We continue to hear about El Nino, the warmer than normal sea-surface temperature event in the south-central Pacific Ocean. Since the spring of 2015, this phenomenon has expanded at a regular pace.

Icebergs - a major threat to navigation

Weather Gems

Once again, I would like to thank Dr. Billy R. Caldwell, Ph.D, a prominent geologist and author of the popular book, "Geology in the Bible" (bcgeology@sbcglobal.net), for providing me with a wealth of knowledge on icebergs. If one would like to talk with Dr. Caldwell, his phone number is (817) 246-5477. His book has been published by Exposure Publishing. I found it a thoroughly interesting read, even for a non-religious person.
