Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Looks like a railroad bridge washed out on the Yellowstone river in Montana, sending rail cars hauling petroleum products into the river and leaking. We have been having lots of rain almost daily since early may. Flood warnings yesterday & today.
Rainfall every two to three days in Texas panhandle.Frequency is slightly increased for this time of year,but volume and duration is greatly increased.Yellowstone ultimately dumps to pacicfic and gulf of Mexico.Sulfer leaking.Dont remember what else.Watch the water ?
Can hardly find a good time to mow the grass between rains. I think the volcano's in Mexico & S America may have something to do with it.
I'm in NC and we have had a lot of rain. We needed it bad. Last few years the grass has been dying until the summer rains hit. I'm not up to date on Mexico volcanoes but US volcanoes are at normal levels or range. I follow USG volcanoes on social. At least that's what was posted a couple days ago.
They're just finishing up the NTSB hearings on East Palestine.
