The rain really cut off along a straight line just North of Mays Landing. The NWS has completely changed the website for hydrologic data, it's kind of confusing but I suppose the old one was nothing to write home about either. :D

Story on CNN this morning, makes him sound like a hero :D https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/23/us/missing-california-hiker-rescue-lukas-mcclish/index.html

Nothing here. My car was all dusty from drive through Peaslee yesterday, didn't bother to hose it down because I figured the storm would rinse it off. Stilll just as dusty this morning, literally not a drop of rain overnight. Was just in Mays Landing and they didn't have any rain there either...

I wonder if he will be receiving a bill for this? "His disappearance into California’s Big Basin Redwoods State Park would prompt a search that involved about 300 people, emergency personnel from several agencies..."

This forecast shows most of the rain in the South. Was also wondering about that "few brief tornadoes" comment in the earlier post. Looks unlikely for most of the pines and only a 2% chance for the rest of our region... More info here: https://digital.weather.gov

Rain on the way tomorrow night... forecast says 1/4 to 1/2 inch in Wharton, 1/2 to 3/4 inch down in my part of Atlantic County. Looks like just a rain event, without any strong winds.

I think North-Up and Track-Up both have legitimate uses. But in the case of the nature preserve map, I just don't see any reason to rotate it 90 degrees with East at the top. If it's a case where the map is short and wide but it has to fit in a tall, skinny space on a printed page, that makes...

I was trying to reconcile that small parcel with the website that said the preserve was over 800 acres and just got more confused by the map on their site. Then I looked at the compass on the map... East is at the top! Why would they do that? Just to confuse people? The map is basically square...

I've been there, although many years ago. Always thought that name was curious, never even considered that "Lizard's Tail" was a plant! :cool: https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/lizard-tail-swamp-preserve/...

They really need to make this kind of thing easier and more obvious. Of course, there's also the question of whether you can trust them. But let's say they're trustworthy and actually don't share any of your data. Then, they get hacked and now your data is available to any bad guy who can afford...

My 2023 car has all those sensors and alerts and yeah, the braking alerts can be very startling and usually there's no apparent reason. But it's all optional (AFAIK) and you only get the alerts when the assistive options are enabled (like adaptive cruise control). But it's all very confusing...

That battle was already lost without a fight. License plate scanners are everywhere, there are businesses that lease them and even small towns have signed up, installing stationary ones and also putting them on police cars where they constantly harvest data from every car they pass. And if...

"New cars must beep and display a warning if the driver exceeds the speed limit by at least ten mph." I don't think it would be much of an issue for me if it only happens at 10mph above the limit. It would be rare for me to go that fast. I generally stay pretty close to the limit, have never...

According to this map, the Pines will be be just about the coolest place in the whole Northeast this week. :dance:

Took me a few minutes to figure out where this is because I don't think it's actually part of Toms River like the article says. I think it's here: https://boydsmaps.com/#19.00/40.000262/-74.081916/njgin2020/0.00/0.00 https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/40.000262/-74.081916/pines2023/0.00/0.00...

Are you talking about an online map on my site? If so, I believe my 2020 map is the only one that matches your description. It's a dark-themed topo and it does show historical POI in purple, but that sawmill is not on the map. My old Garmin maps could be viewed with dark colors if you selected...
