Looks like Louisiana is trashed again as Zeta zips through the southlands, big rain and growing wind in charge here. The good news, the storm will not last long anywhere, moving at over 45mph; bad news, it was a powerhouse deep into the continent. Winter is right behind the tropical air as winter storm #2 (Billy) will sweep it all out to sea by tomorrow, leaving a dry but chilly Halloween in the wake. The big dog has, so far, chosen to hold it, I can hear him snoring; he's a smart dog!!
The week's volcano list is a bit longer, big blasts on the Kamchatka peninsula from 5 different mountains causing air travel (the little there is) to avoid the area. Etna and Stromboli are (still?) at it on their respective Italian isles, eponymous activity underway on both. Sinabung in Indonesia appears to have stirred again. Japan has only one on the list, a little unusual. Iceland's Reykjanes continues to slowly increase in heat release and quakes. Villarrica in Chile' is it for the western hemisphere (hard to believe Popo and Fuego have just shut down). The Philippines and Hawai'i remain quiet.
Quakes, other than a 5.8 in Chile' remain low in number and intensity. Alaska and Puerto Rico with what has become pretty standard levels and in the contiguous US the fracking zones still remind locals that oil money is more important than the destruction of local property.
I assume the sky show, building to Saturday's Full Moon has been lovely but we have not seen the day or night sky since Saturday so writing about it has slipped my mind. Sunspot activity continues to stir, perhaps a glancing solar wind blow of Earth on Sunday to keep the auroras rolling..and potentially do a minor radio/satellite zapping!!
Mr. Executive Order sloppily signs on, recently (illegally??) demanding allegiance from all federal employee or they can be fired without cause. A 40 year civil servant resigned/retired over that one and made us all aware of our own little dictators effort to continue to consolidate his power - the spineless, little punkass bitch.
In a recent press release outlining all his accomplishment, there it was, actually stated, the end of the TrumpVirus pandemic in the US. He just declared it's over!! This as yesterday hit an all time high for new cases at over 81,000 with another 1,016 Americans no longer with us. But, hey if the prez says it's over.. but, then he lies about everything. But...they said it's over on the fox... Watch on dumbasses!!
His super-spreader campaign events continue as he preaches to the choir, kill on Donny. If he actually showed up in places he needs to swing, he would be received by protesters, boos and chants of "lock him up"; which most hope will happen sometime in late January!!
Zeta rains on...Today On Earth.
