The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has made the controversial decision to push back the date for the highly anticipated solar eclipse, based on the development of severe weather threatening the East Coast. NOAA spokesperson Linda Grandly addressed members of the media at a press conference in Daytona, during which she shocked members of the press with the news that the eclipse would not go on as originally scheduled. Grandly explained that the hurricanes would require the full attention of the NOAA, and that personnel simply could not be spared to oversee the spectacle of an eclipse.
Under a withering barrage of questions, Grandly acknowledged the historic significance of the eclipse. However, she steadfastly stood by the NOAA's decision to postpone. "This solar event poses a health risk... people improperly viewing the eclipse may cause serious, permanent damage to their eyes. Many of them being children."
According to Grandly, the NOAA had set aside significant resources to educate the public and monitor those viewing the eclipse. Those resources are now being used to monitor hurricanes and tropical storms. The organization concluded that the threat to the public was too great, and it would be irresponsible to allow the event to proceed without any oversight. Officials plan to set a date in late September, when conditions are expected to be more suitable. Several key NOAA personnel are also expected to return from vacation in September. Grandly left the press conference; ignoring a series of questions she was peppered with on her way out.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
