Rage, lull, rage, lull, warm, hot, cool, warm, hot, cool. It's a pattern but not one you can really count on; other than it will change. The storm that knocked out power here did some serious damage not far away, lots of trees down, a building trashed, car flipped (that sure sounds like a tornado). Here, just lots and lots of debris on my trails, lots, hurricane-ish. Last front cooled things down and we'll stay on the cool side of things for several more days, even with alternating stormy, nice days continuing.
6 quakes above 5 today, none much above and the usual, sea floor subduction locales. Puerto Rico with almost a dozen, again. I still think there is something magma-ish going on deep down that may not bode well for the island..but, it is a volcanic island, part of an island arc, so it would be no real surprise.
Speaking of volcanoes..18 spots you don't want to be this week (there are always more than on the list..like, Fuego.. Etna...don't go there). Iceland's venting has kicked it up into fountain mode, one day over 300 meters high and visible from the capital; that will get your attention. Reunion Island and Kilauea also added a little more basalt to Earth's surface this past week. Indonesia, Russia's Kamchatka and Japan with the usual active mountain scenes. White Island off New Zealand remains waaaay off limits to sight seers. Not much eruption on St. Vincent this week but big rains turned all that ash in lahars, mud/land/rock slides you do not want to be anywhere near. A new fissure just opened on Guatemala's Pacaya, flowing off into a new direction, trashing everything in its path. Hurricanes, volcanoes, gangs, over crowded over breeders, no wonder everyone wants out of there; sadly, we don't want their issues, problems here.
Just watching a sparrow with a mouthful of dog hair outside the window, little nest building going on; dog hair seems like good liner material, my plan when petting, rubbing him in the yard...well, and keeping it out of the house.
Another 794 TrumpVirus deaths in US on Cinco de Mayo with almost 50K new cases, both down but both still too high. India and Brazil stepping up as the new infection and death leaders (though both have a ways to go to catch us). Brazil working on indicting their president, an idiot, trump wanna be, following donny's plan (not really a plan..)of denial, blame and apathy toward his people and the virus. He and donny in the same prison cell, fighting over their daily bucket of fish heads..ya gotta have dreams:) India..well, easy to see their problem, any photo/video from there, just waaaaay too many people and their various gods don't seem to be offering much help or protection...ahhhh..
No sunspots but there is chinese space junk about to come back to Earth. The booster rocket that propelled the first part of their space station into orbit is tumbling wildly, gradually descending before burning up and breaking into pieces upon re-entry; when, not sure, where, not sure. Stating the obvious, 70% chance it'll hit ocean and do no harm is like stating the other obvious, Ghina is a grossly over crowded nation where 1984 is already underway and slave labor and religious oppression are the norm; not like they care where their space junk lands. Power and control of all is their only goal.
And, with that, I remind you, stay safe, be smart, mask on, shot in arm and stay apart..Today On Earth.
