50 aftershocks in the magnitude 5 and even 6 range after yesterday's 7.7 Loyalty Island area quake!! But, tsunamis were local and no warnings for today. The warnings are for wintery mix, a swath of mess from the deep south thru the Old Dominion. Pick a precipitation type and it's likely to be occurring somewhere right now. Oh yea, the entire middle of the country is in a deep freeze. Kentucky with an ice storm, too bad the little bitches Mitch and Rand are not home. Be tough walking on ice if you are spineless.
At the tirehouse, it's 37 and raining. Forecasts..seem to change hourly, lot of snow, lot of rain, no, now it's ice, running more models..All models are wrong, some are useful!! This may change to a little snow tonight before a lull, then another mess Saturday and maybe more ice Tuesday. I plan to remain hunkered down!!
Another 3,255 Americans dead from TrumpVirus..California surging farther into the lead..still 10 states with over 100 dead yesterday. In the midst of all this Trump-induced-Virus mess, the opioid crisis and resultant death count continues to soar, as well. The companies fueling it gradually be held accountable, the individuals likely less so. Gun violence and crime continues around the land of the free, home of the gun. I'm betting the US suicide rate remains high but that is too much depressing news for one day.
And, Earth still could not care less! If we keep adding CO2, the atmosphere will keep trapping heat and the "How does Earth's atmosphere react to extra heat" experiment will keep roiling and boiling along; you kids let us know how it all turns out! And, if one use, throw away plastic is good for the economy, well, the corporate bottom line, then how could it be a problem in the ocean, on beaches, along roadsides or in landfills..more has gotta be better!! Again, sorry kids.
New Moon is this afternoon, a little spring tide action to go with the storm. About a 100' diameter space rock will pass by Earth today, little closer than the moon, but, looks like a miss. Sun remains spot free, so, at least, no issues there. We are not likely to see the nearby star today, maybe tomorrow but could be several days..Sunday maybe.
20 extruding mountains on the week's volcano list; ash, lava, explosions..the usual scene around the Ring O Fire and Kilauea and Etna. 6 on Indonesia, 5 up Kamchatka, 3 on Japanese islands and the Aleutians are stirring again. Popo & Pacaya still blasting away in Mexico & Guatemala. Sightseers warned venturing into the crater on Soufriere St. Vincent could be dangerous...DUH!! Lava dome there still growing! None from S. America on the list..I don't believe that..Sabancaya is ALWAYS erupting!! No Fuego, don't buy that either.
Little rain lull here, birds have just about emptied the two feeders, BigBrownDog, still snoring away, has not ventured out but that is about to change..Today On Earth.
