TOE Returns!!

After an extended break TodayOnEarth returns on a cloudy, low 80's day in central Va. There is lots of rain but it's all along a stationary front hung up along the VA/NC border. Clouds are dominating but the rain is to the south. Seems to have been no aftershocks in the CentVaEqZone but the USGS will be doing low fly overs soon to try and figure out where the faults actually are; no easy find at the surface.  Elsewhere, the plate boundaries are where the action is.
The volcano list is, as usual, dominated by the Ring of Fire with Kilauea and Hierro filling in the non-Ring members. Popo still spews in Mexico.
The front will remain stalled for most of this week with temps in the 80's, a welcome relief for a toasted eastern seaboard. Unfortunately, the rainfall is unlikely to spread region-wide but will hang on the border.
If the clouds break, Mars and Saturn hang with Virgo's Spica in the evening and Venus and Jupiter are in Taurus in the pre-dawn sky. The moon is last quarter tomorrow and will slide by the morning planets this weekend.
Get out and check out your planet, TOE.
