This is about 1 hour before the storm really took off and built up. You can see the aqua in the center of the frame which indicates a hail core. There was some good, earth-shaking lightning with this portion of the storm, but most of it was wrapped in the rain and aside from a slight flash every once in a while the only indication there was lightning was the thunder.

Cornell University reports indications of 'substantial prevalence' of COVID-19 on campus
The school recorded 515 positive COVID-19 infections among community members.
After a significant viral outbreak before winter break in December, COVID-19 infection levels at Cornell University had markedly declined, as the omicron surge receded, and students returned to campus for the spring semester.
However, as new case totals begin to tick up in the state of New York, the campus is once again reporting a viral resurgence. This week, Cornell elevated its COVID-19 alert system to "yellow," indicating that transmission is rising, and prevalence of the virus is above predicted levels.
Between March 17 and March 23, Cornell recorded 515 positive COVID-19 infections among students, staff and faculty, according to data from the university.
"COVID-19 cases on the Ithaca campus are increasing beyond our predictions, indicating a substantial prevalence of the virus on campus," Provost Michael Kotlikoff said in a statement on Wednesday. "This rising transmission is likely due to a number of factors, including relaxing mask requirements, the emergence of the BA.2 variant, and increased social activities."
Data shows 97% of the student population is vaccinated, while 92% of those eligible are boosted.
At this time, all unvaccinated or unboosted students, faculty, and staff are required to participate in surveillance testing. Cornell provides symptomatic test kits to community members who are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms suggestive of COVID-19.
"The majority of positive cases being reported on campus are from symptomatic testing, which tells us that there are even more asymptomatic cases within our community," Kotlikoff wrote.
The increase comes less than two weeks after the school dropped its mask mandate for most locations, though community members are still required to wear masks when in certain settings, such as classrooms and laboratories, at health care and testing facilities, and on public transportation.
Given the resurgence, the university strongly encourages community members to get tested before and after spring break, which is not for another week.
With increasing viral transmission occurring overseas, federal officials have been warning that the U.S. is likely to see an uptick in COVID-19 cases in the weeks to come, as the presence of the omicron subvariant, BA.2, spreads across the country.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Wednesday her agency is "carefully" watching New England and New York City for increases of the BA.2 variant after they found slight increases in the presence of COVID-19 in wastewater surveillance.
"Currently, we're seeing a modest uptick of sites reporting an increase of virus levels in wastewater in some communities. In fact, over the past two weeks we have seen increasing wastewater signals in New York City and parts of New England, where we are now seeing increases in cases and some increased hospitalizations," Walensky said during a White House COVID-19 briefing.
Walensky said officials have been focused largely on hospitalization metrics, to guide potential future guidance on masking and restriction measures.
"If cases do go up, we have the framework to implement additional layers of prevention strategies at the local level to swiftly protect individuals and communities," Walensky said.
Many experts have been warning that the virus may be already spreading rapidly across the country.
Dozens of states have moved to shutter public testing sites, with more at-home COVID-19 tests now available in pharmacies, and through the federal testing program. Most Americans are not reporting their results to officials, and thus, experts said infection totals are likely significantly undercounted.
Nationwide, BA.2, now accounts for more than a third of new COVID-19 cases. Many top health officials, including Walensky and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, have said that they anticipate that over the next few weeks, BA.2 will become the predominant variant in the U.S.
Although breakthrough COVID-19 infections surged during the omicron wave, data from the CDC shows vaccines still dramatically reduced the risk of requiring hospitalization or dying of the virus.
In January, unvaccinated adults were 9 times more likely to die of COVID-19, compared to vaccinated individuals, and six times more likely to require hospitalization.
Additionally, unvaccinated adults were about 21 times more likely to die of COVID-19 in January, and 12 times more likely to require hospitalization, compared to fully vaccinated and boosted adults.

Omicron subvariant BA.2 spreading rapidly in L.A. and across the nation
The percentage of Omicron subvariant BA.2 cases is rising in Los Angeles County, a trend seen elsewhere nationwide as officials sound the alarm about Congress’ failure to provide critical funding for vaccinations, tests and anti-COVID drugs.
Officials in L.A. County and nationally have warned about the risk to public health if new pandemic federal funding fails to be approved. There is no money left to reimburse doctors for COVID care for uninsured Americans, and funds will soon run out to provide vaccinations, Xavier Becerra, the U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services, said this week.
