14% bigger than when it’s at it’s furthest distance from the Earth. The tides will be affected by maybe an inch in most places, and up to 6 inches in some geographically odd locales. Beachfront residents might want to move the chaise lounges back a foot, just to be safe.
It didn’t cause the recent Japanese earthquake. Any quakes that happen today won’t have been caused by it’s nearness.
There’s something you need to remember about the Moon, tonight’s super fullness, and the effect it has on the Earth.
