Featured Article of the Day Hurricane Cindy was a tropical cyclone that made landfall in the U.S. state of Louisiana in July 2005. The third named storm of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, Cindy developed from a tropical wave on July 3, off the east coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Soon after, it moved over land before emerging into the Gulf of Mexico. It tracked toward the northern Gulf Coast and strengthened to reach maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 km/h), making it a Category 1 on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The hurricane struck Louisiana, on July 5 at peak intensity, but weakened by the time it made a second landfall along southern Mississippi. It weakened over the southeastern US and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on July 7. The remnants of Cindy produced an outbreak of 42 tornadoes across six states before they moved into Atlantic Canada and dissipated on July 13 over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Cindy caused six traffic deaths and its damage was significant. (Full article...)

Picture of the Day
Silene flos-cuculi, commonly known as the ragged robin, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. Native to Europe and Asia, it is found along roads and in wet meadows and pastures, and has also become naturalized in parts of North America. It forms a rosette of low growing foliage with numerous stems that are 30 to 90 centimetres (12 to 36 inches) tall. The stems rise above the foliage and branch near the top of the stem, the stems having barbed hairs which point downward and make the plant rough to the touch. The middle and upper leaves are linear-lanceolate with pointed apexes. Butterflies and long-tongued bees feed on the flowers' nectar. In addition to these pollinators, the flowers are visited by many types of insects, and can be characterized by a generalized pollination syndrome. This S. flos-cuculi flower was photographed in Niitvälja, Estonia. This picture was focus-stacked from 27 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