According to data released Thursday, 14.7% of coronavirus samples analyzed for L.A. County between Feb. 27 to March 5 were the highly contagious BA.2 subvariant. That’s more than double the previous week’s figure of 6.4%.
L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer continued to urge residents to adhere to the strong recommendation issued by her department and state health officials to continue masking in indoor public settings.
“Along with the increasing circulation of the more-infectious BA.2 subvariant, everyone, especially those who are at elevated risk or live with someone at elevated risk, should wear a high-quality mask and get vaccinated and boosted,” Ferrer said in a statement Thursday.
More recent national estimates have suggested BA.2 will quickly become dominant soon. BA.2 comprised an estimated 35% of analyzed samples between March 13 and March 19; the previous week, it made up 22%, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In the Southwestern U.S. — which includes California, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii — BA.2 made up an estimated 41% of coronavirus samples. The previous week, it was 28%. And for the first time, BA.2 is the now estimated to be the dominant subvariant in the Northeast, making up more than half the analyzed coronavirus cases in New York, New Jersey and New England.
BA.2 is believed to be 30% to 60% more contagious than the earlier Omicron subvariant. BA.2, however, doesn’t appear to result in more severe illness, and it’s likely that people recently infected with the earlier Omicron subvariant will have a decent degree of at least short-term immunity to BA.2.
It’s not clear whether the rise of BA.2 will result in a major surge that will strain hospitals yet again, or whether BA.2 will merely slow the continued decline in new coronavirus cases. But officials say it’s prudent to be prepared for the worst, wear masks in indoor public spaces and get up-to-date on vaccinations and booster shots.
One potential warning sign is from Britain, which has seen its coronavirus case rate more than triple since late February and is reporting more than 1,100 cases a week for every 100,000 residents, according to Johns Hopkins University. Coronavirus-positive hospitalizations are also up by 20% in Britain over the last week, and deaths are on an upward trend as well, according to Britain’s coronavirus data tracking website.
But not all European nations are seeing a BA.2-fueled surge; Spain’s case rate is much lower than Britain’s and appears to be flat, at around 250 cases a week for every 100,000 residents.
In the U.S., the Northeast is likely to provide some hints as to how BA.2 might influence pandemic trends in California.
“Over the past week, we have seen a small increase in reported COVID-19 cases in New York state and New York City, and some increases in people in the hospital with COVID-19 in New England, specifically, where the BA.2 variant has been reaching levels above 50%,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Wednesday.
“This small increase in cases in the Northeast is something that we are closely watching as we look for any indication of an increase in severe disease from COVID-19 and track whether it represents any strain on our hospitals. We have not yet seen this so far,” Walensky said.
Cases are relatively flat nationwide and in California. In L.A. County, coronavirus cases are still continuing to decline, when accounting for a backlog of cases recently reported that actually occurred earlier in the pandemic.
Officials in L.A. County and at the White House have voiced deep worry about Congress’ failure to provide additional federal funding to respond to the pandemic.
Last week, Ferrer said because of the stalemate in Washington, many of L.A. County’s community groups were no longer expected to be reimbursed for the vaccination or testing of uninsured people as of this week, a situation that “wrecks our network immediately.”
“We need to be prepared for a potential challenge in the future — and in the near future. We don’t want to be caught off guard,” Ferrer said.
Added Dr. Sara Cody, the public health director for Santa Clara County, Northern California’s most populous county, last week: “COVID funding has essentially collapsed. That is breathtaking and shocking in the middle of a global pandemic.”
Becerra said at a press briefing Wednesday that there’s no money left in the fund Congress created to reimburse doctors for COVID care to Americans, particularly the uninsured. The fund will also need to stop accepting new claims for vaccination services around April 5 — less than two weeks away.
“Examples of entities this will impact include, but are not limited to, ambulances, testing providers, pharmacies, clinics and hospitals,” officials from the L.A. County Department of Public Health said in response to an inquiry from The Times. “The county’s options to address this lack of funding are limited as it is a federal program.”
Maintaining the capacity to administer hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses and coronavirus tests per day, as well as ready access to therapeutics, are also major components of the COVID-19 preparedness blueprint California unveiled last month.
“As we move into the third year dealing with COVID, we know a lot more. We know how to use the tools in the toolkit. We’re hoping not to use them all all the time, but we know how to use them in more precise ways, what metrics matter,” Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s health and human services secretary, said during an appearance this week on the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s “Public Health On Call” podcast.
