After a stunning day of rapid intensification, Hurricane Erick made landfall in a sparsely populated area just east of Punta Maldonado near the border of Oaxaca and Guerrero states on Mexico’s southern Pacific coast around 8 a.m. EST on Thursday, June 19. Erick’s top sustained winds at that time were estimated by the National Hurricane Center at 125 mph, making it a category 3 landfall. There were no initial reports of major damage from Erick.

Hurricane warnings are flying along the Pacific coast of Mexico from Acapulco eastward to Puerto Ángel as rapidly intensifying Hurricane Erick steams toward an expected Thursday morning landfall.

Senator Mike Lee’s recent tweets were hurtful and out of touch. They lacked empathy during a tragic moment and deserved the backlash they received. But he is far from the only elected official to post something thoughtless online. Both Republicans and Democrats have tweeted things that were tone-deaf, false, or intentionally divisive. The bigger issue is how uneven the response tends to be. When someone on the right posts something controversial, it becomes a scandal.

Excellent thread on the current event and on why what's been happening solar-storm-wise in 2024-25 isn't that unusual historically (and why it may seem like it is).
Yesterday’s moderately-sized (M8-class) #SolarFlare produced a massive eruption (a coronal mass ejection), currently en route to Earth. Forecasters have issued a ‘severe’ geomagnetic storm watch (G4 on G1-5 scale). Expect to see misinformation about this, so here are some facts: https://t.co/kaZ68ye68C
