In Purgatorio 12.16-21, #Dante describes effigial tombs:
Come, perché di lor memoria sia,
sovra i sepolti le tombe terragne
portan segnato quel ch’elli eran pria,
onde lì molte volte si ripiagne
per la puntura de la rimembranza,
che solo a’ pïi dà de le calcagne /3

#Florence’s most famous cathedral, Saint Mary of the Flower, is featured prominently in Netflix’s #Medici, #Hannibal and other movies and shows. Here’s the history of that beautiful building and its amazing dome!
#nspoli #cbpoli #novascotia #capebreton
#nspoli #cbpoli #novascotia #capebreton
The cathedral’s first stone was laid on September 8, 1296 and construction continued for about a century and a half. The plans for the cathedral evolved as different builders took over the project. When completed in the 1400s, it was the largest church in Europe.
#nspoli #cbpoli
#nspoli #cbpoli
Today, it is the third largest church in the world (after St. Peter's in Rome and St. Paul's in London). It is 153 metres long, 90 metres wide at the crossing, and 90 metres high from the floor to the bottom of the lantern.

(3) 1 of 2 tweets from DHS Sec Nielsen:
@EricHolthaus Now let's talk about solutions. First of all, slow the bleeding. QUIT CLOSING #NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. Oyster Creek shutting down is like taking a baseball bat to over 5 Ivanpah solar plants; it produced ~5400 GWh zero-GHG per year vs Ivanpah's 990 GWh.
@EricHolthaus The replacement power isn't coming from solar and wind, guys. It's coming from natural gas and coal. Solar and wind can't compete with the kind of reliable capacity factor Oyster Creek delivered 24/7.
@EricHolthaus #nuclear power stations that are "unprofitable" are largely so because of cheap natural gas + renewables forcing nuke operators to deal with negative electricity prices. atomicinsights.com/why-cant-exist… NG won't be cheap forever, but #climatechange will continue getting worse.
This from @guypbenson is comprehensive. #HoldTheVote, both in @senjudiciary this week and Senate next and allow voters in November to judge their senators on the ballot accordingly. Of course Dr. Blasey Ford will have ample opportunity to state her allegations often, but delay
after the allegation has been in the ranking member’s possession for so long and not raised is to diagram a destructive playbook for every future nomination. Senators should have to exercise their judgment and be accountable for it. #HoldTheVote. Tomorrow’s and this week’s shows
and the following week’s until the vote will be little else besides updates on #Florence recovery and #HoldTheVote.
All coastal areas impacted by waves/winds will bear the fruit of Israel spoken of by Paul:
Consider it all joy when you encounter various trials for “All flesh is like grass & all its glory like the flower of grass “Awake, sleeper, arise from the dead, Christ will shine on you.”

There are 9 potentially deadly storms that seem to be telling a story if we break down their meanings behind the names of each storm.

25.4 ft now. rate of rise finally beginning to slow a little.
OMG. The USGS Stream Sensor at #NewRiver near #GumBranch above #JacksonvilleNC is already at 19.5 feet and rising FAST. Flood stage is 14ft and the record is 25ft. #Florence
#NewRiver above #JacksonvilleNC has risen .4ft in the last 15minutes to 19.9ft. That's 1.6ft/hr. If that keeps up it will blow past the it's all-time record for flooding in just over 3hrs from now.
3550 cubic feet per second discharge. >100x the historical daily average of 32 cu ft/sec. The curve goes straight up at one point.
Storm surge built up over of several days, starting when #florence was a cat 4 or strong cat 3 storm. That "baked in” the roughly-10ft storm surge from Cape Hatteras to Myrtle Beach, NC.

@MichaelEMann at gu.com/p/9ckb6/stw
Because warmer oceans mean more moisture in the atmosphere, "for each 1C of warming, there is about 7% more moisture in the air". #florencehurricane is generating about 10% more rainfall due to 1.5C-above-normal temps, increasing risk of additional inland flooding.
The destructive potential of a hurricane is the cube of wind speed. (News to me.) #florencehurricane had a 11% increase in wind speed due to warm water; that's a 33% increase in destructive potential.

Tree broken off the stump, showing winds were strong enough that sodden soil wasn't always a factor. Being Cat 1 =/= low risk.

#Florence storm surge
Wilmington 4.9ft and RISING
Storm surge just getting started in areas near landfall. will grow as Flo moves west. Remember: wind direction drives storm surge, & hurricanes rotate counter clockwise. so areas in direct path of storm get surge AFTER passing

freshwater flooding may be days out still. but will be significant as slow moving #Florence drops heavy rain throughout the region for the next 36+hrs & that water makes it's way to streams & rivers. If you live in the region, check your nearest sensor! stn.wim.usgs.gov/FEV/#FlorenceS…
1. As a NC resident, I get the #Florence is a big deal. But still I think the media has been hyperbolic and dishonest in its reporting on anticipated effects on outlying areas. I have a friend who's convinced our area would have 80mph winds and 20 inches of rain by 2 am this a.m.
2. So convinced, he packed up his family and drove to Tulsa OK to wait out the storm, posting on FB during the trip on how bad it was going to be in my area.
Here is the current hourly forecast:
Here is the current hourly forecast:
3. We had worse sustained winds in SoCal when the Santa Ana's came through. The rainfall forecast in my area is a couple inches per day. My friend evacuated to Tornado Alley for this. The media needs to cut the ratings game and be accurate with it's reporting. It's ridiculous.