But it remains to be seen how, or whether, the lack of new federal funding might affect the state’s goals. The California Department of Public Health “is aware of changes to COVID-19-related federal reimbursement and is assessing the impact on state programs and constituencies,” officials said in a statement Friday.
“Our priority throughout the pandemic has been to provide all Californians, irrespective of insurance status or ability to pay, access to testing and vaccines,” the statement continued. “We continue to be focused on this priority and will ensure that we provide these important services based on the needs of individuals and communities, and not based on the bureaucratic structures of government or the specific funding sources.”
Already, the U.S. government has had to cancel a purchase of some potentially life-saving anti-COVID drugs that had been planned for this week. The federal supply of a type of anti-COVID drug, known as monoclonal antibodies, will likely run out in May if funding is not replenished, Becerra said. The monoclonal antibodies that can be used against the Omicron variant are sotrovimab and bebtelovimab.
In addition, the federal government now must scale back plans to buy more doses of Evusheld, a drug intended to prevent COVID-19 among people who haven’t been exposed to the coronavirus, and either have a weakened immune system because of a medical condition or cannot get vaccinated for medical reasons. “This increases the risk of having an insufficient supply of this treatment by the fall,” Becerra said.
The U.S. government has enough vaccines to give immunocompromised people a fourth dose this spring, and, if eventually authorized, fourth doses to seniors and other vulnerable people. But if a fourth dose — also known as a second booster shot — is made available for the general public, the current funding situation will result in the U.S. not having an adequate supply for all Americans, said Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 task force coordinator.
“Not having enough vaccines is completely unacceptable, as vaccines have proven to be our single most important tool in protecting Americans. We should be securing additional supply right now,” Zients said at a news briefing Wednesday. “Many other countries are already doing so. In fact, Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Hong Kong have already secured future booster doses.”
Without additional funds, the U.S. also risks losing its domestic testing manufacturing capacity. “And because it takes months to ramp back up to rebuild capacity, failure to invest now will leave us with insufficient testing capacity and supply if we see another surge in cases and demand for testing increases once again. That should not be allowed to happen,” Zients said.
“These consequences will only get more significant over time, with less treatments, vaccines, and tests for the American people,” Zients added.

Silverton:
The first indication of silver–lead mineralisation in the Barrier Rangers came in late 1875 with the discovery of galena by Julius Charles Nickel and Dan McLean while they were well sinking on Thackaringa Station, near the South Australian - New South Wales border.
In 1879 John Stokie established a store at Umberumberka, 19 km north of Thackaringa. He continued prospecting and discovered silver–lead veins nearby, which he pegged with Edward Pegler in November 1881. A 100 ton parcel of ore was shipped to England for a 40% profit. The following October the Umberumberka Silver Lead Mining Company Ltd was floated with nominal capital of £20 000. Umberumberka was the second area of silver–lead mineralisation discovered in the Barrier Ranges and the new company was the first to be publicly floated. The town of Silverton soon developed close to the mine and became the main settlement of the growing silver field.
Silverton was surveyed in 1883, by which time Australia had a population of 2, 250, 194. By September that year, the population of Silverton was 250, and by December 1883 it had doubled. That year the Day Dream Mine opened and attracted an additional population of 400 - 500 people. In 1884 1,222 mineral leases, 937 business permits and 114 miners' rights were issued. That same year 6,000 tonnes of ore were extracted and the town acquired its own newspaper, the Silver Age.
By 1885 - 1886 the town's population had reached 3,000. Silverton was proclaimed a township in 1885 and a municipality the following year. In 1885 a short-lived smelter was established at Day Dream Mine, operating for only a year. In 1892 the Umberumberka Mine closed, followed by the Day Dream Mine. The Pioneer Mine at Thackaringa closed in 1897. By 1901, after miners had moved to the richer fields at Broken Hill, the town went into decline and only 286 people remained. Today the town has a population of around 50 people, most of whom work in tourism.
The Silverton Tramway Company:
The Silverton Tramway Company, a rare private railway of 50klms in length, was incorporated in New South Wales October 14, 1886 and the line was completed and opened for traffic on January 12, 1888. One of only two privately owned railways in the state, the tramway was originally founded to transport ore from local mines in the Broken Hill and Silverton region into South Australia. The company soon branched out, not only carrying ore from the mines but freighted other goods and offered a passenger service which accounted for a third of their business.
