Big Shakes & Tsunamis - Ice, Snow & Deep Cold

Pre-shocks of 6.0 & 6.1 are not a good sign; the magnitude 7.7 quake that followed an hour later was caused by a big rock plate dip and thrust along the Aussie/Pacific boundary near the Loyalty Islands. Aftershocks continue, all disturbing mostly fish but also the sea floor. That sea floor rippling is now sending walls of water all about the Pacific; nearby islands already hit with 10' tsunamis; warnings up in Hawai'i and beyond. It will play on national news along with impeachment updates; news flash there, republicans, still on their knees without testicles or spines.
US TrumpVirus deaths were back above 3,100 again yesterday, about average per day for the 2021, so far. California moved into 1st place on the death list yesterday; over 10% of the state now or has been infected and they will surpass 45,000 deaths today. Many states, open for business, still with 100's dying daily; great job America..."I ain't wearin' no mask, you can't tell me what to do.." "I get all I need to know from the facebook and the fox...they keep me plenty smart, see ya at walmart."
Many of those same reality deniers are currently stuck in our new extreme weather world, the Plains stuck in a deep, deep cold, as another storm, wielding all the wintertime treats - snow, rain, sleet & bonus: freezing rain, rolls across the country, arriving here tonight. Forecasts vary widely and wildly from mostly sleet and freezing rain to deep snow. More waves of winter joy for Saturday night and again Tuesday.
Bigger storms, slower moving, more damage, greater extremes; all forecast as a consequence of GLOBAL WARMING..and here we are. Fools claiming to work toward carbon neutral by 2030 or 40 or 50 (on in USA 2060); well, folks, it's here now and we are already too late, the extremes of heat/drought, storms/floods are here, driving famines and migrations and upheavals worldwide. Hope you're ready to hunker...we got good practice last year. Partying, overeating and shopping as an economic plan beginning to have more and more issues..
The San Andreas along the US/Mexico border is rather slippy and shaky today. Around Puerto Rico little quakes continue. Indonesia, near Krakatoa, had a 6.1 quake today, no tsunami warning there. Likewise, just offshore El Salvador with a 5.0 quake.
A little solar heating here this morning, clouds have ended that, more wood in the stove. We hit 64 yesterday but will be lucky to get beyond 44 today.
Big dog working in a post-morning romp nap ahead of our walk. Time to get the day movin' on, although I I was up at 3am hoping for cvs vaccine sign up, 7:15 too early also. Eventually..Today On Earth

BTW...google still sucks..verizon service...you call that service..ads for 5g, I have gone from lte back to 3g. 5G...yea, right!!
