Weird compression wave jolts Georgia [KENT STEADMAN] EMAIL RECEIVED Supporting data: http://members.aol.com/phikent/orbit/orbit.html Specifically: http://www.cbjd.net/orbit/project/atmosphere_shock.html Date: 1/10/00 7:10:09 PM Pacific Standard Time At 03:32 UTC January 10, 2000 (22:32 EST January 9) I was startled by a compression wave that stuck my home near Lilburn, GA. The wave rattled my house for approximately 1 second and caused my ears to pop. It felt similar to an explosive blast except that there was no accompanying surface vibration, light or sound. Having been an amateur weather observer for many years, I don't believe the burst was due to normal meteorological phenomena. The weather at the time was calm with light mist, fog, and 100% low dense overcast, and air temperatures near 60 degrees F. Based on previous experience I'd estimate the burst was in the range of 40-60 mph. It appeared to originate from aloft and northward. Interestingly, I noticed my first nacreous clouds the evening before. While investigating this event, I found some other interesting and possibly related items. http://www.cbjd.net/orbit/project/atmosphere_shock.html Post to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List info: www.topica.com/lists/ewar _____________________________________________________________ Check out the new and improved Topica site! http://www.topica.com/t/13
