Flashback: Disco is an important part of our pop culture

(10/13/20 2:56pm)

In the mid-70s, France’s music scene was spurring with a new sensation that would forever change the music world. Manu Dibango intermixed a series of instruments that had a “funky” appeal with their hit “Soul Makossa.” This was later picked up by New York’s underground music industry. Roller-skating, disco balls, “Soul Train,” and other iconic American culture-esque features would begin a culture of its own that would span for a decade. However, some artists in the pop industry today may be dipping their toes back into the culture of the 70s.

Falling temperatures this week

(10/12/20 11:13pm)

Tonight: We saw some bands of scattered rain and storms move through earlier this evening ahead of a strong cold front. The chances for rain will taper off this evening, making way for a partly cloudy sky overnight. Low temperatures will drop into the mid 40s, so a much cooler October night is in store from what we have been seeing the last few days. Southwesterly winds could gust at times up to 25mph.

'Enola Holmes' and The Case of the Mixed Feelings

(10/10/20 1:15am)

2020 hasn’t been a great year for children’s book adaptations so far. Remember this summer when a lot of people were suddenly really mad about the Artemis Fowl trailer, and even more so when the movie was released? We saw it as not only a terrible adaptation but a very mediocre film. Well, it’s nice to know that in the case of Enola Holmes, that kind of outrage isn’t required.

Summer-like temperatures continue

(10/09/20 11:01pm)

As of 7pm EDT, Hurricane Delta has made landfall in Creole, Louisiana as a category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph. This is the same region that was devastated (and is still recovering) from Hurricane Laura just 6 weeks ago. Storm surge of 10ft+ in coastal regions, as well as flash flooding and hurricane-force wind gusts continue to be the main concerns associated with Delta. As it makes its way inward, Delta will continue to produce widespread rain and storms throughout the south. Portions of Texas and most of Louisiana have already seen heavy rainfall associated with Delta throughout the day today, however, total amounts could end up between 6-10 inches. Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee could also see rainfall totals of up to 4 inches as the system continues to move northeastward.

Above-average temperature trend

(10/09/20 6:59pm)

We are currently tracking Hurricane Delta, a category 2 hurricane, as it makes its way northward in the Gulf of Mexico towards the Louisiana coastline. Portions of eastern Texas and most of Louisiana are seeing impacts from the storm currently, as rainfall totals are expected to be between 6-10 inches. Delta is expected to make landfall later today along the southwestern Louisiana coastline, in the same area that was devastated (and is still recovering) from Hurricane Laura 6 weeks ago. As of 2pm CDT, Delta is located 65 miles south of Cameron, Louisiana, moving northeast at 14mph. Concerns with this system include high storm surge, flash flooding, locally isolated rainfall amounts greater than 12 inches, and sustained hurricane-force winds greater than 74mph.
