On top of all the other shit we got going, today/yesterday a big-ass volcano/earthquake: (Illustration found here). The event a peculiar one with a massive volcano eruption enabling a 5.8 earthquake, a double-bang situation that sent literal shock waves across the Pacific Ocean — via NPR late this afternoon: A massive underwater volcano that erupted…
Beyond any doubt, this year has been one for the record books. And just today, the continuing much-needed relief sense of sorts in knowing Joe Biden is the new president, and the horror-toad T-Rump is on his way out the door. Maybe the first respite from off all the shit spewed in 2020 so far;…
Earthquake just a few minutes ago, and according to the USGS, the shaker, located south of Lone Pine, California, registered a 5.8 on the Richter Scale. I was lying on my bed surfing the InterWebs on my iPad when I felt a couple of ‘ripples,’ a physical impossibility without some external, weird help, and I…
Felt the shift, a gentle shudder as I had just sat down in front of my laptop — the reaches here off a decent-sized earthquake northwest of Ferndale, and about 65 miles southwest from where my ass had plunked down. According to the USGS, a 5.1 shaker rattled this Friday afternoon, a couple minutes after…
Mostly-clear skies and bright sunshine this Monday on California’s north coast, with the last of our latest rainstorm leaving the area earlier this morning — although there’s still a ‘slight chance’ of precipitation today, the look outside doesn’t reflect it. And it’s warm, too. Beyond rain was a 4.3 earthquake yesterday about 90 miles southwest of…
Thick cloud coverage this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — looks like we’re in a wet period, with showers, drizzles, and maybe some actual real rain, in the forecast for the next week to 10 days. Two major news items already, both affiliated with the inherent chaos in nature — one grounded, the other,…
As speaking this morning how I constantly check the USGS earthquake map — about an hour ago, a 5.5 shaker, about 180 miles west of where I’m sitting on my ass, but didn’t feel a thing. And this latest wasn’t that deep, according to its USGS summary, only a bit more than six miles down. Earthquakes…
Partly cloudy and still this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast — enough sunshine, though, to maybe make it also more-than partly sunny. Despite my first sense earlier this afternoon while attempting to catch a nap, I dozed off to sleep — that initial reaction came from a weird feeling, and a perception of earthquake.…
Clear, cold and still dark-thirty this early Thursday, the first morning of 2015, at least here on California’s north coast, still three hours shy of the east and Times Square. Surfing through the news as I honeyed-up my tea, a jolt — without any personal sense of it, reportedly a 5.1 earthquake just south of…
Just got punched in the ass — a bold shove right up my chair. And I knew the feel: Earthquake! After jumping for the door, and feeling no immediate after shocks, I checked my USGS earthquake site, but nothing for my location. Maybe it was too fast. Maybe it really wasn’t an earthquake — but…
