This is an easy one. Overcast with mists or drizzle rather than rain.
And as it will have an hurricane in it too that will modify the spell
for the UK to 1 hour back for each increase in hurricane strength.

Then just down the coast on the Cascadia subduction zone, some
movement. This is the same scenario as the week prior to the
Northridge temblor. It should have been called the San Fernando Valley
Quake as it epicentered on the border of Northridge and Reseda. Maybe

The fundamental reaction that releases the energy necessary for the
survival of oxygen-breathing organisms is the oxidation of
hydrocarbons. But this simple fact raises a troubling question: If our
bodies are made up essentially of hydrocarbons, why aren't they also

THere is already a Low over the UK. Soon it will be joined by another

some Aleutian quakes when it left the Appalachians/ XCarolinas or

Der Coach asks me to send his greetings to all. It's been
a while since he's posted. Had himself a run in with a hobo
spider but is doing fine. He hopes to be back online soon
gracing us all with his wonderful charm and wit.

All plants, large and small alike, from grasses to tall trees and the
multitudes of flowers, can transport water and the nutrition they
carry from the soil up to their farthermost leaves and branches. Yet,

More user friendly.  Pans over entire US and then some, but only
the PNW earthquake data was being displayed.  Presumably this will
be the future display page for all US earthquake information?

Water is a basic condition for life, but it is entirely absent from
the solar system's 63 other celestial bodies. However, most of our
planet is covered with water. Oceans and seas make up three fourths of
the Earth's surface while the land itself contains countless numbers

In the event of a big one, California is planning to send casualties to Arizona.
Guess what?  Arizona gets its pharmaceuticals from distribution sites in California and New Jersey.
There will be no pharmaceuticals until they get flown in from NJ.
Depressing.

The Earth's crust, the surface on which we daily walk and build our
houses safely, in fact moves on a layer called the mantle which is
denser than the crust. If there was not a system in place to keep this
motion under control, continual shocks and quakes would occur on the

The Wave That shook the World
That is on Christmas Day, so it may be a repeat of the old documentary
about the Sumatra tsunami.  The trailer mentioned something about the
Pacific North West being at risk.  I don't remember anything about the

Well, we have many, many tremors in the Aleutians in a very few days!
But first, I must say you that I was expecting an 8.5 for the Planet
for last July, (June 24th, this group)....It was not....We must
analyze a little, because more important  was my estimation of a 9 for

An 18th Century religious diatribe about the sins of the people leading God
to give us an earthquake warning of the wrath to come.  Religious fanatics
still do this today but not with such eloquence.
