Zarin posted:How high can/do mosquitoes fly, how much do telephone poles cost, and how much is screen material per square foot? There were 'mosquito tornadoes' in eastern Russia earlier this year due to the hotter than normal weather causing a population explosion.    Those are actually non-biting lake flies (Chironomidae). In general, mosquitoes that bite humans prefer to fly at heights of less than 25 feet. However, mosquitoes are found breeding in tree holes 50 feet above ground. They are even found thriving in high rise apartment buildings.

Running myself to death away from a cloud of mosquitoes is only slightly less horrifying than being bitten to death by a cloud of mosquitoes.

Weird weather on the east coast of FL tonight. NWS posted:A strong northeast wind surge of 20 to 25 mph gusting to 40 mph, affecting Volusia and northeast Brevard Counties, associated with a "back door" frontal passage, will continue to spread south through this evening. Coastal areas from Cape Canaveral to Melbourne Beach and Sebastian inlet will feel impacts from this surge start through 9 PM. The surge will spread farther south across the Treasure Coast overnight. Showers and heavy rain over northeast Volusia county have produced 3 to 5 inches of rain already and could produce an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain. Heavy showers moving into northern Brevard could produce 1 to 2 inches of rain.Of particular concern, very hazardous beach and boating conditions will develop into tonight with northeasterly winds increasing as large, long-period swells arrive from the Atlantic. Rough, pounding surf and a high risk of numerous strong rip currents can be expected at area beaches along with the potential for moderate to significant beach erosion during high tide cycles at least through Monday. A Coastal Flood Warning starts tonight for the Volusia and Brevard County coasts coincident with a Wind Advisory. For mariners, a Gale Warning will take effect tonight for the coastal waters from Flagler Beach to the Volusia and Brevard County line. A Small Craft Advisory will remain in effect south of there. I looked at Windy and wtf is happening in the Atlantic?  Edit: To be clear I'm not talking about Teddy, I'm talking about the wind patterns everywhere else. snake and bake has issued a correction as of 04:54 on Sep 20, 2020 |

Yeah I looked on the radar and I saw that, I guess it's the frontal system mixed with the moisture from Sally? It literally stretches from the FL coast all the way across the Atlantic to Iceland

Also I guess Western Michigan is having to worry about EEE (Equine Encephalitus or something). Maybe someday I'll just build a screened-in backyard. Even the top, 10 feet up, gently caress it.

Helith posted:A report into the health effects of Australia's Black Summer. This is what's coming for California and Oregon soon Pff, the US doesn't care about this. That cost is shouldered by individuals primarily and a bit by insurance companies when a poor who couldn't leave finally overruns their comically high deductable. Given how late in the year it is, odds are a decent chunk of folks will end up moving into next year's deductable too and end up medically bankrupt. Truly, a victory for privatized healthcare all around.

How is it possible that there is only a tropical storm warning issued for the coastline, when the hurricane-force wind field extends almost all the way to the shore already? Is Canada supposed to eat hurricanes like Texas does?
