Cool info had to share because I had no idea

Did you know that the crisp white and vibrant red stripes on a windsock are not just for adding a pop of color to airport terminals, helipads, or high-rise buildings?

They actually indicate precise wind speeds, serving as a vital visual aid for pilots, meteorologists, and engineers to gauge air currents and navigate safely.

Here's how the carefully calibrated stripes provide essential information in the blink of an eye.

Before and after

08/27/2024

A devastating landslide has struck our community, causing loss of homes and irreparable changes to lives. We kindly request your prayers for Ketchikan. Our location, a block away, has allowed us to remain safe without evacuation, unlike many others. Our tours will continue, but please be aware that traffic is severely congested, and we have adjusted our routes and destinations to circumvent affected areas and facilitate crew operations. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding

After their gear was stolen in Anchorage, the three thought their expedition was ruined. The local climbing community came to the rescue.
