Disturbance Area Way-Way Out In North Atlantic : 7.18.09
Nelson County, Virginia
It’s been such a quiet year or two for hurricanes that we forget the season actually started on June 1st. There is some activity out in the North Atlantic this weekend. Very far away from the eastern seaboard, but none the less Invest 97, as it’s called by www.wunderground.com is meandering around out there for now. It’s nothing more than a low pressure area with less than a 30% chance of tropical depression development in the next 48 hours, but as we get into the summer more and more, we’ll begin to see more of these developments that may or may not form into something more significant.
Dr. Jeff Masters talks more about it here in his synopsis.
We’ll keep an eye out if it should become anything of interest!
Veteran CBS Newsman, Walter Cronkite, Dead At Age 92 : 7.17.09
New York, NY
Rarely do we cover stories of national significance here on our site. But, this Friday evening we are making an exception. Veteran CBS Newsman Walter Cronkite is dead at age 92. He died in a NY hospital after being seriously ill over the past several days. Like most in my age group, we remember Cronkite either as a child watching black and white television with Cronkite reporting on stories that seemed a lifetime away back then. Others were already adults as he reported on news long before cable news was ever thought of.
My most vivid memory was that of Cronkite reporting on Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. I was just a kid sitting in the floor shelling purple hull peas with my family, watching history being made.
Whether you like Cronkite or not, knew who he was or not, he certainly is a news legend.
