This may be the last day of our extended cool / wettish period (mostly below 20C/68F days, nights mostly below 10C/50F- sometimes not far above freezing + lots of rain) for most of July, at least. I'm happy with this, but farmers probably want a bit of warmer drier weather for ripening crops and getting more hay harvested (many managed, surprisingly enough). Starting tomorrow is a heatwave 😉 4 days from 25-27C 77-81F with nights 9-13C 48-55F. After tonight no rain till Friday #weather #Alberta

On July 5, Tako Koning led a trip to Knudsen’s Farm near Huxley, AB, to view the K-Pg extinction layer! After a talk in town, we hiked to see the layer up close, then visited Dry Island Buffalo Jump Park for lunch, where the layer is also visible on the bluffs. A great start to the field trip season!

@TheyOfHIShirts I came across your proposal (Does anyone else have this same wild idea?)

heofhishirts.neocities.org/pre

I’m on the board of The #Alberta #Library and maybe we could make this happen.

I will keep searching for examples, but if you know of any please let me know.

Hey #yeg #edmonton #alberta, if you can toss a few bucks towards a #TransWoman who got struck by lightning the other day, that'd be cool of you

(She's expected to make a full recovery but her partner is going to have trouble due to her lost income during this time. News article is linked in replies for posterity.)

A point made in this article, albeit not strongly enough, is that Parks Canada has been doing fire mitigation work around the townsite for over 20 years. What is clear though, is they should have also pushed harder on FireSmart measures in the townsite. I know there was a lot of FireSmart work around various cabins south of town it seems less so in town.

#Edmonton: A 21-yr-old woman was standing under a tree in Callingwood South, and a lightning bolt hit the tree and seems to have arched to hit her, causing a cardiac arrest.

She also has burns up her abdomen and across her shoulder where a sweater she was wearing was singed and burned away.

She is presently in ICU.
