AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Taylorsville about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Ohio Valley three days ago, and over Georgia a day ago, about 650 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from Georgia; at 10,000 feet, from the northern Plains. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

What Taylorsville stands on

Taylorsville’s center stands about 310 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 240 ft to 400 ft, a difference of 160 ft: gently rolling country.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Catahoula formation (sand), from the Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old.