The company serviced travellers on long trips heading interstate to Semaphore (Adelaide) to the Largs Bay Holiday Camp and excursions for local community groups often conveying passengers to Silverton and McCulloch Park (at Stephens Creek) for the day and returning to Broken Hill in the afternoon. When traveling to South Australia the train would travel from Broken Hill, through Silverton and then to Burns which is on the New South Wales side of the border of Cockburn (a town divided by the NSW/SA border).
In 1927 the New South Wales government completed the railway from Sydney to Broken Hill, thus joining the Silverton Tramway and completing the link from Sydney to Adelaide. It played a strategic role in the trans-Australia network until 1970, when it was surpassed by the New South Wales Government Railways (Indian-Pacific). From 1888-1970 it was critical to the economic functioning of Broken Hill, by providing the key transport of ore to the Port Pirie smelters. It played a significant role in the politics and recreation of Broken Hill, and a crucial role at times of water shortage in Broken Hill.
Today, Silverton resides in the Unincorporated Area of New South Wales (NSW) and so does not feature a City Council. It is run by the Silverton Village Committee, who to this day hold their quarterly meetings in the Silverton Municipal Chambers.

If a Google image search is any indication (and it might not be at all), Bowman Gum Inc. were more concerned with packaging baseball, football, and basketball cards with their gum, rather than cards with Hollywood starlets. I was sort of hoping that Mona Freeman had an interesting Hollywood (rise and fall and rise?) story behind her. No such drama. Nothing that I can find anyway... although I did find this picture of her in a swimsuit eating a giant ice cream cone. ...
The IMDB provided her resume, of course. Her most famous credit was "The Heiress" in 1949, which won four of the eight Academy Awards for which it was nominated. It was directed by William Wyler, who directed "Ben Hur" and "Roman Holiday" Ms. Freeman's last professional acting gig was in 1972, in the TV movie "Welcome Home, Johnny Bristol", (starring Martin Landau and Martin Sheen) when she was 46. She married Los Angeles businessman Jack Ellis and he adopted her daughter from a prior marriage. He died in 1992. She died in 2014.
For February's images for my 365 Project, I decided to make images of things I've found in my street.
I only live in a short street and it will be a real challenge to find 28 images that test me.
I hurriedly took this image before we left home this morning close to dawn, knowing I would be home later today.

That year the Day Dream Mine opened and attracted an additional population of 400 - 500 people. In 1884 1,222 mineral leases, 937 business permits and 114 miners' rights were issued. That same year 6,000 tonnes of ore were extracted and the town acquired its own newspaper, the Silver Age.
By 1885 - 1886 the town's population had reached 3,000. Silverton was proclaimed a township in 1885 and a municipality the following year. In 1885 a short-lived smelter was established at Day Dream Mine, operating for only a year. In 1892 the Umberumberka Mine closed, followed by the Day Dream Mine. The Pioneer Mine at Thackaringa closed in 1897. By 1901, after miners had moved to the richer fields at Broken Hill, the town went into decline and only 286 people remained. Today the town has a population of around 50 people, most of whom work in tourism.
The Silverton Tramway Company:
The Silverton Tramway Company, a rare private railway of 50klms in length, was incorporated in New South Wales October 14, 1886 and the line was completed and opened for traffic on January 12, 1888. One of only two privately owned railways in the state, the tramway was originally founded to transport ore from local mines in the Broken Hill and Silverton region into South Australia. The company soon branched out, not only carrying ore from the mines but freighted other goods and offered a passenger service which accounted for a third of their business.
The company serviced travellers on long trips heading interstate to Semaphore (Adelaide) to the Largs Bay Holiday Camp and excursions for local community groups often conveying passengers to Silverton and McCulloch Park (at Stephens Creek) for the day and returning to Broken Hill in the afternoon. When traveling to South Australia the train would travel from Broken Hill, through Silverton and then to Burns which is on the New South Wales side of the border of Cockburn (a town divided by the NSW/SA border).
In 1927 the New South Wales government completed the railway from Sydney to Broken Hill, thus joining the Silverton Tramway and completing the link from Sydney to Adelaide. It played a strategic role in the trans-Australia network until 1970, when it was surpassed by the New South Wales Government Railways (Indian-Pacific). From 1888-1970 it was critical to the economic functioning of Broken Hill, by providing the key transport of ore to the Port Pirie smelters. It played a significant role in the politics and recreation of Broken Hill, and a crucial role at times of water shortage in Broken Hill.
