A bit of ground fog and high overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — and quiet, too. Weather, though, ain’t the same everywhere. Yesterday in Oklahoma: The preliminary rating of the tornado that hit Moore at 3:17 p.m. CT (4:17 p.m. ET) was put at EF-4, which means wind speeds from 166 to 200 mph, the National Weather Service said. Latest reports indicate at least 91 people have Read More ...
Not a note of happiness or ease-of-mind: A shallow magnitude 4.4 earthquake was reported Saturday morning 17 miles from Rio Dell, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The temblor occurred at 6:46 a.m. PDT at a depth of 11.8 miles. According to the USGS, the epicenter was 21 miles from Fortuna, 34 miles from Eureka and 39 miles from Bayside. In the past 10 days, there have been two earthquakes Read More ...
Patchy cloud cover this early Wednesday allows a few twinkling stars to peek through and later maybe the sun will arise like thunder — up here on California’s north coast, however, the shine will most-likely be only a squeaky peek. The weather’s been quiet around these parts lately, but that don’t mean it ain’t screaming somewhere. In the flow of the powerful news cycle these days concerns ‘scandal,’ which means Read More ...
Sunday morning up here on California’s northern coast and the living is cool. And the hunt for triple-homicide suspect Shane Miller continues just south of where I’m at — he’s charged with killing his wife and two daughters last week over in Shasta County, about 200 miles east of here. Miller knows the area and has a certain expertise with firearms. In 1996, he was convicted of marijuana cultivation and in Read More ...
High overcast and some low ground fog this way-early Friday up here on California’s north coast, and the air is fairly warm for the time. The weather has been about the same the last few days, although the sun did break through the cover late yesterday afternoon, the climate has been back to near-normal after some Hawaii-like temperatures for awhile. Also we might be in the national news today due Read More ...
Clear skies with a fingernail moon hanging in the dark, quiet with just a hint of the rumble in the Pacific Ocean a couple of miles away — up here on California’s north coast we’ve been experiencing some most-delightful weather the last few days. A high of 70 degrees is forecast for today, and the same through the weekend — 77 set for tomorrow — and for us this is Read More ...
A clear, beautiful early Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast, and as the half-moon hangs in the southern sky, the sound of the peaceful Pacific can be heard raging in the distance — only a couple of miles. A scene of ease and tranquility. Maybe in the mind, buddy. Mark Twain, ever the delightful pundit: “Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But Read More ...
Clear and kind of warm this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the near-half moon hanging like a bright closet-orb seen from far away. Day-to-day life viewed from the stars. In a world gone bat-shit crazy, focal points are seemingly on everything except the way-most important — the earth that moon is still-shining happily down upon. Sooner than we figure, all that wonder will cease. Climate change, really, is a result Read More ...
Another Saturday, another week gone-on-down the road. These past days, though, have been one for the so-called books; a near-literary, five part mini series starting Monday and ending yesterday, tied together by one crazy, weirdly-related, mirror-narrative of a most-violent future. A time-yet-to-be seen viewed in near-real time and from many angles — anyone with access to any particular form of media could easily follow the tale. The media has become Read More ...
Well, here it is again, another early Monday on California’s north coast with the skies nearly clear, and maybe even more warm than it will be in a couple of hours. And after a too-short weekend, it appears time itself has gone nuts — crazy being the egg that fried the golden goose. And speaking of ironic crazy: A Texas man used a gun to commit suicide in the infield Read More ...
