Awash in a Sea of Entropy?

April 11, 2013

4-11-13 WeatherI have been plotting every sinkhole I can find in the news (which is very exciting), the East Coast of the US is covered with them over the past couple of months. …I have never done this previously, so I do not know how many are “normal” but we have a boatload and have had lots of severe weather and have had a very cold spring.

I thought this news coverage was timely:

US suddenly looks like a sinkhole nation

Reports of a new sinkhole come each week. NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez examines the sinkhole epidemic.

The entire East coast is covered with sinkholes and the current storm system covers most of the coast.  I am not trying to connect up all the strings with sinkholes, you can see the doppler for yourself.  I wonder if some of those strings are gravitationally pulled towards other more massive strings/sinkholes, sort of consolidating strings over time, I do not know. My house is currently under a tornado warning tonight again, with a supercell headed our way, so it is back into the basement for the 4th time this year.

I had a new epiphany today.  I think these strings are like wires, when they entangle and approach each other in the atmosphere you get “cloud to cloud” lightning whenever the voltage difference between the wires is great enough to jump the gap between them in the atmosphere.  Likewise, lightning can also jump the gap to the ground as well as possibly to other wires in the upper atmosphere.  Since these “wires” are all connected to different areas of the Earth and atmosphere they have different voltage levels… Below is a wind map and my interpretation of what we are seeing in the atmosphere.

I heard a good song today that is applicable, so I will share that also, Godspeed.
