AI Thread Summary
Tropical Storm Sara has formed in the Caribbean Sea and is projected to move northwest over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche. The storm is expected to shift northeast while traversing the Gulf of Mexico, potentially impacting the Florida Gulf Coast, particularly areas just north of Tampa. Heavy rainfall and the risk of catastrophic flooding are anticipated along the Gulf Coast, affecting regions in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and northern Florida. The storm's trajectory is being closely monitored, especially due to recent hurricane activity in the area.

Let's see how close predictions come to reality.

Tropical Storm, Sara, formed in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Honduras. It is expected to move NW over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche (Spanish: Bahía de Campeche), or Campeche Sound, in the southern portion of the Gulf of Mexico. Over the bay, Sara is expected to turn to the NE and traverse the Gulf of Mexico to the Florida Gulf Coast, perhaps just north of Tampa, Florida.

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.