Today, Silverton resides in the Unincorporated Area of New South Wales (NSW) and so does not feature a City Council. It is run by the Silverton Village Committee, who to this day hold their quarterly meetings in the Silverton Municipal Chambers.

The weather we are having feels extreme, but I don't know that it is an indication of climate change. It is hard to say just which moment is the tipping point. But this summer sure was brutal around here. I went down to Atlanta for a family matter and when I got back, the northeast was in the midst of a heat wave that would have done Phoenix proud. It was about five thirty in the afternoon when I landed at White Plains and when I got off the plane, it felt like I had opened the door to the oven to check how the cookies were browning. Yipes.
It was a one-two punch, what with the drought and all. The grass got crispy. Trees started to die. And at work, the traps I was monitoring were often pretty empty. I was working all over the state and it was bad. The entomologists all said it was the worst collecting year they'd ever seen. The weren't making wild claims. Scientists are cautious like that. If a bunch of them do tell you there is something to be worried about and you choose to ignore them, you are a fool. If you choose to ignore them based on what somebody who has a profit-based stake in the situation says, or what some mean and vain media pundit says, you are even more of a fool, you are being aggressively ignorant. You are sticking your fingers in your ears and going LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU at the very people who spend their lives carefully and thoughtfully and deliberately studying these issues. There's a hefty dose of narcissism in choosing your side based on noise and greed and ignoring the serious researchers. It's a matter of, I will ignore the data in order to get the answer I want. There's something terribly out of balance about only listening to a few cherry-picked "experts" who are not respected in their fields and who are probably cashing big fat checks from dubious sources.
All of it is out of balance. It's out of balance as all hell. But this weather, the ice and snow this winter, the heat wave this summer, the extremes we have noticed world wide, it's hard to say just where the tipping point is. Where do conditions shift from being outliers to trend? That's a matter for the statisticians. And like all statistics, there are plenty of different ways to analyze. We're all blind men feeling up the same elephant.
So this summer, in the heat, I didn't see as many or any of some of the species or even genera of my beloved bees. There were the honeybees, the ones you all fret about. There were bumblebees, big and fuzzy and sturdy. But plenty of the four-hundred odd other species that fly around these parts were scarce or absent. I don't think I saw a single Coelioxys the whole damn summer. I imagine they were out there, just greatly reduced. But what with development and stupid suburban sprawl everywhere, the habitat many organisms rely on is greatly reduced. So I think what you get are small pockets of diversity, with small populations of animals hanging on as best they can amidst the McMansions and the ecological wastelands that are lawns. (God I HATE lawns. If you must have one, at least do not dump weed killer or pesticide on it. At least let it be a diversity of plants, including those things you chose to call weeds. Don't grow a stupid monoculture to make a damn rug that is nothing but a display to your neighbors that you can conform and a sop to the real estate culture. Property values, property values. We chase after property values at the expense of every other kind of value...)
So you have these tiny populations of bees or whatever, and they are chugging along in that strip of land by the exit ramp, or the swamp behind the highschool. And then you get a bump in conditions and it is too hot or too cold at the wrong time. And the populations crash, just goddamn auger in like a test plane that should have never left the runway. And back before development, there would have been some pockets that would have had milder conditions, and you would have had a few individuals to survive and breed up the numbers again. Now you don't. Diversity tanks. Those of us who care and know and love nature weep.
The rest of humanity just watches Jersey Shore or goes to the mall or something. I don't know. I can't relate. Most people can't tell a bee from a wasp, let alone know that there are many kinds of bees. Most people think all insects are icky and would like to see them gone, never suspecting that if all the insects were gone, the humans would shortly follow them. We need them. We need the plants. It is not a matter of decoration. It is about survival. And people don't know it, can't seem to grasp it. LA LA LA, I'M NOT LISTENING. SHUT UP YOU ARE BRINGING ME DOWN, I WANT TO GO SHOPPING. LA LA LA.
I don't know how this happened. I don't know what goes on in the schools, in the homes. It seems out of balance to me. Or maybe it is me. Maybe I am out of balance. But I am listening. And while I still have some retinal surface, I will be watching. My eyes will be wide open. Even if we're going down, I don't want to miss a bit of it.
