Thunderstorms all night long in Central Texas, resulting in 0.07" at my house. Sigh.

Ocean Acidification Worsens
Researchers writing in Global Change Biology have found the acidification of deep oceans passed a critical threshold five years ago, earlier than previously believed, jeopardizing their role in supplying food and oxygen to the surface. In 2023, researchers reported that six of the nine planetary boundaries, a series of climate change milestones indicating planetary health, had been crossed, and issued a red alert for ocean acidification, which is measured by the saturation of aragonite in surface waters. These new findings show that the threat to marine ecosystems worldwide is far more extensive than previously understood. Approximately 60% of the global subsurface ocean (down to 656 feet or 200 meters) and over 40% of the surface ocean have exceeded the acidification threshold set in 2009. These changes threaten key species such as coral reefs, polar pteropods, and coastal bivalves. Significant impacts are being observed in the deep waters off the coast of western North America, which support extensive salmon and crab fisheries. The main driver of acidification is carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning.
This map depicts the percentage drop in surface aragonite saturation (ΩArag) from 1750 to 2020, a key marker of ocean acidification, with the black line marking a 20% decline.

Yeesh, we may float away here between yesterday and today. I'll be impressed if we make it through this work day without losing power.

@Gigem you getting this same treatment in Houston?

We’re about 50 miles south. But yes we’ve had at least 6-8” since yesterday.
