While there was no bang, April began with rain. Another 0.85" to go with March's lion exit of 1.15" over just a few hours. It got wet! We are now above yearly totals above the far above average totals of the last 3 years; Earth nor April are fooling!!
To complete the smack down, a hard freeze is coming for tonight and Saturday morning. Temps dipping into the 20's, threatening records. Global warming leading to global extremes..everywhere on Earth.
26 volcanoes on the weeks list is not really extreme, there are actually more like 40+ Earth openings emitting gas or lava or something all the time, some just not quite worthy of the list. But, 26, that's a big week and some old favorites with Reunion Island and Martinique(and Pelee likes to throw in the surprise - BOOM) back on the list. As usual, Indonesia leads the list with 6 but for size, Guatemala leads in action with Fuego, Pacaya and Santa Maria all blasting away, in a big way. Same with Etna, and the usual gang in Ecuador & Peru. Kilauea and Iceland still splattering basalt and the Aleutians gang of three have the few locals on edge. Taal in the Philippines is quite restless. The Ring O Fire is indeed!!
6.5 magnitude quake north of New Zealand, no tsunami warnings (advisories sent..) is the shakiest it get today but a 3.0 quake in Louisiana?? And, southeast Texass?? Hmmmm!! Report just added a 6.0 quake north of the 6.5 shaker; no harm likely from either.
The sun remains spot free, unlike 20 years ago with a monster sunspot blasted Earth, firing up auroras almost to the equator. Those days and spots will return, who knows when?? Mars is now well above Aldebaran but still a lovely sight in the evening with equally red Betelgeuse not far away for comparison!
Yesterday's storm and front is hammering New England and the Maritimes today. We are left with a chill, clouds, with quick sun peeks, and a NW wind; a wild NW wind. Just stepped out..with that wind it feels more like February than April!!
TrumpVirus numbers refuse to fade, another 1,138 Americans did not make it to April. 552,000+ dead Americans, still the world leader and that's your legacy, donny, ya douche and all that would willing get down on their knees to service your pathetic self. Lot of dumbasses out there, checking the astrology column for advice, counting on what ever mental image of a god they cling to for help and checking in with Marky Sucker-berg for their news and world insight...any wonder we have problems, Today On Earth!
The forest is quickly getting baby leaves ready, plenty of water to slurp, most grass already green. But, early fruit tree blossoms are going to get torched tonight as we all get the stark reminder: Earth is in charge..don't be a fool and think otherwise, Today On Earth!!
