Good morning Explorers! It is a beautiful morning here ,already 81 degrees with a high of 89 expected today in my area of North Carolina . I am thankful I have nowhere to go today .
Yesterday I retrieved my computer back ,and now I owe a friend but that is ok, at least it is back with me and I can get back to videos and such . My plans are to continue to do write ups on here for a while along with any videos I may do on YouTube as I note there are people who enjoy reading the morning news :) .
Looking at the tropics , there is a potential Tropical cyclone now in the Gulf Of Mexico which may affect a very small part of lower Texas but definitely Mexico by Thursday with Tropical storm force winds and flooding .In Texas this will be Brownsville to San Antonio with the worse area being Brownsville and Corpus Christie to Laredo over into Mexico ,as this system makes its way across Mexico . Parts of New Mexico could also see some rain and winds as well . Texas should expect 2-4 feet of storm surge . And 1-3 feet as well .Louisiana may see 1-3 feet as well .
As for earthquakes ,today has been in the 2-4.0 range with the highest earthquake a 5.7 in the South Sandwich Islands . This earthquake was on/near the South America Scotia convergent boundary .This area moves west at 78 mm per year . In this same area is where the South American Antarctic plate divergent boundary meets up with the South American Scotia Plate .
The South Sandwich Islands are a volcanic area .They are a British overseas territory discovered by James Cook in 1775 with the northern 3 discovered by Fabian Bellingshausen in 1819 . The name of the Islands is after John Montagu the 4th Earl of Sandwich . The word south was added to distinguish these islands from the Hawaiian Islands which at that time was known as the Sandwich Islands . The South Sandwich Islands are comprised of 11 volcanic islands and are uninhabited by any permanent residents . The area is mostly fishing ,tourism which takes place around the South Georgia Islands .
