A major quake, magnitude 6.4, rocked Croatia earlier today (afternoon there), one death reported so far and serious damage seems likely across much of the region. A 5.7 seafloor quake off the coast of Oregon created no tsunami but should be a reminder to the Pacific Northwest that they are long overdue for a big ole shaking...maybe 2021 will be the year of the earthquake...not a wish but a thought, been awhile...and there will be more earthquakes.
Just like there will be weather, cold and clear here as High pressure fills in behind a weak Cold front that passed through the Old Dominion earlier today. That dome is ahead of the winter storm currently blanketing the upper plains with snow; ice and rain as you go south. That will be our New Year's Eve and Day mess, seemingly just rain here. More forecast for Sunday, that one, still days out has models saying rain or snow or nothing..time will let us know and there will be weather.
Couple of sunspots but neither seems magnetically twisted enough to spew CME's earthward. Clouds blocked my view of the sinking planet show, only glimpses of the moon and Mars. Tonight, late, is the Full Moon for December, the Long Night moon and if clear skies prevail it will be bright out this evening. It was very bright in the tirehouse last night with the beaming moon, could have seen the deer eating birdseed in the front yard but she turned on the lights and made it very easy. Big Brown Dog got a good little 2am deer chase, go Breyer!!
In other Earth news; the ozone hole over Antarctica (remember the ozone hole...it's still around) is larger than in recent years, winds around the South pole are backwards from normal, winter conditions hanging on even though it is early summer there.
And in ongoing sad American news, slightly less than 200,000 new TrumpVirus cases yesterday and only 1,899 deaths..only. The post xmas lull before all those passengers from all those planes I saw in the sky Sunday get back home and keep the spread going.
In DeeCee, Congress agrees, Donny the douche vetos, congress overrides, Donny the douche, spending the last weeks ranting about fraud in an election where his ass was seriously kicked and now just cheating at golf, has suddenly decided to get involved in the 6 months late aid package for help from his viral denial and ineptitude and, of course, just screw things up, again and again and again.
In other good news related to bad news, the slime bag who shot and killed an innocent woman, in her own home, attempting to steal guns in Caroline Co. was found out, chased down and killed himself; that will save the tax payers some cash; still sad. And, while downtown Nashville was and is trashed the idiot bomber killed only himself, let's not waste too much time and money trying to figure out why...or ever show his ugly mug or mention his name again, we have no need to remember him.
22 days and he will be an ugly footnote in history, although his hate & destruction will linger, likely for years. Do your part, stay safe, be smart, mask up and stay apart, Today On Earth.
