There are windy days, then there are the gales from Lake Erie. The crashing waves and thrashing grass were deafening, and facing the wind directly forced my body to lean and eyes to blur with tears. But despite all that, it was even harder to ignore the view.

☄️✨ A massive #meteor roughly 2 meters wide streaked across the morning sky on March 17, 2026, triggering sonic booms and vibrating #buildings from #Cleveland to #Pittsburgh.

#NASA researchers used #lightning-tracking satellites to determine the object was traveling at over 70,000 km/h (44,000 mph) before it burned up over the #GreatLakes.

Sharing this because I need to hear the sounds of home right now. Lake Superior on a windy autumn day (from October 2025 with Dad in Marquette in Upper Michigan).

“The early alarms are never easy but worth it. Out there, it’s more than just the sky. The quiet rhythm of waves against forming ice, the stillness of the snow-covered shoreline, and that cold, clean air—it all comes together in a way that’s hard to describe and impossible to forget.
Not a bad way to start the day.” - Hayes Scriven
