Piscataway Public Works is presently responding to calls of fallen trees throughout the Township as a result of the ongoing tropical storm.

Please do not get near any downed trees because of the significant danger of downed and entangled power wires. Please do not travel unless it is necessary.

15,000 years ago, New York City's backyard
was underwater.

Not ocean water. Not a flood.
A 300-foot deep glacial lake —
larger than the entire modern city
of New York — sitting right next door.

It was called Glacial Lake Passaic.

During the last Ice Age, the massive
Wisconsin Glacier advanced across
northern New Jersey, pushing billions
of tons of earth and rock ahead of it.
This debris plugged the natural drainage
gaps in the Watchung Mountains —
and the Passaic River had nowhere to go.

So it backed up.

For 5,000 years, glacial meltwater
poured into the basin between the
Watchung Mountains and the New Jersey
Highlands — filling it to a depth of
300 feet. The lake stretched 30 miles
from Wayne in the north to Liberty Corner
in the south. 300 square miles of cold,
dark glacial water — right where
suburban New Jersey now sits.

The ridges of Third Watchung Mountain
formed a chain of islands running
down the middle of the lake.

Mastodons and giant beavers roamed
its shores. The Lenape people —
"the original people" — hunted
and fished here as early as
12,000 years ago, when the lake
was still slowly draining.

Then the glacier melted further north.

Around 13,000 years ago it exposed
a gap in First Watchung Mountain
at a place called Great Notch —
near present-day Paterson.

What happened next was catastrophic.

Billions of cubic feet of water
rushed through the gap at once —
carving a gorge through solid
200-million-year-old basalt rock.
That gorge became the
Great Falls of the Passaic River
in Paterson — today a
National Historical Park,
still visible, still thundering.

The lake drained in what scientists
describe as a catastrophic flood.

And then it was gone.

Today the entire lakebed sits beneath
one of the most densely populated
regions on Earth — the suburbs of
the New York City metro area.
Every resident of Wayne, Parsippany,
Morristown, Madison, Chatham,
and Basking Ridge lives on the
floor of a 300-foot deep Ice Age lake.

The Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge —
just 25 miles from Times Square —
is the last surviving remnant
of that ancient lake bottom.

Next time you drive the I-287
through northern New Jersey —
you're driving on a lakebed.

The world you think you know is wrong.

[🇫🇷 version FR 👇] Day 108, orbit 1675 — Our orbital path regularly takes us over countless breathtaking atolls, appearing like brilliant drops of turquoise scattered across the deep blue of both the Pacific and Indian oceans. These ecosystems, essential to a lot of marine and coastal species, face threats resulting from human activity, particularly the accelerating impacts of climate change, like ocean warming and rising sea levels.

From orbit, it becomes extremely clear that for life to continue thriving, all our planet’s ecosystems must be protected.

Jour 108, orbite 1675 – Notre trajectoire nous amène régulièrement à survoler d’innombrables atolls, de lumineuses gouttes d’un bleu turquoise dispersées sur le bleu profond des océans Pacifique et Indien. La vue est à couper le souffle. Ces écosystèmes, essentiels à de nombreuses espèces marines et côtières, sont menacés par les activités humaines, en particulier par l’accélération des effets du changement climatique, tels que le réchauffement des océans et l’élévation du niveau de la mer.

Depuis l’orbite, il est très clair que pour que la vie continue de prospérer, tous les écosystèmes de notre planète doivent être protégés.

This reinforces my theory of the “cookie cutter”.
Millions of years ago, space aliens came to Earth with giant cookie cutters, cut shapes, and dropped them elsewhere on the planet.

The same can be seen in Canada and Florida, where they cookie cuttered James Bay, and dropped it in the Gulf of Mexico, thus creating Florida.

From airplane, or AI immitating view from altitude 5 to10 km (16500 to 33000 ft) over sea level !

This view is not from deep space !

M-P's distance from objective is obviously comparable as equal to distance of certain point on picture from M-P.

You should know that 2D picture also carry uncountable number of information where camera was.

Geometry can provide you full explanation, as each position of camera is UNIQUE ! 😎

The eastern side of the American perimeter experienced a bit of fighting over the campaign. After I finally confirmed the real location of the John Basilone Medal of Honor actions, my friend Peter Flahavin made a great depiction. These are 3 attacks from Aug-Oct. The airport today is the site of the 1942 Henderson Field (1942 version was much shorter). Credit: Guadalcanal Walking a Battlefield.

Yep. And more people live within 2 blocks of me than on the entire Antarctic continent.
