Moon's Perihelion

The moon was at its closest to the Earth in nearly two decades last night...and we received over 6 inches of rain in the last 24 hours-more than in some entire years that I have lived in this house. I saw areas flooded today larger than anything I have ever seen before. My neighborhood has lost a serious number of trees; it looks entirely different now. It was an incredible day, but the damage is insignificant compared to any coastal town in northwest Japan right now. Perspective.

Pictures of pretty lights in the sky will resume once the sky becomes visible again...
