Out of all the stats that will be in history books from Melissa, this is the most astounding to me.
GLM data was recording a peak flash rate of 700 strikes per minute — nearly 12 per second — as it made landfall on Jamaica. That’s rewriting our understanding flash density in tropical cyclones.

Why is this couched as him sending "signals" when he outright says what he's going to do?

The mineral zircon has played a central role in understanding deep time. These detrital zircons are from Cambrian sandstones in NY, and they have accumulated radiation damage, which causes disorder and volume changes. This mosaic took some time to make. All c-axis aligned. #thinsectionthursday
