Steve Schumacher from The Weather Channel is an incredibly talented Paramotor pilot. He rented a cargo van and drove to Fairfield, IL to capture this breathtaking view of the eclipse... a mile above the ground!

It truly is an experience that is hard to find the words to describe it! The deciding where to travel, analyzing of cloud layers in the forecast… plus all of the emotions of witnessing a #totalsolareclipse !

Thank you to Mike Seidel & Sam Seidel! Mike took the sun pictures!!

This April #snowstorm has provided some pretty decent end of the season #skiing in the Catskills north of #NYC . Hunter Mountain has picked up 13' of snow so far. It's 27° with 24 trails and 4 lifts open.
Grab those runs while you can!

Strongest #earthquake to strike New Jersey in nearly 250 years, and 3rd strongest on record for the state in 280 years of record-keeping (1737-2017). The only 2 stronger ones: a 5.2 mag in 1737 and 5.3 mag in 1783! Source: nj.gov/njoem/mitigati…

NYC, NJ EARTHQUAKE: Preliminary magnitude 4.8 earthquake occurred a short time ago 18 miles north of Plainfield, NJ (magnitude via USGS). This data is unofficial and will be refined as we move forward. No tsunami risk is anticipated.

Atlantic seasonal #hurricane forecast from Colorado State University calls for very active season: 23 named storms, 11 hurricanes & 5 major hurricanes. Extremely warm tropical Atlantic and likely #LaNina are the primary reasons.
