SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. —
The National Weather Service says that a tornado hit Scotts Valley on Saturday.

KSBW 8 meteorologist Gina DeVecchio confirmed the wind event was a tornado.

In a statement, the NWS said:

“For Scotts Valley, video evidence and radar signatures are enough to indicate a tornado did transpire this afternoon. Our survey crews are enroute to further examine the data with local officials so in terms of actual tornado rating, we'll have to wait on that.”

Bless their hearts that's just a baby dust devil 🤠🌪
 
On this last Sunday evening the moon stopped in the sky concluding a 19 year cycle.

More on this can be found in the next links:
www.livescience.com

The 1st 'major lunar standstill' in more than 18 years is about to occur. Here's how to see it.

A major lunar standstill is about to occur. The phenomenon happens every 18.6 years when the moon rises and sets at its most extreme points on the horizon, while also climbing to its highest and lowest point in the sky.

And to here tell more, this is something more commonly known as major lunar standstill, which occurs each 19 years (actually 18.6y), said the full synodic cycle of the moon. So, as explained in the suggested links: The wobbling Moon to reach its farthest-farthest north takes 9.3 years. And it takes another 9.3 years for the moon to get to its farthest-farthest south. Those years combined make 18.6 years representing the full cycle of this journey — i.e. a major lunar standstill.

So, is it not a big deal? Well, apparently the Neolithic Ireland used to give some importance to such event since the ancient monument of Dowth —also called Dubad— is said built with 115 kerbstones surrounding it. This is half of 230 (~229.9), the number of synodic lunar months within the 19 year moon cycle —each synodic month has 29.53 days (period between same lunar phases).

That’s not all. Furthermore it was in Dowth, tells the myth, where king Bressal tried to build a tower to reach the sky, apparently because he had lost most of his cattle. To accomplish such task at one single day, as he intended, his sister stopped the sun in the sky. But, as one likely can already guess, he failed and over that place abruptly came the sunset. So, today his mound is called Dowth, which means darkness.

Oh, yeah, after that somewhat "hecatomb" fallen upon Bressal, he was left with only 7 cows and one bull. So, 8 animals. Ok…?!!!​

Oh, it is funny how this reminds a dream from before all these notes and mentioned research.​

The U.S. Embassy in Port Vila was damaged on Tuesday as a 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu.

The earthquake struck about 18 miles west of the capital just before 1 p.m. local time, the U.S. Geological Survey said. A series of aftershocks followed, but no tsunami warnings were issued.
