yeah but they live on in film and will always be forever young.
well we broke 130 today, and now Montana is joining in on the act.
they are on the upper side of this same fault system.
I was up on a ladder painting Littlegirls house this morning when one rolled through.
I thought I was getting shaky legs for a second then jumped down to wait it out.
she got a nice crack in her ceiling from one of them rolling through last night at about 2:30.
them poor guy's up in Mont. can't catch a break, they have lost about half their trees and prairie from the fires and now they are getting rolled about too.
the fires are bad enough I can smell what is burning throughout the day.
I know Waksupi [Ric] is pretty close to having to bail, he could see the fires up on the ridge across from his place there in Somers last night.

I had to marvel at the irony .
For several years what with rising sea levels and all that the Everglades were drying up .... Looks like they may have Everglades all the way up to Hollywood .
The Houston area would gladly pump the water out if only there were someplace to pump it .
Oregon would love to fire up the pumps and let the rainbirds run only they got no water to pump because everything but hydrants is shut down .
Here I sit in the middle of the Sierra shadow desert it won't rain and cool it off and the humidity is just high enough that it gets hotter when it does rain .
There's a 50/50 chance that the humidity is being caused by the water being dumped on the Oregon fires ........
No breaks when mother nature decides to remind us how insignificant we are .

Our last floods, and they were bad here, were because of heavy snow and rain in Montana. They had no place left to store water so they sent it downstream.
Good thing for me is that the Iowa side of the river is lower ground. Pretty sure it is because the women on that side of the river are heavier.....

irony?
the fires are so big because of all the moisture we got this winter/spring.
it's been a rough year.
we had snow piled up 10' high all over the place.
then everything flooded or tried to flood this spring.
we finally dry out and everything lights on fire, or is trying to not be destroyed from being shaken to pieces.

Prett much how I see it fiver.
Look at parts of CA. Good rains so lots of growth. Then a dry year so it burns. Raw ground is then hit with rains so we see mud slides. Repeat.
Sometimes Mother Nature just needs to let us know how insignificant we really are.

Big quake in Guatamala yesterday was supposedly felt in the upper-midwest US, I wonder if it's the same thing passing the whole NA continent or just coincidence. The trusted prez of Mex said it was the worst in a hundred years. Irma set a new world record for 37 hours of sustained 185mph winds, while Jose is right behind it and another hurricane hit eastern Mexico. LA area is burning too, lots going on right now, kinda scary actually.

yeah.
it's usually spread out, one thing here, one thing there.
now it's all at once.
today we had a small rain storm come through it spit just enough to mess up the car wash.
but it sort of cleaned up the smoke enough to see the mountains again, yesterday I could see the smoke blow across the street about 200yds away.
we are still having little bumps here and there.
some light enough you just feel them in your butt then a slight creak noise somewhere and the dumb dog runs around barking like someone is here.
we got to be near 150 by now.
I'm still not convinced we ain't gonna see something bigger than a 6, the chances are minimal but the more you have the less that chance becomes.
I must not be the only one thinking that way, bottled water and snack foods [to augment the 36hr kits everyone has on hand] are at a premium here in town there just ain't any to be had unless your right there when the truck comes in.

They are saying possible 7.0+, but they really don't know. There have been 141 earthquakes in southeast Idaho since Saturday evening — all near the Caribou County city of Soda Springs. There were 25 quakes Wednesday, 20 on Tuesday, 28 on Monday, 34 throughout the day on Sunday and 34 on Saturday night. All 141 of the quakes were reported by University of Utah Seismograph Stations. Hope you got everything setup if you need it.

Mexico just had a 8.1+ 60 dead so far.
Be safe up there fiver.

well that's quite the optimistic report there.
I imagine they just called the court building or city hall,,, all 25'x35' of it.
our first responders are all volunteers that are home all day doing nothing, they would most likely be the ones getting rescued.
the FEMA class they speak of was kind of more like a red cross first aid class, only without the certification.
but they did have people lay down at the biggest city park and had others come pick them up on stretchers and carry them over to the pavilion for some lunch.
the church has better emergency classes then that.

Not only is all this happening, but the sun burped out some truly massive eruptions of plasma or whatever the sun burps. The big one is the biggest seen in some time.
Sounds like the end is near! Oh well, got a week of haying weather coming up if I don't die.
