happy birthday, natsu 🐸

rascal! 

Alex hung out with Isamu & Dashawn today who are both adults wise yet very wise! Alex will definitely would go to them immediately if she needs advice..

As soon as the next day came, bright and early, Dora went to her computer to make reservations on a rental and buy plane tickets, and pack some items! The excitement could be felt in the air as she let her roommates and closest friend know of her trip, wishing them farewell for the time being. The next time you saw her, she would be in Selvadorada!

The Super Outbreak of April 3, 1974: A Watershed Moment in Meteorology

On April 3, 1974, a cataclysmic series of tornadoes tore across 13 U.S. states, from Illinois to North Carolina, marking one of the most significant severe weather events in modern history. Dubbed the "Super Outbreak," this devastating phenomenon consisted of 148 confirmed tornadoes, including an unprecedented number of F5 tornadoes, the highest rating on the Fujita Scale, indicative of incredible, often unimaginable, tornado intensity. Among the hardest-hit areas was Xenia, Ohio, a community that would become emblematic of both the tragedy and resilience associated with this historic outbreak. As we look back, 50 years on, the legacy of the Super Outbreak extends beyond the reconstruction of devastated communities to the fundamental ways in which it transformed meteorology and tornado preparedness. The F5 Tornadoes Of the myriad tornadoes spawned during the Super Outbreak, six were classified as F5, indicating wind speeds greater than 261 mph (420 km/h). These monstrous twisters carved paths of destruction that were unparalleled at the time, flattening structures to the ground, hurling vehicles through the air, and obliterating landscapes. The sheer scale and ferocity of these tornadoes provided unprecedented data, challenging existing meteorological understandings and pushing the envelope in the science of tornado dynamics. Xenia, Ohio: A Community Reborn from Ruin Xenia, Ohio, bore the brunt of one of these F5 tornadoes, with the twister striking the heart of the city with little warning. In a matter of minutes, a significant portion of Xenia was reduced to rubble; buildings that had stood for decades were leveled, homes were destroyed, and 33 lives were lost, with over 1,300 injuries reported. The impact on Xenia became a focal point of the Super Outbreak's legacy, symbolizing both the human cost of severe weather and the indomitable spirit of communities in the face of such disasters. A Catalyst for Change in Meteorology The Super Outbreak served as a pivotal moment in the field of meteorology, profoundly impacting both the science of weather prediction and the implementation of early warning systems. In the aftermath, researchers poured over data from the outbreak, leading to significant advancements in understanding tornado formation and behavior. This event underscored the limitations of the existing weather radar technology, prompting a push for innovation that would eventually lead to the development and deployment of Doppler radar systems across the United States. These systems provided meteorologists with the ability to see not only the intensity of storms but also the internal wind velocity and patterns, greatly enhancing the accuracy of tornado predictions and warnings. Moreover, the Super Outbreak highlighted the critical need for effective communication of weather threats to the public. In response, the National Weather Service (NWS) intensified its focus on improving alert systems and public education on tornado safety. This tragedy spurred the expansion of the NWS's network of weather radio stations, offering round-the-clock weather updates and alerts, and laid the groundwork for today's integrated warning systems that combine television, radio, internet, and mobile technologies to disseminate life-saving information quickly. Legacy and Lessons Learned Fifty years on, the Super Outbreak remains one of the most studied and significant meteorological events in U.S. history. Its legacy is not only measured by the advances in weather science and safety it catalyzed but also in the stories of resilience and community rebuilding in the face of unimaginable destruction. As we continue to face severe weather challenges, the lessons learned from the Super Outbreak underscore the importance of preparedness, innovation, and communication in safeguarding lives and communities against future storms. The spirit of Xenia and other affected communities serves as a testament to the human capacity to rebuild and recover, guided by the advancements in science and technology that emerged from the tragedy of April 3, 1974.

Miku Lore

Hatsune Miku is a synthetic voice software created by taking samples of Saki Fujita’s voice. This creation was called ‘vocaloid’, and it worked by inputting words and notes for the vocaloid to sing for you. Not the first vocaloid ever, but the first truly great one. Hatsune Miku was given a cute design, the iconic teal twintails recognizable in any silhouette.

Hatsune Miku skyrocketed in popularity thanks to her popular design and hit songs such as World is Mine by ryo and Rolling Girl by the late wowaka. She would go on to perform in ‘live’ concerts as a hologram, accompanied by the other vocaloids that Crypton made- Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka, Kaito, and Meiko. Her popularity would also lead to the creation of the Project Diva series- Rhythm games featuring various songs made with Hatsune Miku and the crypton family as the vocalists.

Once Hatsune Miku was on top, her legacy never fell. She became the face of vocaloid, starring in countless iconic songs and practically overshadowing the rest. The popularity of vocaloid as a whole would rise and fall, but her face and voice would be the ultimate resurgence in popularity again, such as with the songs Ghost Rule by Deco*27 and Sand Planet by Hachi.

Miku Miku I want to be Miku it’s not enough to love her from afar I want to become Hatsune Miku, I will take her place and sekaaaai de as she always did, I will be the virtual star and while it may be assumed that the world will slowly forget about her in favor of me, I will ensure that will never happen because we will have become one and the same and we will live for eternity, all eyes on me. All eyes on us.

As a synthetic voice program, some of Hatsune Miku’s success can be attributed to the wide range of genres and themes she could sing for, only limited by the imaginations of the producers who bought her. She could sing it all, anything from vegetable juice to the death of individuality.

However, producers are not eternal. Even the most iconic ones will move on from Miku or even pass away. Despite this, Miku is eternal. Even when every early days producer is no longer by her side, there will be more. Miku is love. Miku is life.

We do it all for our one true queen.
