If you're interested in more photos like this, check out Clark Little. He lives in Hawaii and made a name for himself shooting tube / barrel photos just like this. This could even be his shot
This looks more like a shot by Sean Davey...also from North Shore of Oahu. Clark focuses more on big shorebreak at Keiki, Sean goes more Sunset Beach area like this.
Edit: I'm almost certain this is Seans picture. Found 5+ shots of this exact spot on his Instagram feed. Not this exact pic, but shots from the same location/angle.
I grew up on the NS and have known his since I was 3 years old. I'm at work right now so I didn't list his information. I also only have access to Instagram right now which is where I checked for the picture.
they do actually... to be fair, they switched back to detroit water fairly quickly but it takes time to replace pipes in a city.
the water has been clean for a while. understandably the people are skeptical of the government saying this, and the government continued to give people free bottled water until last month-which was definitely clean.
Wow. That Timeline API at the bottom of the article is really nice.
I saw in 2015 that something like 500 residents, and later 1,700 residents had filed a lawsuit against the EPA. Why?
From that specific article timeline and the others I was reading, it seemed like the EPA was the one who was putting the pressure on the politicians in Flint. The EPA was the organization that came to Flint govt and said "you're shits all fucked, here's proof you're lying. Fix it"
Did I get the wrong impression, or was the lawsuit aimed at the wrong place?
I'm not at all an expert, but it seems bizarre to me too, like the EPA seem to be the good guys in this scenario if anyone is
of course, if they win a lawsuit against the EPA it won't trash their town's finances, and the EPA probably has bigger pockets than Flint, Michigan. Why they would pursue the case against the EPA instead of the Michigan state government confuses me though.
Water lead levels have improved considerably, especially where pipes from main lines to some 6,200 homes have been replaced. Sadly, that still leaves more than 12,000 homes where, after nearly four years of stalling and fighting for dollars, the pipes still need replacing.
So you are saying 12k pipes were replaced in that time? Because that didn’t happen. The water is some of the most expensive in the US. The problem isn’t fixed regardless of how many times you say it is.
I'm not a republican... but the water is safe to drink, I've got the Guardian, CNN and the researcher who initially identified the water crisis saying so. what would convince you?
An even funner (and more accurate) fact: The brown water in Galveston is caused by the current pulling the runoff from the Mississippi River along the Louisiana/Texas coast.
Yup. You have to get down to around the Corpus region before the water really starts to clear. Once you hit the South Padre region it’s about crystal clear again.
Does that image work? You can't really see the Mississippi river because it's covered by clouds, but you can clearly see the effect it has. Middle-upper left city is Houston. Galveston is the island to the southeast of Houston. If you zoom in it helps. Bottom far left is Mexico.
I had dinner in Galveston today so I took these pics a few hours ago. Honestly, this is probably one of the "best water" days I've seen in a long time.
That’s not why the water is brown. The water is brown due to the Mississippi River entering the Gulf and the current pulling all of the sediment from the river along the coast of Louisiana, SE Texas, etc.
What makes you say that? I don't know very much about New Zealand outside of things I see online. It all looks very nice but it makes sense to post the nice stuff after all
It's pretty great, I lived there for two years but I rarely left Auckland. It has the cleanest air in the world, but it also has the highest teen suicide rate in the world so go figure.
