I just realized something from the parsha…
Miryam well… water… when she died so did their water.
Then Aaron died… he is associated with clouds.
So of course she had to pass away 1st!

In science, we know that without water on earth, it is very hard for clouds to form. Clouds suck-up the moisture and the clouds build. Ever watch a thunder head build up? You can see how tall and puffy it gets as its gaining water from other clouds. These clouds are basically “magnetized” and get pulled into the larger cloud. (Below image from bing.com/images)
Ever see a water spout over the ocean? (See article below on water spouts)

This is how I reasoned that Miryam had to pass away first.
Stay safe this summer. Watch out for incoming storms. Leave the beach if thunder is heard or you are seeing the thunder heads building. If you are seeing lightning, you need to get into a safe space. NOT UNDER TREES!!!
Cars no longer have rubber tires. A car is no longer a “safe spot”.
Safety always first!
