Part 1:
Well, remember the day i was supposed to show the first video blog? Wow was that a bad day... So what exactly happened? Well, you know the short videos that i show, sometimes of storm damage? Those videos are only between 10 seconds and 45 seconds long... These short videos take about 5 minutes to upload onto the blog... So when i recorded a 10 minute long video... Well i think you can understand... The computer almost had a heart attack... So is that it for the video blog? Well what i hope to do is this... I am hoping i can split the videos into parts, just like i normally do on the blog, that way each part is only 1-2 minutes... So, this isn't it for the video blog, and I'll keep you updated on what we decide! Thanks for understanding, and I'm sorry i haven't blogged in a while... The whole video thing kind of threw me off...
Part 2:
I am sure you have all heard by now, whether it's affecting you or not, about the volcano eruption in Iceland!!!! On top of that, the extent of what this eruption is doing... It's affecting health, travel, and economy... But there are a lot of details about this disaster that many don't know... First of all, how often does this volcano actually erupt? Well, not since the 1800's!!!! So not very often... In fact, until recently, it has been under the dormant category... Even though the airports hope to begin flights again sometime this week, how likely is that? Well, it's not very likely at all... There is only about a 30% chance that any of the major airports re-open sometime this week, and it is almost impossible to tell when the major airports will re-open... So why is it so hard to predict when the airports will re-open? This is because this volcano can stop erupting tomorrow... Or it can keep erupting for up to 1 year!!!! So what are the options for these airports? Well there are very few... One is to remain closed until they get the O.K. from the experts... Of course this would mean a major crash for the economy... The second option is to begin flying in the "no fly zone" This area is below the ash cloud, which is probably pretty low for a plane to fly... Even flying this low, the plane could still be affected by the ash clouds... The last option, which i am strongly against, is trying to just fly normally, and hope for the best... This one sounds stupid, but it is one that the airports are considering... They have been fly passenger less flights over the past couple of days, trying to avoid the ash clouds, and according to the associated press, all flights have been successful with no reported damage... Of course, it is not only the flights being affected by this disaster... It's the economy as well... Already, an estimated price of 800 million dollars has been lost, and each day, they are loosing up to 154 million dollars!!!! If travel and economy weren't already enough, health is doing poorly too... Experts are already issuing health warnings and advisories all across Europe, as the ash cloud falls down toward the ground... Keep here for more updates on the continuing disaster...
Part 3:
Well, the continuing weather story... Normal... Temperatures all across the Northeast are returning back to normal, after the freezing and even snowy weekend for some... The upcoming week will be completely average... With temperatures in the upper 50's, lower 60's, and even some mid and upper 60's, further south...
Part 4:
Just quickly... Westport will be nice and very sunny this week, so enjoy the break... Temps will be in the 60's with sunshine the whole week...
