The moon will come within 222,000 miles of Earth and turn full around 7:30 a.m. EDT, making it the best time to view.

As in any supermoon event, high tides are forecast because of the moon’s proximity, but the effect is expected to be small.

Full moon?

Adult language warning. Movie is not a complete waste of time but is for the most part. Pat Paulsen’s finest starring role.

Ask any bartender or cop .

I know lots of both. It is not a joke or old wive's tale. People can pull stats out from anywhere. Talk to the folks on the ground that have to clean up the mess. They'll tell you straight.
